•On
Ch [x] control Choices are:
Use routing (default).
Tone (inserts tone into the chosen audio channel).
Silence (mutes the chosen audio channel).
Note:
Phase invert is available only for PCM audio.
Note:
The Audio Shuffle menu allows any configuration of audio channels to be routed to the output. Illegal combinations will result in the output being forced to silence.
If both audio channels of an audio pair have been derived from non-PCM audio channels, there are two possible states, Non-PCM or Forced silence. To be recognized as valid non-PCM (N), both channels must:
Have come from the same input pair;
Have the left and right channels the correct way round;
Not have the phase inverted.
A failure of any of these conditions will cause the pair to be muted and the status to be reported as Forced silence.

6.4.5 Memory
The Memory button allows the unit to be reset to it s original configuratio n. Available functions are:
6.4.6 Home
Causes the Home screen to be displayed.
6.4.7 Convert
Convert provides a set of solutions to enable optimized conversion of film-orig inated content.
Film-originated content may be transported by standards supporting the original film frame rate, such as 1080 23.98p. Film-originated content may also be packed into interlaced standards using a rule-based method to map source frames to interlaced fields. In this case, the interlaced standard's content is described as having a film cadence.
In order to perform high quality conversion of film-originated content, the cadence must be identified and used to adapt the interpolation process. Film mode (
See section 6.4.7.2) also
permits the synthesis of film cadence in the output.
Note:
•The Audio Shuffle menu allows any configuration of audio channels to be routed to the output. Illegal combinations will result in the output being forced to silence.
If both audio channels of an audio pair have been derived from non-PCM audio channels, there are two possible states, Non-PCM or Forced silence. To be recognized as valid non-PCM, both channels must satisfy 3 conditions:
have come from the same input pair;
have the left and right channels the correct way round;
not have the phase inverted. Failure of any of these conditions will cause the pair to be muted and the status to
be reported as Forced silence.

Issue 1 Rev 2 Page 31 © 2016 SAM
6.4.7.1 Clean cut
Clean cut processing detects scene changes and prevents interpolation across the cut. Only permitted if film cadence is off.
Default = Off.
6.4.7.2 Film mode
Use Film mode if input is interlaced (1080i or 525 or 625) and contains film-originated content. This adjusts the conversion aperture to give maximum vertical bandwidth.
Default = Off.
6.4.7.3 Input Cadence
The Input cadence menu allows the user to define any cadence associated with the input video.
Enable
If the input content is film-originated, or simulates film-originated content, Enable should be set to On. Otherwise, it should be set to Off.
Default = Off.
Example 1:
Input UHD 59p (with embedded 3:2 cadence), Output 1080 23p, 59 Cadence set to 2:3. Input frame sequence: A, A, B, B, B, C, C, D, D, D … When cadence is On the output frame sequence will be: A, B, C, D … When cadence is Off the output will be a linear frame rate conversion.
Example 2:
Input UHD 50p (with embedded 2:2 cadence), Output 720 25p Input frame sequence: A, A, B, B, C, C, D, D … When cadence is On the output frame sequence will be: A, B, C, D … When cadence is Off the output will be a linear frame rate conversion.
59 cadence
If the input is film-originated and its frame rate is 59.94Hz, then the ca dence shou ld be set as either:
2:3 (default)
2:2 (psf)
2:3
When set to Automatic (default) the input cadence will be determined by the cadence detection circuit. This feature is useful when the source material contains mixed cadences.When set to Input timecode, the user defines the relationship between timecode and the 2:3 sequence. This feature is useful when the source material contains known continuous 2:3. This setting removes any uncertainty that may be associated by use of the sequence detector (automatic mode).
Note:
This mode is relevant only for film originated content where the cadence is carried in an interlaced format. Where film-originated content is carried in a progressive format, Film mode should not be used.
Kudos Pro UHD1000 System Operation
Issue 1 Rev 2 Page 32 © 2016 SAM
2:2
This control allows the user to define the position of timecode when th e 2:3 sequen ce begin s. The assumption is made that the start of the 2:3 seque nce is aligned with the st art of program and under normal working practices, that the start of program is coincident with an integer hour value.
This control is active only when 2:3 is set to Input timecode and Drop-Frame Timecode is present. For non-Drop Frame Timecode sources this control has no effect.
Control is available from 1 hour to 23 hours, in steps of 1 hour. The default is 1 hour.
6.4.7.4 Output Cadence
Allows the insertion of film cadence on the output. Output frame rate must be 50, 59 or 60Hz. For all other output frame rates, cadence processing is automatically disabled.
Example 1:
Input 1080 23p, Output UHD 59p, 59 Cadence set to 2:3. Input frame sequence: A, B, C, D … When cadence is On the output frame sequence will be A, A, B, B, B, C, C, D, D, D … When cadence is Off the output will be a linear frame rate conversion.
Example 2:
Input 720 25p, Output UHD 50p Input frame sequence: A, B, C, D … When cadence is On the output frame sequence will be: A, A, B, B, C, C, D, D … When cadence is Off the output will be a linear frame rate conversion.
Enable
If the output content is required to have a film cadence associated with it, Enable should be set to On.
Default = Off
59 cadence
If the output is to have a film cadence associated with it and its frame rate is 59.94Hz, then the cadence should be defined as either:
2:3 (default)
2:2 (psf)
2:3
If the output is 59Hz (60Hz) and a 2:3 cadence style is selected, this control allows the sequence to be locked to output timecode.
When set to Free run (default) the output 2:3 cadence startin g point is not defined. The output will have continuous 2:3, but may vary from conversion to conversion.
When set to Output timecode, the user defines the point where the 2:3 sequence starts relative to timecode.
Kudos Pro UHD1000 System Operation
Issue 1 Rev 2 Page 33 © 2016 SAM
2:2
This control allows the user to define the starting position of the 2:3 sequence with respect to timecode. It is active only when 2:3 is set to Output timecode and the T imecode gene rator is set to Drop-Frame, or, when following input timecode, the source has Drop-Frame Timecode present. When operating with non-Drop Frame Timecode this control has no effect.
Control is available from 1 hour to 23 hours, in steps of 1 hour. Default is 1 hour.
6.4.8 ARC
Click ARC (Aspect Ratio Control) to determine the aspect ratio of a picture from a range of options, or to adjust the size and position of the picture manually.
6.4.8.1 Sync Mode
The Sync mode control reduces processing latency if there is no ARC (same format input to output, i.e. the unit is operating as a synchronizer). This gives the lowest latency.
Off (default): normal operation. The ARC controls will function.
On: If scaler features are inactive (no aspect ratio conversion) and Sync mode enabled, the scaler is bypassed, so reducing the processing latency by one frame. It is possible to bypass the scaler only when up-converting 1080p to UHD, down-converting UHD to 1080p or synchronizing (same standard in and out). In all other modes the scaler is active and this control will have no effect on latency.
6.4.8.2 Signalling Detected
Displays the currently detected signalling.
6.4.8.3 Post Scale
The Post scaling control enables you to adjust the size and position of the picture manually.
Menu Option Operation Post scale enable Off (default)
On - Enables manual adjustment of aspect ratio. Note: These controls do not operate in UHD to UHD mod e. Adjusting
the picture size in any down or cross-conversion mode can increase the amount of visible alias. To avoid this it is recommended that the Horizontal and Vertical filters are set to Narrow 1.
Size Adjusts the size of the whole output image while maintaining the
aspect ratio. Range is 80% to 120% in steps of 1%. Default is 100%.
Aspect Adjusts the aspect ratio of the output image. Range is 70% to 150%
in steps of 1%. Default is 100%.
Pan Adjusts the horizontal position of the output image. Range is -50 to

