Video Reference

The switcher receives a reference signal from the router. From that reference signal you can select the video format that you want the switcher to operate in. If you want to operate in a video format that is not supported by the current reference signal, you must change the reference on the router.

Important: Only the REF A reference input on Ultrix is supported at this time.

The current input reference format (Reference mode) and video format (Video mode) that the switcher is operating in are shown on the Main Menu. The status of the reference signal is shown by the color of the Reference mode text.

  • White — reference signal is locked and good.
  • Yellow — reference signal has been lost or can't lock for less than 10 seconds.
  • Red — reference signal has been lost or can't lock for more than 10 seconds.
