The scaler doesn’t process the format of interlace and progressive segmented frame, it will directly pass-through original format from the input source.
Trouble Shooting
- We strongly recommend using high quality 75Ω coaxial cables, bad quality of cable may affect the connection stability and transmission distance.
- SD-SDI (480i & 576i) in the SMPTE 292 standard 270M is not supported.
- Any change of HDCP settings must reboot to take effect.
