Note12-bit unpacked clips are displayed as 12u. 12-bit unpacked clips created on an IRIX® system display as 12ub on a Linux system. Packed clips have no indicator.

Ignore Scan Format
  Enable Ignore Scan Format to:

- Ignore scan mode when determining whether a clip matches the project's default fps. If the scan mode of the clip does not match that of the project, clip information appears in cyan. For example, if you have a progressive NTSC-sized clip in an NTSC F1 project, the clip's information appears in cyan.
- Disable warnings that are usually given when you load clips with different scan modes into a module.
- Set all media to Progressive in Action no matter what scan mode is used by the source clips.
- Disregard scan mode when detecting mismatching resolutions, in any module that accepts multiple inputs.
