# Setting the Output Resolution of the UltraNEXUS-HD

## Use the following steps to adjust the output resolution. This applies to UltraNEXUS-HD, UltraNEXUS-HD X2, X5, Flex, Cast, and Blade servers.

### There are three options for output resolution:

NOTE:

- The UltraNEXUS-HD Cast and Flex only have SDI output capability.

- **1080i SDI+480iSD** 
    - SDI output puts out 1920x1080 interlaced  
          - 29.97 frames per second (59.94 fields per second)
          - (North American Standard drop frame)
    - SD (Composite) output puts out 720x480 interlaced 
          - 29.97 frames per second
- **720p SDI ONLY**  
    - SDI output puts out 1280x720 progressive  
          - 59.94 frames per second
    - SD (Composite) output is black (non-functioning)
- **480i SD ONLY**  
    - SDI output is black (non-functioning)
    - SD (Composite) output puts out 720x480 interlaced 
          - 29.97 frames per second
