Format settings
These settings are required on all GV STRATUS systems.
Format settings let you configure video and audio settings. The
GV STRATUS application uses these
settings as follows:
- Conform
- When the Render Engine conforms a complex asset, such as a GV STRATUS sequence, into a simple clip, the Format settings define the format of the simple clip.
- EDIUS XS
- Format settings are inherited by EDIUS XS when the application is launched and a new project is created.
- GV STRATUS Rundown
- Format settings define the video standard settings, such as PAL or NTSC.
- GV I/O Appliance
- Format settings define the valid format for configured channels and ingested assets.
- Storyboard and Source Viewer
- Format settings define the video standard, audio reference, etc.
Access these settings in the GV STRATUS Control Panel application.
To locate these settings, click General | Format | Formats
