With PIXERA version 25.1, the content that is installed by default is replaced.
It now contains four clips of different AVSTUMPFL offices locations as well as an Audio Sync Video.
NOTE
If an old show file is loaded in 25.1, the old standard content is also loaded in the resources.
If a new showfile is created in 25.1, the new standard content is loaded in the resources.
A new showfile can either be created via the HUB or within PIXERA itself.
The standard content is located on the C-drive in the hidden folder “ProgramData”:
C:\ProgramData\AV Stumpfl\Pixera\standard_content
Customized Standard Content
In many cases, operators want to have their own test patterns or company logos included as standard content in Pixera.
There are two different options for this in the settings.
User Standard Content Directory
It is possible to define your own folder on the system as the standard content folder.
Load All Files From Default Directory
By default, all files except for the standard content in the standard content folder as described above are ignored and only the new content from 25.1 is displayed.
By activating this checkbox, this filter is deactivated and all files in this folder are displayed - thus loading the old default content is still possible (if it was already installed by a Pixera version prior to 25.1 RC 16).
IMPORTANT NOTE
In both cases - “Use Standard Content Directory” or “Load All Files From Default Directory” it is needed to create a new project to apply the changed settings

Further Diagnostics Tools
On-Screen Statistics
In addition to these Audio-Video Sync videos, PIXERA offers other diagnostic tools to analyze synchronization and playout performance.
One of these tools is the ‘On-Screen Statistics’, which can be switched on and off via CRTL+9 on the outputs.
Further information can be found in this article: On-Screen Statistic
Scan Lines Effect
The ‘Scan Lines’ effect allows you to place so-called scan lines over an existing video in PIXERA, which run from bottom left to top right.
These scan lines make it easy to determine whether tearing (asynchrony) is occurring.
