To create and save a test sequence with HDMI digital formats using a text file:
1. Create HDMI digital versions of the formats you will be using in the test sequence.
We recommend using the Format Editor. Please refer to “ Creating custom formats
using the Format Editor ” on page 186.
a. Load the format that you wish to use.
b. Specify the Color Encoding Method to set the digital video signal type as in the
example below:
c. Save the format under a different name. For example if you are using 1080p60, you
might name the new format as 1080p60h.
2. Using a text editor, open a text editor on your computer and enter the following
commands to create a three-step sequence named MySeq:
SEQN // initializes the sequence edit buffer
SEQB // begins a sequence editing session
STEP 1 // selects a step to be edited
SDLY 5.0 // sets the delay for the current step to five seconds
FMTL 1080p60h // loads an HDMI digital format
IMGL SMPTEbar // loads an image
STEP 2 // selects a step to be edited
SDLY 5.0 // sets the delay for the current step to five seconds
FMTL 720p60h // loads a second format (same image)
IMGL Outline1 // loads an image
STEP 3 // selects a step to be edited
SDLY 5.0 // sets the delay for the current step to five seconds
FMTL 1080i29h // loads a third format
