Switch Over Priority
Selects which input (SDI or Optical) is the preferred input. This selection is valid only when an AJA optical SFP is installed. If and when the selected input signal is no longer detected, the auto switchover circuit will fail over to the non-priority input if present.
Choose from Last Valid Input, SDI Input, or Optical Input.
3G-B Mode
Selects the 3G level B Video Mode. Choose from the following: · Auto – automatically selects the format based on the input video parameters. · Level B-DL · B-DS Link 1 – use Link 1 · B-DS Link 2 – use Link 2
Video Format
This control can be used to force the Hi5-12G’s input video receiver to interpret that incoming video signal as either Progressive, interlaced, or PsF (Progressive Sequential Frame).
The default setting is Auto, in which the Hi5-12G examines the incoming video signal to determine which format is appropriate.
Choose from Auto, Progressive, Interlaced, or PsF. · Auto – Automatically selects the format based on the input video parameters
and the payload ID. · Progressive – Forces the Hi5-12G to interpret the incoming video as
Progressive. · Interlaced – Forces the Hi5-12G to interpret the incoming video as Interlaced. · PsF – Forces the Hi5-12G to interpret the incoming video as PsF.
Under normal circumstances you should always run in Auto mode. However, because interlaced and PsF formats are essentially the same signal, the Hi5-12G might confuse them. For example, if you know for sure that you receiving a PsF signal, but the Hi5-12G is interpreting it as an Interlaced signal while running in Auto mode, setting this control to PsF will force the receiver to interpret that signal as PsF. However, if the Hi5-12G is receiving a Progressive signal and you force it to interpret it as Interlaced, an invalid output video signal will be created.

HDMI/DVI
Choose Auto, HDMI, or DVI. When DVI is selected, any audio signals present are not passed. Choosing “Auto” automatically selects the output mode based on the attached device’s capabilities. When the incoming signal is 4K or UltraHD and the HDMI/DVI control is set to “DVI,” the output will be downsampled to deliver a 2048×1080 or 1920×1080 image. The downsampling is accomplished by passing only one of the 2SI quadrants from the SDI input signal. The output will appear to be a full picture, but is actually only one quarter of the total pixels. This feature is very helpful when connecting to a non-4K/UHD preview monitor.
HDR Metadata Tab Screen

Click on the HDR Metadata tab to view and, if necessary, make changes to the Hi5-12G High Dynamic Range metadata The Hi5-12G can identify HDR Metadata from the incoming SDI signal and either pass it through to the HDMI output, or override them and set new values for the HDMI output.
For SDI, this metadata defines the VPID (Video Payload Identifier) for Transfer Characteristic and Colorimetry. For HDMI, it defines the EOTF and Colorimetry and sets parameters for the Dynamic Range and Mastering infoframes. The HDR metadata is a mechanism to inform an HDMI sink device (such as a TV or monitor) that the video content is HDR encoded.
NOTE: HDR Metadata values do not modify video image data. They define the HDR metadata included in the video output.
For most workflows the Auto settings for the HDMI Out Overrides parameters are appropriate, which will automatically pass incoming HDR metadata, if present, through to the output. However, this metadata may need to be edited for a specific workflow, or to correct inaccurate incoming metadata.
NOTE: You can hover the cursor over each parameter field to view its corresponding description in a pop-up window.

Custom HDMI Metadata

The twelve Custom Metadata parameters on the left side of the HDR Metadata tab can be used to define HDR color, white point, and luminance values.

NOTE:

These settings are only applied when the HDMI Metadata parameter on the lower right is set to Custom. These values can be changed at any time (even with Auto selected), in which case those values will only be applied after selecting Custom.

Red, Green, Blue, White Point
These eight values define the color gamut and white point, and are adjustable in units of 0.00002 cd/m2, with a range of 0.00000 to 1.00000 cd/m2.
Presets
For user convenience, the eight top values (RGB vertices and white point) can be preset to default BT.709, default BT.2020, or to default DCI-P3 values.
DM Lum
These two parameters define the Display Mastering Luminance. · Minimum: Defines the floor of the SMPTE ST 2086 color volume (in the case of
