DGA-6000 ULTRA-HD VIDEO GENERATOR / ANALYZER USER MANUAL

Video Analyzer
Analyzer Source & Monitor Requirements
Source -
The Analyzer is designed for HDMI video sources only, and is not compatible with DVI signals or
non-video computer display formats. Refer to the compatible video formats in the Characteristics section of
this manual. The Analyzer accepts HDMI signals with HDCP v2.x, HDCP v1.x, or no HDCP protection.
Monitor -
For maximum compatibility with video sources connect the Analyzer output to an HDR / Rec 2020
compatible UHD TV or UHD Monitor equipped with an HDMI input that supports HDCP v2.2.
The DGA-6000 will not remove or alter the HDCP protection level of the Analyzer’s incoming video signals.
The Analyzer will not change incoming signal formats or convert HDR video to SDR video. Therefore, the
Monitor must be fully compatible with the video source driving the Analyzer input, else the Monitor may
display the source video and the Analyzer information panes incorrectly, or not at all.
When changing input signal formats the Analyzer’s Monitor may go blank for 5-10
seconds, or momentarily report an invalid video format as the Analyzer performs
extensive input measurements to lock onto video formats that may contain timing or
format errors. Cycle the DGA-6000 power with input & output signals already attached if
the Monitor remains blank or continues to report an invalid format. Should Analyzer
Panes appear irregular after video format changes, cycling the Menu key should return
Panes to normal in most situations. If not, cycle the DGA-6000 power.
Analyzer Operation
Analyzer Panes
- Analyzer information is displayed in two Panes, the Cursor Values PixelPane and an
InfoPane (only available with the Pro Engineering Option). The InfoPane can be assigned a variety of
functions, which are detailed in the Analyzer InfoPanes section of this manual.
The InfoPane is always displayed to the left of the PixelPane, but both Panes will automatically shift left or
right on the screen such that the PixelPane’s cursor pixel at the intersection of the cursors is never visually
obstructed. The black background of the Panes can also be turned off (made transparent) so that the
incoming video can be viewed with minimal obstruction.
Active Pane
- Press the Pane key on the IR remote control to change the Active Pane, which is indicated by
3 dashes “---“ in the line below the Pane title. Only cursors and other controls belonging to the Active Pane
can be changed, although information in the inactive Pane is still updated automatically.
Pages
- Some Panes have multiple pages of information, which is indicated by P1 … Px in the bottom left
corner of a multiple-page Pane. Press the Func
Pane keys sequentially to cycle between available pages.
Modes
- Some Panes have modes (Mode:) or other user settings that will be highlighted as green text when
selectable. Press the Mode key on the IR remote control to move from one selectable mode or setting to
another, but use the Up/Down or Left/Right cursor keys to change a mode setting or selectable setting.
Cursor Selection
- Some Panes have cursors (horizontal and vertical lines, or rectangles). Cursor locations
will appear in green text when they can be changed. Press the Cursor key to change which cursor location
settings are active.
Cursor Movement
- Use the Up/Down or Left/Right cursor keys to move the cursor locations by one pixel or
one line. Press the ANZ
key once, then the Up/Down or Left/Right cursor keys to start automatic cursor
movement in a desired direction. Press the same direction cursor key multiple times (without repeating the
ANZ
key) to increase the rate of movement. Press a different direction cursor key to change the direction of
cursor movement, which will also reset the rate of movement to its slowest rate. To stop automatic
movement of the cursors press the Enter key.
