Note that whilst the lookup table adjusts how the waveforms and the Vector Scope are
displayed, the data shown in the Data View window is always the exact data on the serial
inputs.
Output Format
Where OmniTek XR includes the Dual Link option, it is possible to produce either single-
link or dual-link output from either single-link or dual-link input. It is further possible to
produce this output in either YUV, RGB or XYZ format as required.
The key to the operation is the selection of the Dual-link option on the Video Standard
toolbar (see page 36). When this option is ticked, the facility to handle both dual-link input
and dual-link output is enabled. The Video Standard toolbar is also used to set the
system for the video standard of the input.
With Dual-link ticked on the Video Standard toolbar, it is then possible to control whether
the output is single-link or dual-link, and YUV, RGB or XYZ format, using the options
offered here in the Output section of the Video: Dual Link page of the Engineering
Settings control window.
Picture Settings
Picture State Errors
Where the Motion-Capture option is selected, OmniTek XR can detect whether the
picture is moving or frozen, or whether the picture has gone to black, or to black and
white. All three detectors have individual timeouts, with the condition not being detected
until that time interval has elapsed. The settings for the detectors are configured here.
• Motion Content
A level of filtering can be applied to the picture. This is designed to accommodate an
analog VTR that is parked on a single frame. While the picture is frozen, the varying
analog noise from the VTR will mean that each frame is actually slightly different. The
filter setting removes a certain amount of noise. What is tested is the filtered image.
The filtering is actually based on an equivalent noise level. Thus if you have a uniform
image, and add -36dB of noise to it, then setting this value to -36dB means that the
detector is on the threshold of noting the image as moving or not. Following on from this,
a setting of -6dB will filter out high levels of noise, and a setting of -54dB will only filter out
a very tiny amount of noise.
