Top Reliability on Physical Layer Measurements

Tektronix is the technological leader for Eye/Jitter measurement solutions.

Options EYE and PHY provide unique capabilities such as reporting jitter levels above 1 UI and jitter filters from 10 Hz to 100 kHz.

An easy-to-interpret gauge provides direct readout for jitter measurements. The user can configure timing and alignment readouts to be displayed simultaneously to effectively isolate the sources of jitter.

The SDI signal status display summarizes key signal parameters such as signal strength, cable loss and estimated cable length measurements.

Additionally, Option PHY provides Tektronix’ exclusive jitter waveform displays to view the jitter related to line and field rates. This option automatically measures eye amplitude, rise/fall time and overshoot/undershoot.

With FlexVu™, you can simultaneously display timing and alignment jitter values, cable parameter measurements and display different Eye Patterns to help quickly diagnose and resolve problems related to SDI timing jitter or cable attenuation.

Simultaneous Input Display Boosts Monitoring Versatility

Option SIM takes multiformat monitoring to a new level.

This capability helps operational staff quickly determine if a video quality problem existed in the input signal or arose in their facility. It lets engineering staffs quickly detect, diagnose and resolve technical problems introduced by a piece of video equipment by quickly comparing the input and output signals at each point of a chain.

This feature is especially helpful when checking for transparency during format conversion or for comparison of simulcast HD and SD programs.

FlexVu™ enables flexible and intuitive configuration of displays from two monitored inputs.

With WVR7120 Option SIM, you can display simultaneous fault detection, status reporting, alarm generation and error logging.

The patented Tektronix Timing display can be used for each source to time each input relative to the reference or measure the timing between each input.

Audio and video signals can be displayed independently for each input.

Monitoring of Auxiliary Data

New tools to monitor ancillary data are now available on the WVR6020, WVR7020 and WVR7120 instruments.

With FlexVu each tile can display different CEA608/708 closed caption and individual etext subtitles or pages. The Auxiliary Data Display decodes ancillary data such as Active Format Description （ARIB information and aspect ratio that can be monitored using Active Format Descriptor, Video Index or WSS） and ARIB information.

Aux Data Status provide summary information on a variety of metadata such as Closed Caption CEA608 or CEA708, Broadcast Flag/CGMS, etext, ARIB, Time Code, Active Format Description （AFD）, Video Index aspect ratio and Wide Screen Signaling.

Today there is a wide variety of metadata providing information to various equipment through the processing chain. Monitoring of this metadata is critical to ensure that the processing equipment correctly handles the signal. For instance, correct format of the AFD ensures that the aspect ratio on the display is correctly formatted and automatic graticule display is available for the picture display of the waveform monitor along with the binary data and text description.

Option DDE enables the display of VANC Dolby in Dolby Status display.

CaptureVu™, standard on WVR7120, captures the data of a video frame to recreate any trace display and analyze its digital structure. Captured data can be downloaded through the Ethernet port, using a Web browser.

Facility Timing Made Easy

Audio/Video synchronization is an important challenge in the processing of video materials.

Option AVD displays the A/V delay on a graphical bar indicator. The measurement readout gives facility engineers the tool to insure system integrity and facilitate A/V delay compliance.

This option provides out-of-service measurement of A/V delay for analog or digital audio and video formats.

A TG700 is typically used/required to generate the SDI signal which contains the audio and video sequence that can be distributed through the system and measured by the waveform monitor.

The patented Tektronix Timing display makes facility timing easy through a simple graphical representation which shows the relative timing of the input signal and reference signal on an X-Y axis.

The Lightning display shows luma and chroma amplitudes and helps you verify component timing using a color bar header signal. The SCH Phase display helps quickly verify the relationship of the subcarrier to H sync. composite analog video signals.

Remote Interfaces Facilitate Centralized Monitoring

The WVR Series instruments can be remoy accessed and controlled through a remote front panel, Web interface, Ground Closures and SNMP, helping users to integrate these instruments into a variety of remote monitoring applications.

The remote front panel, WVRRFP, with the same user interface as the front panel on the instrument, allows operators to access and control the base unit from a distance of up to 100 feet.

Users can control the WVR from the base unit and from the remote front panel simultaneously.

Through the Ethernet port, users have full control of the monitoring functions and download the alarm log and for detailed analysis or record keeping. This feature allows users to control an unlimited number of WVR instruments from a single Windows computer through a Web browser.

The SNMP interface allows easy integration with network management software and advanced remote operation through a MIB browser. For applications in design and manufacturing or master control, this capability also enables automated tasks managed by an SNMP script.
