4. Конфигурација на DIP прекинувач

The Mini Converter UpDownCross HD uses a series of dip switches to configure its conversion settings. These switches are located on the side of the unit. Refer to the diagram printed on the converter or the detailed manual for specific settings. Each switch corresponds to a particular function or output format. Ensure the power is disconnected before adjusting dip switches.

• Output Format Selection: Use switches to select the desired output resolution and frame rate (e.g., 1080p29.97, 1080i50, 720p60).
• Режим на обработка: Switches may control options like Level A or Level B SDI output, or enable/disable processing.
• Input Detection: The converter typically auto-detects the input format, but specific switches might fine-tune this behavior.

After setting the dip switches, reconnect the power. The converter will apply the new settings.
