When the system frequency of the loaded disc (59.94i/ 59.94P/29.97P or 50i/50P/25P) matches the system frequency of the unit, but the system line settings (1080 or 720) do not match, then an "FC" mark appears and disc playback is cross converted automatically. E-E output is not cross converted.

For details of how to insert a disc, see "Loading and unloading a disc" (page 47). SD up convert function By installing the separately sold PDBK-S1500 option, you can output HD while playing discs recorded as SD. HD down convert function You can always output SD while playing discs recorded as HD. To specify the frame to use as the thumbnail image You can display a list of thumbnails of all clips on a disc, and use it to check the recorded content (see page 64). When the unit is shipped from the factory, it is set up to display the first frame of each clip as the thumbnail. As required, you can select another frame to display as the thumbnail. For example, if there are several seconds of color bars recorded at the start of the clip, selecting a frame several seconds after the end of the recording of color bars can make it easier to identify the clip. The GUI screen allows you to select thumbnail frames while viewing the video. For details, see "Changing clip index pictures" (page 67). You can also use setup menu item 143 INDEX PICTURE POSITION to specify a different default frame. You can specify the initial frame in any of the first few seconds after the initial frame. The setting range is 0 seconds to 10 seconds.
