4-1-2. Setting the input mode
The mode can be set for each input only when HD has been selected as the system format. 
When SD is selected as the system format, the input mode is always the same as Normal.Normal: 
  Input signals in conformity with the system format take effect.
D by D: 
  When SD signals with the same frame rate as the system format have been input, they are input on a 
dot by dot (1 magnification) basis with no up-conversion.
 

  (This setting is only possible when the system format is 1080i.)
      In this mode, there is minimal deterioration in the image quality and, as such, the mode is used to 
combine SD format material using the PinP function.
UC: 
  When SD signals with the same frame rate as the system format have been input, they are  
up-converted. (This mode can be selected for inputs 5 to 8 only.)
Auto: 
  Input signals in conformity with the system format take effect. 
      Furthermore, if SD signals with the same frame rate as the system format are input when HD is 
selected as the system format, they are up-converted. (This mode can be selected for SDI inputs 5 to 
8 only.)
      In the A
uto mode, the images may be disturbed when the input signals are switched.

There are five output signal types: PGM, PVW, AUX, MULTI and KEYOUT.
Five lines of output signals can be assigned to OUTPUT1 to 6.PGM: 
  This is the main-line output of the switcher; images with wipe, mix, key and other effects added to 
them are output.
PVW:  This is the pre
 view output which enables the next operation to be checked in advance.
AUX:  Signals selected b
 y the AUX bus are output.
MULTI: 
  This is the multi view display output. The multiple input signals and output signals are reduced and 
output to one screen.
KEYOUT: 
  This outputs the key signals.
