General Safety
Avoiding Personal Injury
To avoid injury and prevent damage to the Ultra or to any products connected to it, use this product
only as specied and take the following safety precauons. Where the Ultra is being used alongside
other equipment, you must also ensure that you act in accordance with the advice given in the
documentaon supplied with those other products.
Only use the power cord that is both specied for this product and cered for the country of
use.
Ensure that the product is properly grounded through the grounding conductor within the
power cord.
Ensure that it is always possible for the user to switch o the power to the unit if need be.
Keep all product surfaces clean and dry.
Ensure that the unit is properly venlated.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere or in damp/wet condions.
Do not operate the Ultra with either the cover or any of the panels removed or otherwise
displaced from their standard posions.
Do not operate an Ultra that has been damaged (or that you suspect has been damaged).
When replacing the power supply fuse, only use a fuse of the specied type and rang.
Please note: The only user-serviceable parts are the fuse associated with the power supply and the
baery on the motherboard that backs up the system clock. There are no other user-serviceable parts.
In parcular, the SD card on which the Ultra soware is supplied is not a user-serviceable device:
swapping this card out will remove calibraon data.
Power Supply
Make sure that the unit is connected to the correct power supply voltage. A power supply adaptor
is supplied with the unit which may be connected to any AC power supply between 100 and 240VAC
at 50-60Hz. Only use the supplied power adaptor with the unit. Do not use a damaged AC cable with
the unit as it may cause a shock or re hazard. Replacement AC cables are available from your local
Omnitek agent.

Installaon Environment
Operang Temperature
The unit should only be operated between 5 and 35°Cengrade. If the unit is operated at a higher
temperature there is a possibility of a re hazard. If the temperature is changed rapidly from a cold
environment to a hot environment, moisture can be created internally which can cause malfuncon or
damage the unit. Allow the unit to sit for 30 minutes without power applied to reduce any possibility
of condensaon.
If the unit’s internal temperature rises above 87° Cengrade a warning dialogue will be displayed. If
the unit’s internal temperature rises above 99°Cengrade the unit will automacally go into safe mode
to aempt to avoid damage. Under both condions, an event will be added to the event log to show
what happened.
Input/Output Terminals
Do not connect the input or output BNC connectors to external power as this can damage the internal
circuitry and cause the unit to work incorrectly.
The BNC connectors tted on this unit are 75 Ω type which are not compatible with 50 Ω plugs.
The use of 50 Ω plugs will permanently damage the connectors on the unit and is considered
to be misuse of the equipment and will therefore invalidate the unit’s warranty.
When Not In Use
Disconnect the unit from the power supply and AC power source when not in use.
RoHS Compliance
Omnitek products are designed and manufactured using only RoHS compliant components and
materials. Therefore based on informaon provided by our suppliers, Omnitek ceres that ALL
products that it manufactures are “RoHS-5” compliant and that they do not exceed the designated
levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and
polybrominated diphenyl ether ame retardants (PBDE) legislated under the provisions of the
“European Parliament and Council Direcve” on the “Restricon of the Use of Certain Hazardous
Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (2011/65/EC)” and associated regulaons collecve
known as the “RoHS Regulaons”.
Disposal of Equipment
This product is subject to the European WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment) direcve and should be disposed of according to the regulaons of
each country.

Overview
Product Descripon
Next generaon tools for 4K/UHD
The Ultra XR is Omnitek’s new UHD Video Waveform Rasterizer that addresses the demanding
requirements of extended resoluon producon QC and 4K post producon grading.
Neat, powerful and sophiscated, Ultra XR has been designed specically for content creaves,
colourists, post-producon editors, and digital intermediate editors working with Ultra high resoluon
UHD images in all SDI formats.
The Ultra XR not only provides all of the tradional tools that are expected in these operang areas but
also supports the emerging standards for High Dynamic Range and Wide Colour Gamut.
The Ultra XR provides a comprehensive range of instruments required to analyse the video, metadata
and audio from the SDI data stream.
The high resoluon, at frequency response waveform monitor provided by the Ultra XR supports
video formats from SD up to 4K/UHD at frame rates up to 60Hz and supports both BT.709 and BT.2020
colour spaces.
In addion to the high resoluon waveform monitor, tradional instruments such as vectorscope are
included. Although this basic tool provides a level of usefulness in 4K/UHD applicaons, other tools
(such as BT.2020 colour space waveform displays, histograms and CIE gamut charts) are provided to
ensure that the new BT.2020 colour space rendion of the image is correct.
The advanced analysis and monitoring facilies of the Ultra XR oer addional capabilies such as
digital data analysis, ANC watch and decode (DATA opon), inter-link delay measurement, and 16
channels of audio status & PPMs, oering in-depth signal and content analysis with unquesonable
accuracy
Intuive user control and monitoring is provided via, HDMI, DisplayPort, SDI or web browser
connecons. The use of mouse & keyboard (oponal) allows the control surface to be operated with
single, quad and nine instrument user congurable displays that can be saved and recalled using
presets

