Setting the Signal Format (Format Menu)

by each device, use the System >Format menu.
To display the Format menu
In the Engineering Setup menu, select VF1 ‘System’ and HF3 ‘Format.’
Notes
After changing any of the following settings, be sure to press [Execute] (or [FC
Format Execute] for changing the format converter signal format) to save the
new values. If you want to cancel the settings and return to the original state,
press [Clear] without pressing [Execute] or [FC Format Execute]. When you
press [Execute], some data is lost (such as frame memory images). If you press
[FC Format Execute], memory is not initialized, and this data is not lost.
Restrictions on signal formats and re-entry
Re-entry restrictions for an M/E on which a selected signal format can be used
depend on whether or not the color corrector is used. For details, see Chapter
9 “Preparations” (Volume 1).
