OmniTek 2.3 Embedded Audio status information, Dolby-E information, AES/EBU Status information

Embedded Audio status information

The following status information is displayed for each stereo pair of channels, arranged hierarchically according to the groups to which they are assigned.

OmniTek XR firstly detects whether each pair of channels is enabled or disabled. If it is enabled, the following status information is displayed. If it is not enabled, none of the following will be detailed.

Usage status	Professional/Consumer.
Audio sample	Audio/Data
Emphasis	None/50/15ms/CCITT J.17/Unknown
Lock status	Locked/Unlocked
Sample frequency	32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, or unknown
Channel mode	Dual/Single/"Primary/Secondary"/Stereo/Unknown
Word length	Default/16 bits/18 bits/19 bits/20 bits/22 bits/23 bits/24
	bits/user/unknown

Where the Dolby-E option is installed, the remainder of the display is used to show information obtained from Dolby-E data where this is encoded in the embedded audio. Similarly, where the system includes the External Audio option, the display may also include information about the audio associated with AES/EBU format video passed to the OmniTek XR via the AES card.

Note: The range of information displayed may be filtered to reduce it to just those items you are interested in. This is described in the section starting on page 119.

Dolby-E information

The Dolby-E information shown in the Audio Status window comprises the contents of the Dolby Frame included alongside each video frame, together with information such as the line of the video frame on which the Dolby Frame starts.

The information encoded within the Dolby Frame is very extensive and is described in detail in the section on Dolby Frame Data below.

AES/EBU Status information

The status information displayed about AES/EBU format audio on External Audio systems is much the same as that displayed about embedded audio.

Options menu

The Options menu in the Audio Status window includes the following options:

Flat View

Ticking this option selects the alternative ‘flat’ status display (see page 84).

Configure Timeline

This option allows you both to opt to display ‘timelines’ indicating the rate at which different type of errors are occurring and to set the parameters of that those timelines (as shown the following dialogue). See page 84.