Opons
Overview
The funconality oered by the Ultra system is determined by the system's licence le. This contains
the opons that have been purchased. Due to the nature of the opon structure, and then number
of dierent opon combinaons, it is possible that menus are displayed for funconality that is not
actually available.
Data (DATA)
The DATA opon provides a range of data
analysis tools to ensure the integrity of
Video, Audio and Ancillary data.
• Data View (see "Data View Tile")
• Cable View (see "Cable View Tile")
• Data Waveform (see "Data Waveform Tile")
• ANC Watch (see "Genlock Block")
• ANC Viewer (see "DP Output Block")
Advanced Colour (ADV_COL)
The ADV_COL opon provides a
comprehensive set of tools for colour
gamut analysis.
The type and format of signals that
can be analysed is determined by the
VIDEO_12G and VIDEO 4K opons.
• BT.709 & BT.2020 CIE Charts (See "SDI Outputs Block")
• SMPTE, EBU, DCI, BT.709 and BT.2020 Primaries (See "DisplayPort Output Timing")
• Filtering and visualisaon controls (See "DisplayPort Output Timing")
• Black body curve display (See "DisplayPort Output Timing")
• Histograms (see "Display Port Output Format")

High Dynamic Range Support (VIDEO_HDR)
The VIDEO_HDR Opon allows the
dynamic range of the video image
to be displayed on the Picture le as
false colours represenng areas of the
image that may be outside the viewable
dynamic range of the monitor itself.
The false colour display can show area
within SDR and those with HDR for the
chosen colour space and data range.
This HDR opon provides the following:
• O-Zone™ false colour display of dynamic range for all video formats (See Picture - "SDI Output
Format")
• M-HDRZone, C-HDRZone, M-HDRFull, C-HDRFull and SDR-Zone false colour displays (See
Picture - "SDI Output Format")
• Support for SMPTE, EBU, Rec. 709, DCI and Rec. 2020 Primary colour space input (See "SDI
Inputs Control Panel")
• Support for SMPTE and Full range input (See "SDI Inputs Control Panel"))
• Support for mixed SDR and HDR images (See "SDI Inputs Control Panel")
• Support for 2.2 Gamma, PQ EOTF and HLG EOTF proles (See "SDI Inputs Control Panel")
• SDI Output colour space selecon supporng SMPTE, EBU, Rec. 709, DCI, Rec. 2020, S
Gamut, S Gamut3 and S Gamut3 Cine (See "SDI Outputs Block")
• HDR Staircase test paern with dynamic levels set by SDI output prole.
12G-SDI Input Support (VIDEO_12G)
The VIDEO_12G opon provides input and instrument support for 12G-SDI signals up to 4K p60.

User Interface
Power On
The unit is turned on using the front panel buon. When pressed the surround will turn green to
indicate that the unit is on and aer about 30 seconds the user interface should appear on the local
interface screen (HDMI by default). The unit's web server will also start up to allow the unit to be
controlled using a web browser.
Power Button
Local User Interface
The Ultra 4K XR can be controlled locally using the HDMI output and a mouse/keyboard connected
directly to the rear of the unit.
The local interface provides full resoluon images, waveforms and real me display updates.
On power-up the Ultra will automacally route the user interface to any connected HDMI monitor. A
conrmaon box is displayed to allow this connecon link to be made in the Connecons menu.
Note that all Viewer les are available at full resoluon on the local user interface and where
applicable are available via web browser at low resoluon and lower refresh rate.
Web-browser User Interface
The Ultra 4K XR can be controlled via a web browser such as Chrome, FireFox or Internet Explorer.
The web-browser interface provides browser resoluon images, waveforms and the display is updated
every few seconds. Some funconality is not available on the web-browser interface and this is
indicated in this document.
The web server within the Ultra 4K Tool Box can be accessed via a network by entering the unit's IP
address or “Machine Host Name” into the browser address eld.
Units are factory congured to acquire an IP address from the network it is connected to using DHCP
but can be congured to use a stac IP address.
On power-up the Ultra will automacally route the user interface to any connected HDMI monitor.
Selecng the “Conguraon” menu from the user interface will display the current network IP Address
and the unit’s unique “Machine Host Name”.
See the "Web Browser Control" secon in the Installaon chapter for details about how to
locate the unit on the network.
