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.
Selecting an input to be displayed does not change the inputs being monitored. For
example, if you have two SDI signals connected, one to input 1A and the other to
input 1B, pressing the 1B button so that it is not lit will eliminate the channel from
a trace display, but not stop the channel from being monitored for status or alarms.
You can select to view one or both streams simultaneously of a 2xHD Level B 3
Gb/s SDI signal from an input button pop-up menu. When you press and hold an
input button, the pop-up menu that appears allows you to select to view stream 1,
stream 2, or both streams of that signal.
The following Input 1A button pop-up menu options appear when a trace display
is set to Multi-Input display mode in full screen. If your instrument is equipped
with option 2SDI, pressing the 1B, 2A, or 2B input buttons will give you the same
menu options as follows, but with different labels.
NOTE.
You can customize the input labels. (See page 29, To Customize Input
Labels.)
Input 1A: shows the entire stream when a signal stream signal is used or both
streams overlayed when a 2xHD Level B 3 Gb/s signal is used.
Input 1A.1: shows only the first stream of the two streams of a 2xHD Level
B 3 Gb/s signal in the input in the trace display.
Input 1A.2: shows only the second stream of the two streams of a 2xHD
Level B 3 Gb/s signal in the input in the trace display.
Input 1A.1+2: shows both of the two streams of a 2xHD Level B 3 Gb/s
signal individually. Each trace is labeled in the display as either Input 1A.1
or Input 1A.2 (or a label you have customized) and shows both streams
individually in the trace display.
NOTE. When Multi-Input mode is disabled, only the first three options in the
previous list appear in the input button pop-up menu.
