Playing out Test Signals
When working with a single generator, any pattern that is selected for play-out is automatically
output on both SDI OUT ports. When the
Dual Generators option is ticked, patterns for output
on SDI OUT 1 need to be selected for play-out by Generator 1 while those for output on SDI
OUT 2 need to selected for play-out by Generator 2.
To play-out a pattern on a particular generator, first the required generator needs to be selected.
The generator that is currently selected is the one highlighted at the top of the Gen window.
Control Panel Mouse & Keyboard
To play-out a sequence on a particular generator:
1. Use the GEN button to highlight the
required generator at the top of the Gen
window 1. Click on the slot for the required generator
at the top of the Gen window to highlight it
2. Load and play the required pattern in the usual way.
The pattern that is selected for play-out on Generator 1 is marked with a ‘1’. The pattern that is
selected for play-out on Generator 2 is marked with a ‘2’.
To play out the same pattern on both generators, for example with a different gain or noise level,
select the same pattern for play-out on both generators. The pattern is then marked with both a
‘1’ and a ‘2’, each associated with a separate progress bar. The version of the test signal output
on SDI OUT 1 is then played out with the modifications set for Generator 1 (see above) and
controlled either through the Button Bar of Transport controls when Generator 1 is selected or by
clicking and dragging on the ‘1’ progress bar, while the version of the test signal played out
through SDI OUT 2 is played out with the modifications set for Generator 2 and controlled either
through the Button Bar of Transport controls when Generator 2 is selected or by clicking and
dragging on the ‘2’ progress bar.
Note: The special features of playing out Stereo 3D (S3D) video are described in Section R.
Synchronising Generators
If required, it is possible to lock the generators together in such a way that they play out the same
frame from the same pattern, while still maintaining the difference of gain etc. specified within
the
Generator 1 and Generator 2 sections of the Properties control.
Control Panel Mouse & Keyboard
To synchronise the generators:
1. Call up the Properties control for example
by pressing the PROPS button.
2. Move the focus to the Link Generators
option within the Pattern definition and press
the GENERAL knob to tick this option
1. Call up the Properties control (for example
by pressing the Tab key.
2. Click on the tick box next to the Link
Generators option within the Pattern
definition.
Where this option has been ticked, the thumbnail for the pattern is marked and when the
pattern is selected, it is automatically played out on both generators. It is also automatically
stopped on both generators if another pattern is then selected to be played out on either
generator.
