Extended View

OmniTek XR offers an alternative ‘Extended View’ of the Data View window. When Extended View is selected within the Options menu, the standard pixel value display is enhanced through the addition of pixel colour data and descriptions of identifiable structures such as VANC packets in the video signal.

The range of information that can be displayed depends on whether the video signal that is being analysed is SD or HD or dual-link. For instance, combined Y/C information is displayed for SD signals, but separate Y-type and C-type information is displayed for HD signals. The range of additional information to display is selected through the submenu associated with the Extended View menu option.

Within the active video, both a value and a set of pixel data are shown for each pixel. In dual-link input formats, the RGB and XYZ colour space data is assembled into full pixel values.

Within the blanking area, VANC packets are identified and interpreted by comparing the signal received against information supplied alongside OmniTek XR as XML files. These files enable the identification of a range of AES controls, SMPTE time codes and RP188 control codes. Users may also add their own packet definitions to install XML-format descriptor files, for decoding custom VANC packets. If the VANC packet is not one of the standard types ‘understood’ by OmniTek XR, the heading “Unknown VANC packet” will be displayed together with the embedded ID to allow separate identification.

Options menu

The Options menu for the Data View window includes the following choices:

Save # samples

Sets the number of pixel pairs displayed in the Data View window (and saved when a snapshot of the Data View is taken).

Base

Offers the choice of displaying the data as decimal, hexadecimal or binary values.

Viewing Format

Offers alternative ways of formatting the data that is displayed. Dual-link video signals can be interpreted either as 10bit or as 12bit. 8:2 interprets 10bit data as 8 bits + 2 bits. This has the advantage of making standard groupings such as those associated with SAV and EAV easier to pick out.
