Choose whether to output via single link, dual link
or quad link for 3G, 6G and 12G-SDI video signals
8K Formats
8K video is played back via quad link SDI and you can choose your desired quad link
output format.
The two options available are:
Square Division Quad Split – The 8K image is distributed as four quadrant 4K images in a
2 x 2 multi view configuration. Each 4K quadrant image is supplied via SDI using a quad link
connection and reconstructed at the destination to form a complete 8K image. This is also
the selection to use if you want to send each output to a separate display to create a video
wall of Ultra HD monitors.
Sample interleave – Alternate pixels from a single 8K image are distributed as four
separate 4K images via quad link SDI, then combined at the destination to form one
complete 8K image. Therefore, an added benefit of this format is the option to use any of
the four outputs as a down converted 4K image.
