Reference Source
Select your reference source from the three options.
Auto
'Auto' mode will default to external if there is a signal connected to the 'ref in'
connection on the rear panel. If there is no reference connected, it will default to
the input SDI or HDMI source.
Input
Select 'input' if your source has embedded reference that you want to sync to.
An example of this would be where your tape based deck may have a genlock
source directly connected.
External
If you have an external reference device, for example the Blackmagic Sync
Generator, connected via the 'ref in' connection on the rear, select 'external'.
Reference Timing
If you are archiving from analog based tape decks, you may find you need to adjust the
reference timing for accurate color representation. This is especially the case if you don't have
a valid reference signal. The reference adjustment lets you adjust the timing of the video outputs
of your hardware relative to the video reference input. This is commonly used in large broadcast
facilities where the video output needs to be accurately timed. The reference adjustment is in
samples so you can get an extremely accurate timing adjustment down to the sample level.
Adjust the number of lines and pixels by tapping the arrow to the left to decrease or the arrow
to the right to increase.
Tap on the arrows to increase or decrease your timing lines and pixels.
NTSC Setup
For analog NTSC inputs, select between 0.0% IRE and 7.5% IRE depending on the region you
are working in.
Analog Component Levels
When you have selected component video, you can switch between SMPTE and Betacam
levels. SMPTE levels are more common, and even Betacam SP can use SMPTE, so only switch
to Betacam if you are sure that Betacam levels are being used.
