A.1 Introduction
The Omnitek Ultra 4K Tool Box combines in a single box a video format converter capable of
up/down/cross conversion, colour and image manipulation in all current and anticipated 4K video
formats up to 4096 x 2160/60, with waveform analysis and video generation across the same
range of video formats. In doing so, it offers a complete solution to the conversion and analysis of
Ultra HDTV and Digital Cinema signals, allowing manufacturers, designers, researchers,
broadcast stations, networks, outside broadcast units and systems integrators to build, test and
commission 4K products and systems with complete confidence.
The Omnitek
Ultra is also available as a standalone 4K Analyser or 4K Converter or 4K Test
Signal Generator or as any combination of those roles.
All four versions of the
Ultra offer of a variety of connection formats – multi-rate SDI, HDMI and
DisplayPort – for both video source and display. Conversion between physical and image formats
allows operation in multi-format video environments, while comprehensive SDI eye and jitter
analysis features (available as an optional extra) enable system designers to rapidly locate sources
of signal error in all signal paths up to 12G-SDI single link 4K.

Please note : The only user-serviceable parts are the fuse associated with the power supply and the
battery on the motherboard that backs up the system clock. There are no other user-serviceable
parts. In particular, the SD card on which the Ultra software is supplied is not a user-serviceable
device: swapping this card out will remove calibration data.
