The Multi-Input display 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.
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. 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. Press and hold the WFM, VECTOR, or GAMUT button to get a display in a
tile and to view the pop-up menu for that display.
2. From the pop-up menu, select On for Multi-Input.
3. Press the FULL button to activate the full screen view of that 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.
