Port remote RS-232 terminal
This terminal window can be used to communicate with the periphery device which is
connected to the RS-232 port on the remote extender.
6.3.10. Frame detector
Some input and output ports can show detailed information about the signal like blanking
intervals and active video resolution. This feature is a good troubleshooter if compatibility
problems occur during system installation.
To access this function, open the parameter window for the
input or output port on which the signal has to be checked.
Click the Frame Detector button to show detailed timings.
If the desired port does not have this feature, the signal can be routed to the Preview
output port on the CPU2 board and the Frame detector can be used on the output port.
Figure 6-12. Frame detector window
Lightware's frame detector function works like an input signal analyzer and makes
possible to determine the exact video format that is sent by the source, thus helps to
identify many problems. For example the actual timing parameters may differ from the
expected and this may cause some displays to drop the picture.
The frame detector measures the detailed timings on the matrices' incoming video signals
just like a built-in oscilloscope, but it is much more easy to use. The parameters are
displayed on an intuitive graphical interface. The actual display area shows the active
video size. The grayed area of the full frame is the blanking interval which can contain the
infoframes and embedded audio data for HDMI signals.
The shown values are measured actually on the signal and not retrieved only from the
HDMI infoframes.
