V : Generator Basics
The following sections introduce the
Ultra
’s Generator window and the steps used to generate
video from image files stored on disk.
V.1 The Generator Window
The Generator window (an example of which is shown below) allows you to:

Use images available via the network connection as test patterns

Create colour bars and moving zone plates for use as test patterns
 Create test patterns made up of an image or a set of colour bars with a zone plate laid over
the top

Play out a sequence of test patterns

Adjust the properties of images etc. used as test patterns
The various options it offers are described across Sections V, W and X of this User Guide.
Figure V-1: Example Generator window display.
The main part of the screen is used to display a thumbnail for each test pattern that is currently
available to be played out. Written at the bottom of each thumbnail is the test pattern’s name (or at
least as many characters/whole words of this name as there is room to display).
A wide range of pattern types can be used as source for test patterns – still images of various formats,
sequences, zone plates and line patterns. The type of each test pattern is indicated by the icon in the
bottom right-hand corner of the thumbnail.
