Video: Generator Settings 
 
The controls on the Video: Generator page of the Engineering Settings control window all 
relate to video generated by OmniTek XR. This page is not available when the OmniTek 
XR system does not include the Motion-Capture option. 
Power-On Defaults 
The Power-On Defaults option may be used to force the analog and serial outputs from 
OmniTek XR into a chosen video format, within half of one second from power up of the 
system, and therefore before the operating system has had time to load. The settings will 
remain in force until the OmniTek XR application has initialized, when the program 
settings will overwrite the power-on settings.  
To use this feature, just click the button, and the current settings will be written into the 
reprogrammable hardware on the OmniTek card. 
Panning 
By selecting Enable and a speed from 1 to 31, it is possible to have the image/sequence 
scroll sideways continuously. Selecting Reverse lets you change direction. If you keep 
Enable selected and drop the speed to 0, the image will stop scrolling and remain at its 
current position. To return the image to the normal position, clear Enable.  
Please note that one side of the image will drop one line during panning, since the image 
in effect wraps around from the right hand edge onto the start of the next line on the left 
hand edge.  
Blanking and Ancillary Data Playout 
The blanking and ancillary data played out may either be taken directly from the source or 
taken from the internal generator.  
Selecting  From Internal Generator removes all the ancillary data packets from the 
original source material.  
To play out data such as time codes and teletext subtitles from an .rvf file, the option to 
use blanking and ancillary data from the Source file must be selected. This is described in 
more detail on page 76.  
Note
  The option to use blanking and ancillary data from the Source Image is only available if 
the Advanced option is present. If this option is not included, the blanking and ancillary 
data can only be generated from the internal generator.
