A: Equipment Guide
Introduction
The OmniTek OTR 1001 is an extremely versatile instrument for video test and measurement.
The base instrument is an image analyzer, offering picture monitoring and waveform,
vectorscope, gamut and status displays. However, the OTR is offered with a wide range of
instrument options, some of which enhance the facilities it offers as an image analyzer while
other options add test signal generation facilities. Further options allow the OTR to be set up to
carry out picture quality assessments, a range of timing tests and physical layer measurements.
As an image analyzer, the OTR 1001 can provide high precision waveforms, vectorscope and
gamut displays; real-time picture monitoring; comprehensive SDI input status information; audio
monitoring capabilities; and transport layer analysis including eye-pattern and jitter displays.
(The options offered depend on the software options that are installed.)
As a test signal generator, the instrument can generate a wide range of standard test patterns and
zoneplates; play-out video images and sequences from disk (including 3D sequences), and add
gain, noise, bounce and audio tones to the resulting test signal (again depending on which
options are installed). It is also able to generate and add timecodes, WSS, video index and
SMPTE 352 codes.
The OTR also has the ability to freeze the screen display and to capture images from the
incoming video
The OTR 1001 is available in 1001c and 1001m versions. The OTR 1001c is designed to be
driven from the control panel on the front of the instrument but both the OTR 1001c and the
OTR 1001m may be driven using a mouse and keyboard. Most instrument features can be
selected using either method but there are some facilities that are only available when a mouse is
attached. For example, a mouse is needed to set up new screen layouts. However, once any
layout has been recorded as a preset, it can be called into use from the control panel –without
any need for a mouse.
In designing the system, we have given close consideration to our existing customers and made
the interface as familiar as possible to them, while also making it easy for users of other
manufacturers’ systems by designing it to follow a similar methodology.

Safety Statement
To avoid injury and prevent damage to the OTR or to any products connected to it, use this
product only as specified and take the following safety precautions. Where the OTR is being
used alongside other equipment, you must also ensure that you act in accordance with the advice
given in the documentation supplied with those other products.
Only use the power cord that is both specified for this product and certified 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 off the power to the unit if need be.
Keep all product surfaces clean and dry.
Ensure that the unit is properly ventilated.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere or in damp/wet conditions.
Do not operate the OTR 1001 with either the cover or any of the panels removed or
otherwise displaced from their standard positions.
Do not operate an OTR 1001 that has been damaged (or that you suspect has been
damaged).
When replacing the power supply fuse, only use a fuse of the specified type and rating.
When replacing the on-board battery, only use a battery of the specified type and rating.

Note:
Enhancing your system may involve adding extra software facilities or additional hardware or
occasionally both.
New hardware is generally supplied with instructions for fitting. The exception to this is where
an EYE_ option is added: in this case, the OTR system may need to be returned to have the
necessary hardware factory-fitted. (Your dealer will advise you on this.)
Extra software facilities are made available by providing an updated licence file, and again
instructions will be provided alongside the new licence file.
When installing new facilities, it is a good idea to check that you are using the most up-to-date
version of the software. How this is done is described in Section A.5. (Details of the version you
are currently using are given on the System page of the OTR’s Config window.)

A.2 Installation
The OTR 1001 is supplied with the software and any additional hardware that is required to support
the instrument options that have been purchased e.g. AES and Eye/Jitter cards already installed.
So after a couple of preliminary steps (see below), the job of installing the OTR 1001 is simply
one of locating the instrument where you want to use it and attaching the appropriate cables.
Preliminary steps:
Checking the Pack Contents
Alongside the OTR 1001 in the OTR 1001 pack, you should find:
Appropriate national power cord (UK/US/Europe/Australia)
USB Stick (in the mini-box)
Quick Start Guide Cards (in the mini-box)
Note: This list is subject to change. A packing list for the OTR you have bought is included in
the pack.
Before starting to install the OTR 1001 for use in your facility, check that you have received all
of items listed above. Note: Any additional boards that are required to support additional
application options you have purchased will be already installed in the OTR 1001.
We recommend saving the shipping carton and all packing materials in case you subsequently
need to ship the OTR 1001 anywhere.
Mounting in a rack
The OTR 1001 can be used mounted in a standard 19" rack.
Cabling
The remaining task therefore to make the appropriate connections for the task it is to perform.
The majority of these connections will be to the connectors on the back panel of the instrument,
which are detailed in the following diagram and table.

Adding the Graphics Display
The graphics output from the OTR 1001 can be displayed by plugging a DVI monitor or a VGA
monitor into the DVI-I Out connector on the back panel. Depending on the VGA monitor cable,
this can either be plugged in directly or via the VGA –DVI cable included with the OTR.
Note: A high-resolution computer monitor is needed when working with 3G video.
DVI-I Out
SDI IN1 SDI IN2 SDI OUT1 SDI OUT2 ANA OUT
Figure A-2: Rear view of an OTR 1001 showing the DVI-I Out connector and the Interface port.
Display Resolution
With a DVI monitor, the screen resolution is automatically set to the correct resolution for the
monitor. However, with some VGA monitors, the OTR is not able to set the optimum resolution
automatically and may even give no display at all.
The point at which this might cause a problem is either the very first time you use the OTR or
immediately after switching to a different monitor. If the screen resolution is poor or you don’t
get any display, follow the steps given in Appendix IV of this User Guide.
Adding Mouse and Keyboard
The OTR 1001 offers four USB ports through which a USB mouse, USB keyboard or combined
USB mouse and keyboard may be plugged in –two on the front panel and two on the back panel.
Devices plugged into any of these ports will be automatically recognised by the underlying
Windows system and immediately made available for use, with the standard mouse actions of
pointing and clicking having their usual effects.
