1080i & 720p – Freeze
Detect whether selected portions of the video image
are static for a period of time. Four independent
zones are set up and checked, each accessed from
a tab.
Note:
these four zones are common between the
Freeze
and
Black
parameters, so they can be set
up in either panel.
Enable Alarm:
check to enable this test
Full Screen:
click this button to set the selected zone
to full screen size.
Start & Stop / Line & Pixel:
define the size of the
zone by identifying it’s top left corner (Start line &
pixel) and bottom right corner (Stop line & pixel). The
range of lines and pixels is different for 720p and
1080i formats.
Note:
you can also set the zone size and position
by clicking the Freeze tab in the display area, and
using your mouse to drag the outline of the zone
Signal Quality:
Select a quality level appropriate to
the signal being monitored, over the range “Noisy” to
“HiQ”, so that the Freeze algorithm will know how to
treat noise when attempting to detect a frozen
image. Some experimentation may be required.
Duration, Occurrence and Interval:
Set up the error
detection window using the sliders.

1080i & 720p – Black
Detect whether selected portions of the video image
are continuously black for a period of time. Four
independent zones are set up and checked, each
accessed from a tab.
Note:
these four zones are common between the
Black
and
Freeze
parameters, so they can be set
up in either panel.
