To Set Up Video Sources

Tip: You can see if there is a valid video signal on an input BNC from the Input Status menu.
  1. Press HOME > Setup > Installation > Source Configuration > Input Type.
  2. Use the Input knob to select the input source that you want to configure.
  3. Use the Physical BNC knob to select the physical BNC that you want to assign the input source to. Physical BNCs that appear gray are on Video Inputs boards that are not installed.
  4. In the Input Type area, select how you want the input source configured. Input types are assigned to the input sources, and not the physical BNC.
    Note: All input sources must be assigned to Video or Alpha unless the device connected to that input source is controlled by the switcher.
    • Alpha — alpha signal to be paired with a fill, or video, signal for an auto select key.
    • Char Gen — video signal from a character generator.
    • Off — no video signal, or to temporarily turn an input off.
    • Robotic Cam — video signal from a robotic camera.
    • Router — video signal from a router.
    • Video — video signal from any source you are not controlling from the switcher.
    • VTR — video signal from a VTR or video server.
  5. Use the Video Mode knob to select the HDR and WCG of the input video source. If the dynamic range and/or color gamut of the video source are different than the those the switcher is operating in, the input video will be converted to the values the switcher is operating in.
    • SDR BT.601 — Standard Dynamic Range in an SD video format. (SD default)
    • SDR BT.709 — Standard Dynamic Range in an HD/UHDTV1 video format. (HD/UHDTV1 default)
    • HLG BT.709 — Hybrid Log Gamma in an HD/UHDTV1 video format.
    • PQ BT.709 — Perceptual Quantizer in an HD/UHDTV1 video format.
    • S-Log3 BT.709 — Sony® S-Log3 in an HD/UHDTV1 video format.
    • SDR BT.2020 — Standard Dynamic Range using Wide Color Gamut in an HD/UHDTV1 video format.
    • HLG BT.2020 — Hybrid Log Gamma in an HD/UHDTV1 video format.
    • PQ BT.2020 — Perceptual Quantizer in an HD/UHDTV1 video format.
    • S-Log3 BT.2020 — Sony® S-Log3 in an HD/UHDTV1 video format.
    Note: There are restrictions on the types of HDR and color gamut conversion you can do, and you can adjust the scaling of the conversion. Refer to High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Wide Color Gamut (WCG) Conversion for more information.
    Note: The MultiProcessor Input board must be in Mode 2 for HDR and color gamut conversion. Refer to MultiProcessor Input Mode for more information.
  6. Press BNC Configuration.
  7. Use the Video Format knob to select the video format of the input video signal on the selected input source.
    Note: If you are selecting a UHD-​2SI format, only BNCs 1, 5, 9, 13, or 17 can be selected. The remaining three video inputs are grayed out.
    Note: The MultiProcessor Input board must be in Mode 0 or 1 for Level B to A conversions. Refer to MultiProcessor Input Mode for more information.
  8. Press HOME > Confirm.
