After you have connected a signal source to the rear panel of your instrument,
there are several menus to use to set up your signal:
Config > Input Mode: select whether the input mode is single or simultaneous
input and whether to enable or disable SyncVu and Multi-Input mode.
Config > SDI Input: select how SDI inputs are displayed. The instrument
can automatically detect the input format, sample structure, and transport type
(or you can specify these manually). You can also choose to not display the
EAV, SAV, and ANC data; set chroma alignment; select HD colorimetry; and
set the dual link threshold.
Config > Composite Input: select the input type, set sync AFC speed to fast
or slow, set DC restore to off, slow, or fast, set NTSC setup on or off, and set
PAL vector to normal or +V (requires Option CPS).
Input 1A/1B and Input 2A/2B: select to view the complete signal or selected
streams of a 2xHD 3 Gb/s SDI signal. Input selections that appear depend on
installed options and display settings. Possible menu options include Input
1A, 1A.1, 1A.2, 1A.1+2, 1B, 1B.1, 1B.2, and 1B.1+2.
If you have two separate signals connected to two different inputs on the
rear panel of the instrument, 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.
Connect one or more 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, or SD-SDI signals to the SDI inputs
on the rear panel of the instrument. After that is finished, use the front panel
buttons to set the parameters for monitoring the signals, such as thresholds, alarms
monitored, and audio source. (See Figure 9.) (See Figure 10.)
NOTE.
You can connect up to four SDI signals to an instrument with Option 2SDI.
This option allows you to add a second SDI module into Slot 2 of the instrument
rear panel (See Figure 11.).
