Overview
Generator Window Menu Operation
The Generator window, selected using the “Generator” tab at the top of the screen,or by selecting the
<g> key on a locally connected keyboard. It is used to create, export and select line patterns for output
via the SDI, HDMI or DisplayPort outputs.
The main part of the Generator window is a working desktop to place test patterns ready for selection.
The panel on the right of the window allow the selected test pattern to be configured. The Patterns
tab in this panel is used to configure the test pattern image, the Audio tab is used to configure the
audio associated with the test pattern and the Common tab displays the current system resources
being used by the currently selected test pattern.
The generator can produce over 35 different line patterns which can be output at any size and frame
rate. When the Ultra is delivered, however, it may only have a few test patterns displayed in the
Generator window.
When a displayed test pattern is selected, it will be rendered into memory with characteristics (such as
number of pixels, number of lines and colour space) defined by the currently selected output format of
the
SDI Outputs
block,
HDMI Output
block or
DP Output
block in the
Connections
window. Note that
the link from the Generator block to the SDI Outputs, HDMI Output block or DP Output block defines
that actual video format that the generator will produce.
