Monitor Output Digital 

1x HDMI standard type A connector 

HD/SD 

Color space, YCbCr or RGB 

Bit depth, 8 or 10 

RGB Range, SMPTE or Full Range 

Video Processing 

Frame rate conversion/film cadence removal/insertion (3:2) 

Freeze (on input signal loss) to black or last good frame 

AFD input detection, down-convert control 

Nominal video delay HD/SD, 1 frame 

Up-Conversion 

Hardware 10-bit 

4x3 Pillar: results in a 4x3 image at center screen with black sidebars 

14x9 Pillar: results in a 4x3 image zoomed slightly to fill a 14x9 image with black side bars 

Full Screen: results in a 4x3 image stretched horizontally to fill in a 16x9 screen 

Letterbox to Full: results in image zoomed to fill fullscreen 

Wide Zoom: results in a combination of zoom and horizontal stretch to fill a 16x9 screen; this setting will introduce a small aspect ratio change 

Down-Conversion 

Hardware 10-bit 

Crop: image is cropped to fit new screen size 

Anamorphic: HD image is converted to full-screen SD with a 16x9 aspect ratio 

14x9: image is reduced slightly with aspect ratio preserved, black is added top and bottom, and the left and right sides are cropped 

Auto AFD: automatically selects the best down-convert mode based on the input video's Active Format Description (AFD) code 

Letterbox: image is reduced with black top and bottom added to image area with the aspect ratio preserved 

Cross-Conversion 

Hardware 10-bit 

1080i to 720p 

720p to 1080i 

720p to 1080PsF 

Aspect Ratio Converstion for  
SD to SD 

Letterbox: transforms SD anamorphic material to a letterboxed image 

H Crop: produces a horizontally stretched effect on the image; transforms anamorphic SD to full frame 

SD Pillarbox: produces an image in the center of the screen with black borders on the left and right sides and an anamorphized image in the center 

V Crop: transforms SD letterbox material to an anamorphic image 

14x9: anamorphic to 14x9 conversion

Ancillary Data 

Supports pass-through of PCM embedded audio        

Supports pass-through of non-PCM audio when source is in time with the selected ref (SDI In or Ext Ref).  Non-PCM audio is not supported during frame sync operation. 

All other ANC data is not passed 

Reference Input 

Supported reference video inputs include: 

1080i tri-level sync 

1080p tri-level sync 

720p tri-level sync

HDCP 

The OG-FS-Mini does not encode the HDMI output with HDCP encryption. By definition, HD-SDI inputs to the OG-FS-Mini are unencrypted. The HDMI specification requires HDMI monitors to support unencrypted inputs.
