TEST SIGNAL. This menu item allows you to access test signal sets when the
module is in generator mode. Select this menu item, and then press the ENTER
button to access the SDI TEST SIGNAL submenu. (See page 72, SDI TEST
SIGNAL submenu.)
Once you have accessed the submenu, you can select a test signal from a signal
set. For example, when you select the COLOR BAR signal set, a signal in the
Color Bars signal set is output. Use the left (◄) or right (►) arrow button to
select a different signal from the Color Bars signal set.

signal and sets the blinking mode for the overlay. Select this menu item, and then
press the ENTER button to access the SDI OVERLAY submenu. (See page 83,
SDI OVERLAY submenu.)
TIMING. Sets the timing offset of the serial digital video outputs relative to the
internal reference signal (frame reset signal). This allows you to adjust the timing
of this module relative to another module or to an external reference (such as
Genlock or GPS). Select this menu item, and then press the ENTER button to
access the SDI TIMING submenu. (See page 92, SDI TIMING submenu.)
TIMECODE. Use this menu to set timecode parameters for the selected output.
Press the ENTER button to access the SDI TIMECODE submenu. (See page 93,
SDI TIMECODE submenu.)
VIDEO. Enables or disables the individual components of the output serial stream,
such as YCbCr, RGB, or XYZ and allows the edge-shaping filter to be enabled
or disabled on the video. Also allows the A/V timing mode to be invoked. For
SD formats, Error Detection and Handling (EDH) packets can be enabled or
disabled. Select this menu item, and then press the ENTER button to access the
SDI VIDEO submenu. (See page 94, SDI VIDEO submenu.)
ANCILLARY DATA. Use this menu to define and control the user-defined ancillary
data payload insertion. Press the ENTER button to access the SDI ANC
PAYLOAD submenu. (See page 97, SDI ANC PAYLOAD submenu.)

or Disable the SMPTE 352M Payload Identifier, and then press the ENTER
button to confirm the selection.
