5. Application Windows

OmniTek XR offers a range of windows within which to display different aspects of the video that is being analysed. The various displays are generated in hardware in real time from the video being processed. The displays are also fully integrated, with the different windows showing information about the same frame of the video data stream.

The windows that can be displayed are called up by clicking icons on the Windows toolbar.

The different windows are described below in alphabetical order of name. First, however, a description of some window controls that are common to all the windows described in this section.

Note: The precise range of windows offered depends on which additional packages are included in the OmniTek XR system that is being used.

Window Controls

The windows associated with OmniTek XR all have drop-down menus through which to configure how the window contents are displayed or otherwise manipulate the window. Not all windows have exactly the same controls, but the following section covers some general features of the windows. Further specific details may be given alongside the descriptions of the windows themselves, which start on page 40.

Options menu

The windows generally have an ‘Options’ menu. The following selections appear in several of the windows.

Graticule	Calls up a sub-menu that allows the user to:
	Enable/Disable the display of graticule
	Show graticule labels
	Specify the graticule as SMPTE range, or full range
	Set the scale of the graticule at 75% or 100% (Vector Scope only)
	Set the calibration for different PPM scales (Audio PPM windows)
Crosshair	Shows/Hides a crosshair indicating the current position of interest in
	the window.
Look & Feel	Calls up a common Look & Feel dialogue through which aspects of the
	window such as the colours used can be set. You can, for example,
	select the colour of the crosshair, independently of the colour of the
	cursor. The page that is active on opening depends on which window
	you opened it from. (The selected colours may be saved as a preset
	through the Configuration menu.)

Show Active Tooltips

Displays line and sample number of the point under cursor. For interlaced video formats, the line number is based on the field selection that has been made on the Crosshair toolbar, as described on page 31.

Save snapshot Takes a snapshot of the current contents of the window, which is then saved to a file in an appropriate format. For example, Waveform, Mini- Pic, Picture Quality and Vector Scope windows are saved as bitmap images, while the Data View window is saved as a text file.
