Video Format Conversion
Standard FS1-X Conversions
The standard FS1-X can convert almost any input format to nearly any output format, as long as the frame rates are of the same frame rate family. The three families are:
• 23.98, 29.97, 59.94
• 25, 50
• 24
NOTE: See "Conversion Exceptions" below
FRC FS1-X Enabled Conversion
When the factory installed Frame Rate Converter (FRC) option is present and active, conversions between different frame rate families are supported. An appropriate genlock reference format will be required.
