Operating

The SmartScope Duo 4K offers flexible monitoring options for video and audio signals.

1. Načini prikaza

Each of the two screens can be independently configured to display either the incoming video signal or one of the available scope views. Use the control buttons on the front panel or network software to switch between modes.

• Video View: Displays the live video feed from the selected SDI input.
• Valni oblik: Shows the luminance and chrominance levels of the video signal.
• vektorskokop: Displays the color information (hue and saturation) of the video signal.
• RGB Parade: Separates and displays the Red, Green, and Blue components of the video signal.
• YUV Parade: Separates and displays the Luminance (Y) and Chrominance (U, V) components.
• histogram: Illustrates the distribution of luminance values in the video image.
• Audio Phase & Level: Displays audio levels and phase relationships for embedded audio channels.

Rješavanje problema

Ovaj odjeljak pruža rješenja za uobičajene probleme s kojima se možete susresti.

Nema snage

• Provjerite je li kabel za napajanje sigurno spojen i na uređaj i na ispravnu utičnicu.
• Provjerite je li utičnica aktivna tako što ćete uključiti drugi uređaj.

Nema video signala

• Ensure the SDI input cables are correctly connected to the SmartScope Duo 4K and the source device.
• Confirm that the source device is outputting a valid SDI signal.
• Check the selected input on the SmartScope Duo 4K.
• Verify that the video format (SD, HD, 6G-SDI) from the source is supported by the unit.

Incorrect Scope Display

• Ensure the correct scope view (waveform, vectorscope, etc.) is selected for the display.
• If using network control, verify that the software settings match the desired display.

Problemi s mrežnom vezom

• Provjerite vezu Ethernet kabela.
• Verify network settings on both the SmartScope Duo 4K (via its configuration utility) and your computer.
