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-linktick box. Ticking this option enables the facility within OmniTek XR for handling dual-link input/output as well as single-link.
