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
