Configuring Dual-Serial Link I/O

Flame Assist supports dual-serial link input and output connections for 4:4:4 clip I/O. Configure the type of I/O connection (single- or dual-link serial) using the Input Connection and Output Connection boxes in the Engineering menu.

When you select an input or output connection for clip I/O, you usually also select the colour space conversion method using the Colour Space box on the Engineering menu. The conversion methods that appear in this box depend on the type of I/O connection used. The following table shows the colour space conversion methods that are available for single-link and for dual-link I/O connections.

Note: Headroom in input, output, and preview, is not supported by Blackmagic Design devices, only by AJA ones. This means that video going through the BMD device always has luminance in legal range.
