Automatic Test Procedure - Pinnacle Systems Deko1000 Technical Reference And Service Manual

Setup for manual test mode:
If the NTSC Genlock or PAL Genlock test is to be done, then an input black burst signal must be
connected to the REF input connector on the back of the Deko1000 or Deko550 chassis. An input
NTSC signal source must be used for the NTSC Genlock test. An input PAL signal source must
be used for the PAL Genlock test.
If manual testing of the SDI channels is to be done, the SDI channel to be tested must be set for
loop back. Refer to "Setup for automatic test mode" above and Figure 4-1. Channel 1 is Video
Out (Out A) to Video In (In A). Channel 2 is Key Out (Out B) to Key In (In B).

Automatic Test Procedure

The following steps should be performed for automatic testing of TARGA card(s) within a
Deko1000 or Deko550 Workstation by way of the Inflexion I/O Diagnostic Utility test:
1. Turn on the Deko1000 or Deko550 Workstation.
Only the Windows OS should be running. If any other programs are running on the
workstation, then you should exit out of those programs.
Important: If your workstation is corrupted to the point where it will not boot up when turned on,
contact Pinnacle Systems Technical Support. Contact information can be found in Appendix A.
2. Start the Inflexion I/O Diagnostic software program.
Navigate the following path to the Inflexion Diagnostic software program:
Start >> Programs >> Deko1000 or Deko550 >> Diagnostic Tools
Then click the program "Inflexion I-O Diagnostic" to open it. A Window similar to that
shown in Figure 4-2 should be displayed.

Important: If the dialog shown in Figure 4-3 is displayed, then either the Deko program is also
running, or some other program is running that interferes with the Inflexion I/O Diagnostic.
