OmniTek 2.3 manual Generator window, Mini-Pic Window

Graticule calibration can be based around the standard SMPTE range of 64 to 940/960 (expressed as decimal, in 10bit format), or alternatively around the full range of 0 to 1023 (again decimal, 10bit). Full range video formats are particularly useful when using RGB signals in a Dual Link set-up. For example, Thomson Viper cameras generate RGB in the range 0 to 1023. Other cameras generate RGB in the range 0 to 940. Having the variable calibration means the waveform monitor can be set to suit.

Look & Feel

The ‘Look and feel’ menu selection opens a dialogue that allows the colours of various items to be customized. The Gamut window uses the same colour selection as the Waveform window. Details are given in the section on the Waveform window (page 59).

Generator window

Where the Motion/Caption option is included, OmniTek XR incorporates an ivideo store. This window provides access to the video store. Its operation is described in the section on Generator Functions, which starts on page 70.

Mini-Pic Window

The Mini-Pic window displays a representation of the video that is currently being analysed, at full resolution in SD or at half (single field) resolution in HD.

Where the video being processed includes time codes or closed captions, these can be displayed on the Mini-Pic by taking the appropriate options from the Options menu as described below. The Safe Action and Safe Title areas defined in by the Cage Generator (page 82) may also be displayed in this way.
