Inputs & Outputs

Inputs and Outputs

Video Inputs

The PIX 250i accepts video input signals over HDMI, HD-SDI, and single link 3G-SDI Level A and B.

The PIX 250i does not accept analog video signals. See the Speciﬁcations section for a complete list of

supported frame rates.

HDMI

The PIX 250i accepts HDMI version 1.4a video and audio. Supported video resolutions and rates are

listed in the Speciﬁcations section. The PIX 250i HDMI input accepts up to 10-bit, 4:4:4 video, up to 8

channels of embedded audio. The PIX 250i also accepts Sony’s proprietary timecode over HDMI. The

digital audio embedded in the HDMI stream (32 kHz – 192 kHz) is always re-sampled to 48 kHz.

720p30/29.97, 720p25, and 720p24/23.976 are not supported on the HDMI input or the HDMI output.

HDCP copy protection prevents direct digital-to-digital copying of copyrighted material. Protected

DVDs, Blu-Rays, and streaming content with HDCP encryption is not valid content and will be ignored

by the PIX 250i.

SDI

The SDI input on the PIX 250i accepts video with embedded audio (up to 16 channels) and embed-

ded SMPTE timecode. This connection accepts digital video up to 12-bit, with up to 4:4:4 color sam-

pling. Unlike the HDMI interface, which auto-negotiates rates between devices, what comes out of a

camera’s SDI output is received by the PIX 250i with no auto-negotiation or sample rate conversion.

The PIX 250i supports 3G-SDI single link, but not dual-link HD-SDI.

Timecode over SDI is not available when recording in standard deﬁnition

Video Outputs

Both HDMI and SDI outputs are active simultaneously. This allows for conversion from SDI to

HDMI and HDMI to SDI.

The output video signal source is the signal present at the currently selected video input (Setup

Menu option [Video - Video Input]), except during video playback. The resolution and frame rate of

the output stream is determined by the Setup Menu option [Video - File Resolution/Rate] setting,

except during video playback. The SDI Output is capable of sending HD (4:2:2 10-bit) or 3G (4:4:4

12-bit), this is set in [Video - SDI Output Type].Video playback signal is sent to the HDMI and SDI

Outputs.

Standard Deﬁnition video is always output using HD Mode because 3G does not support Standard

Deﬁnition.
