SDI I/O
2K/HD, capture and monitoring is simultaneous
SDI I/O
4K/UltraHD with 12G-SDI, capture and monitoring is simultaneous.
SDI I/O
4K/UltraHD with 3G-SDI, all four connections must be used for either Input or Output.
SDI I/O
8K/UltraHD2 with 12G-SDI, connections must be used for either Input or Output.
Note
When connections are configured for 12G-SDI or 6G-SDI, only UltraHD/4K/UltraHD2/8K formats are supported.
