The functionality of this Source toolbar is shown through the following block diagram.
Where the system includes the Motion-Capture option, the source to the Analyzer
module, the SDI monitor, the Monitor Output and the Serial Outputs can all be selected
between Serial Input and the output from the Generator (video store). However, when
operating in Dual Link mode, the source to the Analyzer module, the Monitor output and
the Serial Outputs all must be the same i.e. they must either all look at the Generator
output or all at the Serial Input.
Note: This toolbar includes the facility to switch between full dual-link operation and a single-link
mode in which either Link A or Link B is used as the input. This facility exists purely to
provide a quick and easy way of switching between single- and dual-link modes
depending on the input that is being analysed. If single-link operation is required for an
extended period, you should select a single-link video format on the Video Standard
toolbar as this offers slightly more functionality.
Video Standard Toolbar
The Video Standard toolbar has one function, which is to select the appropriate video
standard.
The toolbar has two forms – one used for basic XR systems (shown here) and the other
used where the optional Dual Link module is present (see below).
The toolbar provides a shortcut to selecting the video format through the Engineering
Settings control window (see page 21). Using the drop down menu is identical to
selecting the video format from the Video: General section of the Engineering Settings
control window. The video lock is unchanged. (If required, the video lock can be set within
the Video: General section of the Engineering Settings control window.)
Ticking Auto detect causes the format of the input stream to be identified by matching
against the range of video standards supported by OmniTek XR. It also automatically
switches the video lock to Serial lock. Note: If Auto detect is subsequently cancelled, the
unit will remain in Serial lock until changed through the Engineering Settings control window.
Dual Link version
The version of the Video Standard toolbar displayed for Dual Link systems includes a
Dual-link tick box. Ticking this option enables the facility within OmniTek XR for handling
dual-link input/output as well as single-link.
