8.12. Diagnostic Tools
8.12.1. Frame Detector
The ports can show detailed information about the signal like blanking intervals and active video resolution.
This feature can be used for troubleshooting if compatibility problems occur during system installation. To
access this function, open the port properties window and click on
Frame detector
button.
Frame detector window
Lightware’s Frame Detector function works like a signal analyzer and allows to determine the exact video
format that is present on the port, thus it helps to identify various problems. E.g. actual timing parameters
may differ from the expected and this may cause some displays to drop the picture.
Frame Detector measures detailed timings of the video signals just like a built-in oscilloscope, but it is much
easier to use. Actual display area shows the active video size (dark grey). Black area of the full frame is the
blanking interval which can contain the info frames and embedded audio data for HDMI signals. Shown
values are measured on the actual signal and not retrieved only from the HDMI info frames.
