OmniTek OTR 1001 User Guide, v3.1 R-7
R.4 Working with Stereo 3D Video
Stereo 3D video uses two linked video streams, one providing the images for the right eye and
the other providing the images for the left eye.
Where the GEN_2 option is installed, the OTR can be used to generate a Stereo 3D test signal
but some special steps are required when loading the components of this test signal, playing it
out or saving a copy to disk (if needed).
Note: The procedures are designed to cater for Stereo 3D but same steps may be used to load the
frames of any test signal that involves the synchronous generation of separate sequences of
images.
Loading 3D Images
3D images are loaded using the dedicated Load 3D Sequence…
option included in the File menu or the equivalent Load 3D option
included on the Button Bar. When this option is selected, the OTR
first offers a File Selector for you to pick out the Left eye images,
then follows this with a second File Selector for picking out the
Right eye images.
Figure R-4: Gen window Button Bar Load 3D option.
When the sequence is played out, the Left eye images will be output on SDI OUT 1 while the
Right eye images are output on SDI OUT 2.
The Load 3D options become active when Dual Generators are enabled. The procedure to use is
therefore as follows:
Control Panel Mouse & Keyboard
To load 3D images:
1. Call up the Properties control for example
by pressing the PROPS button
2. Check that the Dual Generator option is
ticked.
3. Take the Load 3D .option from the Button
Bar (Magenta button)
1. Call up the Properties control (for example
by pressing the Tab key.
2. Check that the Dual Generator option is
ticked.
3. Click on either the Load 3D .option in the
Button Bar or the Load 3D Sequence...
option in the File menu.
4. Use the File Selector that is displayed to select first the required Left-eye (SDI OUT 1)
image(s), then the required Right-eye (SDI OUT 2) image(s).
The 3D images that you have loaded
become represented in the Gen
window by a double-width pattern.
The thumbnail is automatically
marked
to show that, when
played out, the pattern will use both
generators and the generators will be
synchronised.