Signaling Src
When an SD source contains more than one style of signalling, select the appropriate item:
SMPTE 2016 (default)
L23 ETSI
•L23 AFD
VI SMPTE
•VI AFD
Alternate Center Cut Alternate center cut is Off by default. When off, behavior on receipt of certain specific AFD
codes ignores protected regions. When Alternate center cut is On, the ARC behavior for these six specific codes will be to remove any black bars and also remove the gray bars that will leave the Alternative Center. The Alternative center will therefore be stretched to fit the screen so that the whole white area fills the screen. This will override Fit to width, 14:9 and
Fit to height settings, so that all three give the same output result. It also overrides the SD Output format control (Anamorphic or Normal).
Behavior with Alternate center cut on and off is shown in the table below:
Force Input Format
Off (default)
On - Defines the input format as selected below. Will be active when input signalling is not present.
SD Input Format
For SD inputs, manually select forced format from the list:
Normal - use default aspect ratio
16:9 anamorphic - horizontally squeezes a widescreen image to fit a standard 4:3 aspect ratio
16:9 letterbox - preserves the original aspect ratio of film shot in a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio, with bars visible at the top and bottom of the screen.

source, giving consistent and repeatable delay. If the video output frame rate differs from the genlock source frame rate, the output will 'clock lock' to the genlock source. Clock lock ensures that the output audio 48kHz clock remains locked to the genlock source.
When attempting to pass non-PCM audio (other than Dolby-E), ensure that Genlock is enabled. If using an external reference, it must be clock-locked to the input video.
6.4.10.2 Timecode
The Timecode menu enables you to set up and control the unit's timecode options for VITC (Vertical Interval T imecode), LTC (Linear Timecode), and ATC (Ancillary T imecode). In the HD domain, both Embedded VITC and Embedded LTC are supported. In the SD domain, VITC, ATC LTC, and ATC VITC are supported.
When present, timecode can be handed over from the input or internally generated. Where the input frame rate is 29.97 fps, both drop frame and non-drop frame modes are supported. For 29.97fps outputs, timecode can be configured as either drop frame or non-drop frame.
Menu Option Operation Genlock source Reference (default): locks to the incoming reference.
Input: Locks output to input. When input and output frame rates are integer related, selecting Input will force the unit to a fixed processing delay.
Free run: locks the output video to an internal reference clock.
Reference status Shows the status of the currently assigned reference. For example, if
genlock is assigned to input, status shows Input followed by the current status of the input. If there is no signal on the assigned reference, status shows REF Loss.
Mode status Reports - Selected lock mode: Output format: lock status (genlock,
clocklock, freerun)
