Feature Description
Picture Display Full-resolution video images can be displayed as part of the Viewer
window where the User Interface is displayed on an HDMI monitor.
The Aspect ratio is taken from AFD data.
Safe Area and Safe Title cages can also be shown.
Status Information
Comprehensive Status information with automatic flagging of errors.
Pixel Data Display of data from both the active area and from the blanking, shown
both in terms of the different ‘virtual interfaces’ (or ‘Inputs’) contributing
to an image and in terms of the data delivered on each cable. ANCs
interpreted and displayed on an associated screen. Current cursor position
in image linked across multiple data streams.
Gamut Monitored as part of Status information. Also presented in form of bar
charts for each colour component.
Timing Ability to make both Reference Timing and Relative Timing
measurements.
Physical Layer Analysis (4K Tool Box and 4K Analyser with PHY option):
Physical Layer
Analysis
Option of Eye and Jitter displays and measurement of SDI signal
characteristics across all video standards up to 6G. Addition of
PHY_ADV option extends the range of signal standards supported to
include 12G and adds Jitter Spectrum, Jitter Histogram and Jitter
Insertion (for test purposes) to the facilities offered.
Test Signal Generator (4K Tool Box and 4K Generator):
Test Pattern
Generation
Test signals generated in all video formats from patterns derived from
still images, line patterns and zone plates. Images taken from stored files;
line patterns and zone plates generated within the Ultra from presets.
Easy export and import of both source files and derived patterns.
Option of fixed
Back
Moving
Foreground
Test Patterns can comprise an image or a line pattern overlaid with a
zone plate. Another option is to divide the Test Pattern into segments
that pan at different speeds as the Test Pattern is played out.
Additional Features for SDI Video:
Interlink Delay
Insertion
Provided with the Generator:
Ability to adjust the timing of the
individual signals within a multi-link video format by up to 128 pixels
(depending on the video format).
SDI Jitter insertion Provided with the PHY_ADV option: Option of inserting jitter into SDI
video, e.g. for testing the robustness of an SDI connection.
Output Voltage
Control
Provided with the PHY_ADV option: Ability to mimic the effect of a long
cable by reducing the signal amplitude and adjusting the slew rate.
