| Genlock: | Allows flashscan's camera to be synchronized to an external reference signal, enabling the scanner to be used with a switcher in live or live to tape or DVD situations. When used in combination with a video projector, film can be rolled "live" and the switcher can fade the film images in and out or integrate the film with other video signals. |
| SDI: | SDI—short for Serial Digital Interface—provides the highest quality output available from flashscan. The 10-bit, 4:2:2 color sampling maintains the pristine image produced by the camera, and enables the flashscan to be connected to many high-end, high quality recording devices, including Digital Betacam. Audio (if present) is embedded in the Serial Digital stream. |
| IEEE 1394 | Commonly known as a 6-pin "Firewire" port, this Digital connection feeds a DV stream to the matching inputs on DVCAM decks, consumer and professional camcorders and computers equipped with "Firewire." Films can be transferred to tape or captured onto hard drives by computer with quality comparable to BetacamSP. |
| Y—Cb—Cr | These three BNC connectors carry component analog video that can be connected to the component analog inputs on BetacamSP and similar decks for high quality analog recording. |
| CVBS | Otherwise known as Composite Video, this BNC connector provides standard NTSC video on NTSC units and video in the PAL standard on PAL dec ks.. |
| S-Video | The S-Video port allows connections to Pro-sumer and Consumer level recording devices that make use of this Y—C Component Analog Video for cleaner pictures when compared to Composite Video. |
| AES/EBU | 16 Bit, 48KHz Digital audio meeting AES/EBU standards is available here. |
Left/Right XLR |
Balanced analog audio at 6dBU for modulation of more than 50% |
| Left/Right RCA | Unbalanced analog audio at consumer audio levels (-10db nominal) |
| Biphase | For a double-system transfer with a separated sound source it’s necessary to synchronize the audio source to flashscan. The bi-phase signals from this port create a reference that can be used to lock other equipment to the flashscan's movement and speed. |
| Cam Rem | Connects the flashscan to the flashremote Control. |
B/W—Color |
A special b/w mode that switches the chroma channels off. The chroma pixels on the SDI output are all set to zero – that saves data rate when compressing to MPEG. |
| Frame—Field | In most cases the film runs at a lower speed than the video signal, so a frame rate conversion is needed. The conversion at the framestore works at two different ways: In the frame mode (frm) only full video images (consisting of two fields) are repeated to fill in the missing video frames. In the field mode (fld) the video storage repeats half frames (single fields) to match the frame rates. The field mode gives you “smoother” movements when watching interlaced video monitors. The frame mode could be more suitable for a progressive display like a computer monitor or a projector. |
| Audio EQ | The AUDIO EQUALIZER switch enables or disables the bass/treble adjustment at the internal audio preamplifier. |
