The Multi-Input Display mode is available when Option CAM is installed. This
mode supports the simultaneous display of up to four SDI inputs of the same
format. You can choose to view a specific stream of a multi-stream signal (such
as a 2xHD Level B 3 Gb/s signal) or both streams together. This mode is only
available for use in the WFM, GAMUT, and VECTOR displays. SIM mode
allows for two SDI input channels to be displayed simultaneously.
Enabling the Multi-Input display mode is a two step process. The Multi-Input
menu option is only available in the WFM, GAMUT, and VECTOR pop-up
menus when the feature is enabled from the MAIN button menu and the display is
viewed full-screen. To enable this feature:
1. Press and hold the MAIN button.
2. Navigate to Multi-Input Mode.
3. Press the SEL button to highlight Enable.
4. Press the MAIN button to dismiss the menu.
The Multi-Input display mode is now enabled. The next step is to turn on the
feature in a given trace by doing the following:
1. Select the tile in which you want to view a multi-input display.
2. Press and hold the Display Select button to view either a WFM, Vector, or
Gamut display full-screen.
3. Press and hold the WFM, VECTOR, or GAMUT button to view the pop-up
menu for that display.
4. From the pop-up menu, select On for Multi-Input Display.
The Multi-Input display mode will now be active.
NOTE.
The Multi-Input display may be selected for each tile individually, but it
will only be active when the tile is displayed full-screen.
You can configure another tile without multi-input mode so that you can switch
quickly between Multi-Input and normal input modes by switching tiles. In
four-tile display mode, all tiles will display the currently selected input.
If you have two separate signals connected to two different inputs on the rear
panel of the instruments, you can control which channel is displayed by pressing
the associated Input button on the front panel of the instrument. When the input
button is lit, the channel is displayed. When the button is not lit, that channel
will not be displayed.
