X DELAY (WAVEFORM TOOLS)
This feature allows the waveform display to be panned right or left at the chosen level of X ZOOM detail. A low
delay value relates to the left hand side of the vision raster and a high delay value relates to the right hand side of
the vision raster.
AUDIO VOLUME
Audio embedded into the SDI / HD-SDI signal can be monitored by plugging headphones into the 3.5mm jack
socket on the VSM-100 front panel. Using the AUDIO VOLUME option, the Menu Dial can be used to increase or
reduce the volume at the connected headphones, so it is monitored at a comfortable level.
AUDIO CHANNEL
The first 8 audio channels embedded into an SDI / HD-SDI signal can be monitored by the VSM-100. Using the
AUDIO CHANNEL option allows selected stereo pairs to be chosen for monitoring with the headset socket. The
chosen pair is underlined on the VSM-100 output display also.
CONFIGURATION
This option in the VSM-100 Main Menu allows set up of Video Thumbnail, SDI loopthrough, Capture setting and
confirmation of the VSM-100 firmware revision.
VIDEO THUMBNAIL
Allows the option to switch the video thumbnail on the scope display between 4x3 (4:3) or 16x9 (16:9) aspect ratio
when working with Standard Definition inputs. A HD input should be viewed in its native 16x9 aspect ratio.
SDI LOOPTHROUGH
Allows the SDI output of the VSM-100 to be used as:
ON
= A clean video loop through – SD or HD
OFF
= A secondary scope output – HD-SDI 1280x720
OFF
is the default option at power on
NOTE:
This setting can be over-ridden by the
VIDEO DISPLAY
setting in the VSM-100 main menu.
CAPTURE
The VSM-100 scope displays can be set to sample
FIELD1
,
FIELD2
or
FRAME
depending on the users
requirement. This choice is confirmed in the top right hand corner of the current scope display.
DSC labs camera alignment tools
Camera alignment tools such as DSC labs’ C
am Align Books
and
Chroma Du Monde
can help speed up the
camera alignment process by introducing known calibrated constants into the sampled video that should produce
a standard VSM-100 Waveform, Parade or Vectorscope pattern. The live lighting and camera settings can then
be adjusted to produce a VSM-100 pattern that matches a calibrated pattern.
