Page 79: Applying A Custom Pattern List
This subsection describes how you can apply a custom pattern list that you have created. Often you will have created the pattern list on your host PC but you may wish to apply it on the 980 instrument itself. In order to do this you will have to transfer the pattern list from your host PC to the 980B prior to using it.
Page 80 980 SDI Video Generator / Analyzer - User Guide Rev. B1 The File Transfer panel appears as shown below: Page 80 April 17, 2017...
Page 81 Note that you will have to highlight a directory on the Instrument Files panel in order to enable the Copy or Move button. In this case since you are using the external 980 GUI Manager, the “Local Files” are the files stored on the Host PC.
Page 82 980 SDI Video Generator / Analyzer - User Guide Rev. B1 4. Navigate to the Pattern Tab on the Generator panel and select your list using the Pattern List icon on the bottom status panel as shown below. The Pattern Lists dialog box will appear as shown below.
Page 83 980 SDI Video Generator / Analyzer - User Guide Rev. B1 5. Select the Pattern Lists icon and then the desired Pattern List as shown below: Page 83 April 17, 2017...
Page 84 980 SDI Video Generator / Analyzer - User Guide Rev. B1 The result is that there will be a restricted list of test patterns available and display in the Pattern tab window (below). The Path icon on the bottom status panel will display that new list.

Page 93: Set Control Menu
PID Override – The PID Override selection opens up a dialog box for configuring the Payload ID Override. The Payload ID Override enables the 980 SDI Analyzer function to either: 1) Ignore the incoming Payload ID and use the values you define in the PID Override dialog box or 2) Use the incoming Payload ID from the source.
Page 94: Payload Id Override
Payload ID Override The 980 SDI Video Analyzer enables you to override the incoming Payload ID and configure how the analyzer will interpret the incoming video. This is useful when you are testing an SDI source video stream with a corrupt or invalid Payload ID.
Page 95 Read Default The Default activation button resets the values. The Write activation button configures the Payload ID override information such that the 980 SDI Write Analyzer function interprets the incoming video with the Payload ID values you have configured to override the incoming Payload ID.
Page 96 For example you can select 12G-SDI and then make changes to the Payload ID parameter values. For example you can change the sampling of the Payload ID to cause the 980 SDI Analyzer to interpret the incoming video as 4:4:4 rather than 4:2:2 (change not indicated in example above).
Page 97: Viewing The Pixel Color Values
4. Click on the Write button to cause these modified values to be transmitted out the module’s SDI interface. Viewing the Pixel Color values The 980 SDI Video Analyzer enables you to determine the color values of any particular pixel on the incoming video.
