Using image files created on a computer

Appropriate image size

Check the following appropriate sizes when creating a file.

- HD/1080i: 1920

1080, HD/1080PsF: 1920

1080, HD/720p: 1280

720, SD/NTSC: 720

487, SD/PAL: 720

576

- 3G/1080p: 1920

1080, 12G/2160p: 3480

2160

Images that do not match an appropriate image size will be centered for output without changing the size. If the size is too large, then the image is

displayed with the portion which does not fit the size cut out.
If the size is too small, then the margin around the image is displayed with a black image.
A file of the size which exceeds 3840

2160 pixels cannot be loaded.

The pixels of images in SD format are not square, so the aspect ratio will be different when the images are displayed on the computer and when they

are imported into the video memory. (The images will be vertically long in the NTSC system.)
To keep the images true to their actual proportions, create the original image in 720

540 pixels, and for the NTSC system, use an image reduced to

720

487 pixels. For the PAL system, use images enlarged to 720

576 pixels.

Compatible file formats for still image data

The compatible file formats are as follows.
Bitmap (bmp), JPEG (jpg), TARGA (tga), TIFF (tif), GIF (gif), PNG (png)

Compatible file formats for moving image data

Moving image data handled by the unit is in the original format. “clp” is added to the extension of the file (clip file) for exchanging data using a memory

card or a computer.
The sequential numbered still image files (TARGA format (tga)) can be converted to a clip file using a computer that has the ClipConvert software

installed. Also, it can be made into a clip file with audio data when an audio file (WAV format (extension .wav)) is loaded at the time of conversion.
For the ClipConvert software,visit the following website.
