OmniTek 2.3 User Manual

Once multiple profiles have been created, it is possible to select between them from the 
Profiles dialogue (called up as described above). When OmniTek XR is started, the last 
used profile is automatically loaded but a new profile may be loaded at any time.  

  A ‘Preset’ is ideal for switching between different profiles. See page 11 for details on 

defining presets. 

If your XR system includes the Dual Link option, there will be an additional page on the 
Video section to control Dual Link specific settings. 

 

Serial Lock/Ancillary Data 

Since two coax cables are used for any dual-link connection, you can set the system to 
lock off either input, and you can similarly choose to decode ancillary data from either 
input. 

Monitoring Colour Space 

The output to the monitor can be either composite or XYZ format. 

Input Format 

Use this part of the dialogue to set whether the input is YUV, RGB or XYZ format. 

Look-Up Table (LUT) 

If your dual-link signal is in YUV format, the data values are not processed. However, if 
you are using RGB data, the values may be processed through a look-up table before 
display.  

The Linear setting leaves data unchanged.  

The Logarithmic setting applies a standard log lookup table to the data.  

Selecting  Custom uses your own lookup table. This needs to be loaded in using the 
‘Browse’ button, but once it has been loaded, you can switch between it and the other 
settings without having to reload. Custom lookup tables should be in CSV (comma 
separated variable) format. LUTs are included with OmniTek XR for Sony SR, and 
Thomson Viper cameras, which can be modified to create complete custom LUTs. The 
supplied LUTs are located in c:program files\omnitek\omnitek xr.  

A variable level of gamma correction may also be applied to the video.
