Overview
​
FMEDA objects are most commonly mapped to design instances. For parts and subparts instance boundaries are always sufficient, but for FM mapping there are cases where module boundaries don’t exist or don’t provide the right level of precision:
-
When a leaf instance doesn’t provide enough resolution – as created by the designer.
-
When a leaf instance doesn’t provide enough resolution – when created by synthesis by flattening a design hierarchy.
-
When an instance is not a leaf, but more resolution is needed for its own (sparse) logic (less common).
In such cases the safety engineer is interested in performing an analysis on design instances to extract elementary functions from the design logic. These are extracted based on selecting points on the design when server as functionality end points or design constraint, and then performing a “cone of logic” analysis.
Avid | TD Control GUI
UX and UI design (GUI) of Avid’s display control and management solution for broadcast environments, TD Control. TD Control provides easy to use, multi-display control from a single touch UI. Using TD Control, the displays can be assigned rich media, including 3D real-time graphics, live videos, multiple video clips, and images.
Challenges
The UI of the TD Control can be operated through a small Windows-based tablet, controlling several much larger studio displays. One of our main challenges when designing the UI was creating an environment that allows the user to engage with several large elements on a relatively small touch screen.
Wireframes
As large studio displays are increasingly used in the broadcast environment, there is a need for an efficient and easy to use solution for delivering and controlling compelling video and graphical content in multiple resolutions and display formats.
User Interface Design
TD Control is equipped with sleek, touch screen UI which allows the operator to control and trigger presets for each video display easily. The tabs design allocates the working area according to the production needs and allows different areas of production to be controlled separately, or if needed, all together, using its multi-tab control. The multi-tab control enables the operator to manage and trigger multiple devices simultaneously.
