OmniTek XR User Guide, Software Release 2.3 Page 39
5. Application Windows
OmniTek XR offers a range of windows within which to display different aspects of the
video that is being analysed. The various displays are generated in hardware in real time
from the video being processed. The displays are also fully integrated, with the different
windows showing information about the same frame of the video data stream.
The windows that can be displayed are called up by clicking icons on the Windows
toolbar.
The different windows are described below in alphabetical order of name. First, however,
a description of some window controls that are common to all the windows described in
this section.
Note: The precise range of windows offered depends on which additional packages are
included in the OmniTek XR system that is being used.
Window Controls
The windows associated with OmniTek XR all have drop-down menus through which to
configure how the window contents are displayed or otherwise manipulate the window.
Not all windows have exactly the same controls, but the following section covers some
general features of the windows. Further specific details may be given alongside the
descriptions of the windows themselves, which start on page 40.
Options menu
The windows generally have an ‘Options’ menu. The following selections appear in
several of the windows.
Graticule Calls up a sub-menu that allows the user to:
Enable/Disable the display of graticule
Show graticule labels
Specify the graticule as SMPTE range, or full range
Set the scale of the graticule at 75% or 100% (Vector Scope only)
Set the calibration for different PPM scales (Audio PPM windows)
Crosshair Shows/Hides a crosshair indicating the current position of interest in
the window.
Look & Feel Calls up a common Look & Feel dialogue through which aspects of the
window such as the colours used can be set. You can, for example,
select the colour of the crosshair, independently of the colour of the
cursor. The page that is active on opening depends on which window
you opened it from. (The selected colours may be saved as a preset
through the Configuration menu.)
Show Active Tooltips
Displays line and sample number of the point under cursor. For
interlaced video formats, the line number is based on the field selection
that has been made on the Crosshair toolbar, as described on page
31.
Save snapshot Takes a snapshot of the current contents of the window, which is then
saved to a file in an appropriate format. For example, Waveform, Mini-
Pic, Picture Quality and Vector Scope windows are saved as bitmap
images, while the Data View window is saved as a text file.
