Video settings
- What video latency setting do I need to use?
- The required Video Latency setting on the receiver's Video page
depends on the transmitter, so you must check and select the type of BSI
transmitter that you are using. If set incorrectly, the image may freeze or
result in picture judder. If you are using third-party equipment, consult
BSI Technical Support who will advise on the correct setting. Note: ‘BSI Freedom Tx (Low Delay 1080i)’ only needs to be applied when a Real Freedom Camera Back Transmitter is used in ‘Low Delay’ and ‘1080i’ format. For all other cases, set the video latency to ‘BSI Freedom Tx’ when a Real Freedom Camera Back Transmitter is used. This includes ‘Super-Low Delay’ mode.
- How do I synchronize the image to the production workflow?
- Set the Lines and Pixels offsets in the Frame Sync section on the receiver's Video page to synchronize the image to the production workflow. You can synchronize the image by connecting a B&B or tri-level signal to the receiver’s SYNC connector. If the parameters are incorrect, the video may not be synchronized at the video mixer, which will give production issues when cutting between different images. If you are required to frame sync your image, then it does not matter what values you use.
- Why is it important to set the video format correctly?
- If the Video Format is incorrect, you will either get no video image or
a corrupted image.Note: The production format defines the video mode and frame rate.
- How do I set the video source for decoding?
- The Video Source setting on the receiver's Video page specifies the video source as either 'RF' or 'ASI'. ‘RF’ is the default setting and means that the source for video decoding is taken from the diversification of the rear panel RF inputs (RF1–RF8) on the receiver. ‘ASI’ means that the source for video decoding is taken from the rear panel ASI IN.
