2.3.1 Touch screen and OSD menu
The DIAMOND tester combines touch screen control and physical buttons. This combination
makes the tester very user friendly. The test meter allows you to move the function icons from
the tester’s main menu to the APPS folder or move them back to customize the main menu

Rapid ONVIF, search camera quickly, auto log in and display image from the camera,
2.3.5 IP camera test

Page.6.
The device is designed for ONVIF IP camera testing. It can display the image from an IP
camera and change the IP address.
With the ONVIF tool, you can display the image from an IP camera and use the PTZ functions.
Currently the IP camera tester supports more than 70 brands’ IP cameras, such as Vista, ACTi,
Dahua, Hikvision, Samsung, Honeywell and many more.

Displays an analogue camera image on the 7 inch 1280 x800 LCD screen display. Supports
PAL & NTSC formats. The LCD screen's back light brightness, video image brightness,
contrast and colour saturation are all adjustable.
2.3.7 Video level meter
Perform NTSC and PAL video amplitude signal measurements for PEAK to PEAK , SYNC
levels, and COLOUR BURST chroma level
Video signal PEAK to PEAK level:
For NTSC format, the video signal level is 140±15IRE
For PAL format, the video signal level is 1000±200mV
If the level is too low, it will cause the image to lose quality and limit the distance it will travel
over cable. If the level is too high, it will lead to wash out of the image
SYNC level: Testing the amplitude of the video sync pulse to verify if the video level is correct.
For NTSC format, the SYNC level is 40 ± 5IRE
For PAL format, the SYNC level is 300 ± 35mV
If the level is too low, it will cause the image to not frame out properly. If the level is too high, it
will lead to a poor quality

Page.7.
COLOUR BURST level: Testing the colour burst level will determine if the burst signal is
sufficient to trigger the displays colour producing circuit. Burst will diminish in amplitude over
longer cable runs and can get fall below the threshold for the video display to show a colour
image.
For NTSC format, the Chroma standard level is 40 IRE
For PAL format, the Chroma standard level is 280mV
If the Chroma level is too low, the colour will not be as deep, and some details of the image will
get washed out. If the Chroma level is too high, there will be spots on the image. If the coaxial
cable is too long, it will reduce the chroma level
2.3.8 PTZ controller
Displays and allows for analysis of analogue video and controls Pan/tilt/zoom function of PTZ
analogue cameras. For PTZ testing, setup the controlling parameters from the meter to match
those of the camera: e.g. PTZ protocol (PELCO-D, etc.), communication port (RS-485, etc.),
baud rate, PTZ camera ID and pan/tilt speed.
