To create and save a test sequence with HDMI digital formats using a text file:
1. Create HDMI digital versions of the formats you will be using in the test sequence.
We recommend using the Format Editor. Please refer to “Creating custom formats
using the Format Editor” on page 186.
a. Load the format that you wish to use.
b. Specify the Color Encoding Method to set the digital video signal type as in the
example below:
c. Save the format under a different name. For example if you are using 1080p60, you
might name the new format as 1080p60h.
2. Using a text editor, open a text editor on your computer and enter the following
commands to create a three-step sequence named MySeq :
SEQN // initializes the sequence edit buffer
SEQB // begins a sequence editing session
STEP 1 // selects a step to be edited
SDLY 5.0 // sets the delay for the current step to five seconds
FMTL 1080p60h // loads an HDMI digital format
IMGL SMPTEbar // loads an image
STEP 2 // selects a step to be edited
SDLY 5.0 // sets the delay for the current step to five seconds
FMTL 720p60h // loads a second format (same image)
IMGL Outline1 // loads an image
STEP 3 // selects a step to be edited
SDLY 5.0 // sets the delay for the current step to five seconds
FMTL 1080i29h // loads a third format
