This menu item allows the user to control the SDI Pattern output. The SDI Pattern output can be
selected to be: Black, Pattern, DualA, and DualB.

If DualA or DualB is selected, the output is configured to be the first half of a SDI Dual Link
interface together with the SDI Black output (see below).

This menu item allows the user to control the SDI Black output. The SDI Black output can be
selected to be: Black, and Pattern.
The user may require more SDI Pattern outputs than SDI Black outputs.
When the associated SDI Pattern output is selected to be DualA or DualB, the SDI Black output
is forced to be the second half of an SDI Dual Link interface together with that SDI Pattern
output.
Circle Type
This menu item allows the user to enable the circle feature on the Pattern video output they are
operating on.
For the Composite 1 output, the menu line appears as: Circle Type = Off.
The options in the field are: Off, Static, and Animated.
Animated circles are useful as a lip-sync test as the circle and audio are synchronized together.
Animated circles are also useful for indicating the video is 'live'.

are operating on.
For the Composite 1 output, the menu line appears as Circle Size = nnn.
The options for the field are 0 up to a maximum of 540. The maximum number is related to the

551, etc.

they are operating on.
