3 In the status area, select an output. 4 Set the conversion method. The operation is similar to setting an internal format converter. For details, see "Setting the format converter conversion method" (page 447). Setting the P/I Converter The P/I converter converts a 1080P format signal to 1080i for output. The P/I converter can be set for each group of four outputs. Notes • On the XVS-9000, the P/I converter is not available. The format conversion of output signals by output format converters can be configured (see page 461). • This setting is available only when the switcher signal format is 1080P. • Enabling the P/I converter will disable through mode. • Format converter output connectors, spare connectors, multi viewer output connectors, and M/E dedicated output connectors cannot be set. • On the XVS-7000, format converter outputs 9 to 12 cannot be used when the P/I converters for output connectors 9 to 12 are enabled. And format converter outputs 13 to 16 cannot be used when the P/I converters for output connectors 13 to 16 are enabled. • When using a network connector board (XKS-T8165/ XKS-Q8166/XKS-C8166), the board must be reset after changing the P/I converter setting. For details about resetting a board, see "Initializing Network Interface Settings" (page 388). 1 In the Engineering Setup >Switcher >Output menu (7333), press [Output P/I Converter]. The Output P/I Converter menu (7333.7) appears. 2 Select the target output to set. Select one of the four target outputs to set. 3 In the group, press [1080i]. To disable the P/I converter, select [1080P]. 4 Press [Execute]. On the XVS-9000, four multi viewer systems (1 to 4) are available, whereas on the XVS-8000/7000/6000, two multi viewer systems (1 to 2) are available. You can specify the screen layout and signal assignments for each system independently. Notes • Use output connector boards installed for use with the multi viewer for the multi viewer outputs. On the XVS-9000, multi viewer outputs must be assigned to output connectors (see page 456). • In 4K format, the following restrictions apply. - In 3840×2160P SQD and 3840×2160PsF SQD, only split-by-4 screen can be selected. The sub images are displayed using 16 small-sized sub screens, which have the same limitations as sub screens of a split-by16 screen. - In 3840×2160P SQD, output is in 1080P signal format. In 3840×2160PsF SQD, output is in 1080PsF signal format. - On the XVS-8000/7000/6000 in 3840×2160P 2SI, the output signal format can be set to 3840×2160P or 1080P. The image may be momentarily distorted if the output signal format is changed. - On the XVS-9000 in 3840×2160P SQD and 3840×2160PsF SQD, when there is no input signal, a color background may be displayed in part of the screen. • When the screen is split by 10, 13, or 16, the following restrictions apply to the small-sized sub screens. - If there is no input signal on one sub screen in a vertical pair of sub screens, it takes approximately three seconds before the image on the other sub screen in the pair is displayed normally. For example, in a split-by-16 screen, the following pairs of sub screens become the target for control: 1 & 5, 2 & 6, 3 & 7, 4 & 8, 9 & 13, 10 & 14, 11 & 15, and 12 & 16 - The image refresh rate is reduced, so rapid changes in images may not be displayed smoothly. Name display Sub screen Configuring Multi Viewer The multi viewer is a function that splits the screen for display of multiple images at the same time. 463
