OmniTek OTR 1001 User Guide, v3.1 R-6
Note: The number of frames that the OTR can load is limited by the size of framestore that is
available. In particular, when the Dual Generator option is selected (as described in Section
Q.12), the framestore is divided equally between the two generators with the result that only half
the amount of storage is available for loading any particular sequence of images. If you need
more frames to be loaded and
Dual Generator is ticked but not needed, we would recommend
clearing the tick beside Dual Generator .
Recognising a set of frames as a sequence
For frames to be recognised as a sequence, each filename must contain a fixed length number i.e.
smaller numbers must be padded to the same number of digits as the largest number. The number
can be anywhere within the filename, as long as the position of the number within the file name
does not change. The number must also increment contiguously.
Examples of incorrect filenames:
Test_7, Test_8, Test_9, Test_10, Test_11, Test_12 – The digits are not of fixed length. Test_7, 8
and 9 need to be renamed as Test_07, 08, 09 for this sequence to be recognised.
Fred_08, Fred_09, Fred_11, Fred_12 – the numbers do not increment contiguously – file
Fred_10 is missing, so the sequence will not load.
Tmp_02, 03_Tmp, Tmp_04, Tmp_05 – the position of the digits varies.
Playing out a Sequence
Sequences are loaded into the generator and played out in much the same way as individual files.
The only difference is that a set of transport controls are displayed as a Button Bar (see below).
Figure R-4:
Gen window ‘Transport Control’ Button Bar.
The transport controls offered are as follows:
Go to 1st frame of the clip/sequence
Step back in the clip by one frame
Play the clip backwards
Stop playing the sequence;
Play the clip forwards;
Step forwards in the clip by one frame
Go to the last frame of the clip
Enable Loop mode (for playing a sequence) – selected by default
Notes: (i) Pressing the BACK button or the Backspace key replaces the set of transport controls
by the main Gen window Button Bar without affecting any sequence that is currently playing.
(ii) The files from which the selected sequence is taken can be seen by right-clicking on the
pattern thumbnail and taking the
Locate on Disk option from the menu that is displayed.
Modifying the Output
All the options for varying the gain, noise level, colour balance etc. of the test signal described in
Sections Q.6 – Q.10 may equally be applied to any sequence that is played out.
