When measuring SDI signals, keep the following points in mind.
Measurement Conditions
Be sure to use a color bar signal when measuring jitter and SDI signal eye pattern amplitude.
When measuring the rise time (Tr), fall time (Tf), or eye pattern amplitude of a transmission
device’s output connector, use a high-quality 1-m 5C-FB or Belden 8281 cable.
Automatic Eye Pattern Measurement
The LV 58SER02 uses a histogram to automatically measure eye pattern amplitude, rise time
(Tr), and fall time (Tf). Also, the LV 58SER02 algorithms are optimized for reducing overshoot,
undershoot, and noise.
In automatic rise time (Tr) and fall time (Tf) measurement, the LV 58SER02 detects the points
where the eye pattern crosses the 20 % and 80 % levels of the amplitude and measures the
time difference.
1. INTRODUCTION
The difference between automatic and manual measurement is small when measuring a
relatively symmetrical waveform with no overshoot and undershoot and little noise. However,
the difference between the two methods can become quite pronounced if there is a high
degree of noise and jitter.
Because measured values are influenced greatly by the cable that is used, we recommend
that you use a high-quality, low-loss 5C-FB or Belden 8281 cable. Before measuring, be sure
to check the cable’s connectors to make sure that they are clean and in good condition.
Automatic Jitter Measurement
SMPTE defines two methods of measuring jitter. One method uses an eye pattern, and the
other method uses a phase modulator. LV 58SER02 automatic measurement uses the latter
method.
These two methods can produce different measured values.
The method of measuring jitter from an eye pattern waveform can only be used when the
amount of jitter is small, because in principle, measurement can only be carried out when the
eyes in the pattern are open. Another shortcoming is that measurement is prone to errors,
because it can be difficult to distinguish between jitter and waveform distortions such as noise
and sag.
On the other hand, the phase modulator measurement method does not suffer from the
shortcomings described above, and so is more suitable for making accurate measurements.
In automatic measurement, the LV 58SER02 averages measured values so that they do not
fluctuate minutely even when the jitter level does. The LV 58SER02 uses the optimum number
of values for averaging.

2.1General
The LV 58SER02 is an optional unit for displaying eye patterns. It can be inserted into an LV
5800 (MULTI MONITOR) input slot or installed in the LV 7800 (MULTI RASTERIZER) or LV
7380 (MULTI SDI RASTERIZER).
When the LV 58SER02 is installed in the LV 7380 or used with the LV 58SER01A (SDI INPUT),
it can display the eye patterns of SDI signals and measure their jitter. Also, when the LV
58SER02 is used with the LV 58SER04 (MPEG DECODER), it can display the eye patterns of
DVB-ASI signals.
2.2Features
•Supported Formats
Supports HD-SDI, SD-SDI, and DVB-ASI.
•Capable of Displaying Eye Patterns and Measuring Jitter for Six Different Signals
By using the LV 58SER02 with 3 input units and switching between input channels A and B,
you can display eye patterns and measure jitter for up to six different signals. *1, *2
•Eye Pattern Display
You can display the eye patterns of both timing jitter and alignment jitter by switching
filters.
•Jitter Measurement
Phase modulation jitter measurement allows you to accurately measure jitter even if an
eye pattern is closed. You can switch the jitter filter to measure timing jitter and alignment
jitter.
•Jitter Output
The detected jitter is output from the rear panel, and can be analyzed using a device such
as an FFT analyzer. *3
•Automatic Measurement
The LV 58SER02 can automatically measure eye pattern amplitude, rise time, and fall
time in the eye pattern display, and it can automatically measure timing jitter and
alignment jitter using the phase modulation method. In the jitter display, the LV 58SER02
can automatically measure timing jitter and alignment jitter.
•Simultaneous Multi-Screen Display
You can display eye pattern waveforms and jitter waveforms simultaneously on multiple
screens. *2
•Jitter Display Using Video Sweep
V rate and H rate sweep displays are available.
•Alarm Monitoring
In the eye pattern display, the LV 58SER02 can monitor the eye pattern amplitude, the
timing jitter, the alignment jitter, the rise time (Tr), the fall time (Tf), and the difference
between the rise time and the fall time (Tr-Tf). The LV 58SER02 will display an alarm when
these measured values exceed their specified threshold values.

7.1Automatic Measurement
Automatically measures the amplitude, the rise time, the fall time, and the amount of jitter of
the eye pattern.
• Procedure
EYE → set F•2 MODE to EYE → F•4 EYE SETUP→ F•1 AUTO MEASURE : ON / OFF
If automatic measurement is turned ON, the amplitude, the rise time (Tr), the fall time (Tf), and
the amount of jitter are displayed numerically for the current eye pattern on the screen.
The automatic measurement values of the eye pattern (Amp, Tr, and Tf) are determined
through image processing from the waveform data on the screen. This achieves correlation
with the values obtained by measuring the eye pattern using a cursor.
In addition, the automatic measurement values of the jitter (T.J and C.J) display the values that
are measured in the jitter display mode. The measurement method is phase modulator.
The timing jitter and current jitter values will not appear when the slot that contains the LV
58SER04 (MPEG DECODER) is selected.

7. SETUP AND MEASUREMENT ON THE EYE PATTERN DISPLAY MODE
• Procedure
•When a slot that contains the LV 58SER01A (SDI INPUT) is selected:
•When a slot that contains the LV 58SER04 (MPEG DECODER) is selected:
EYE → set F•2 MODE to EYE → F•4 EYE SETUP→ F•4 FILTER : 100kHz / 1kHz / 100Hz /
10Hz
If you select 10 Hz, the eye pattern jitter over the entire bandwidth greater than or equal to 10
Hz is displayed. Likewise, if you select 100 kHz, only the jitter over the bandwidth greater than
or equal to 100 kHz is displayed. The selected filter is displayed at the screen.
This setting enables you to determine the frequency components of the jitter of the SDI input
signal.
In addition, SMPTE stipulates that the timing jitter and alignment jitter be measured.
The filter setting for this case is 10 Hz if you select TIMING. If you select ALIGNMENT, the filter
setting changes automatically according to the input signal. It is 100 kHz for HD-SDI and 1 kHz
for SD-SDI.

Unit interval (UI) refers to the width of 1 clock cycle. The value is displayed where 1 clock
cycle is taken to be 100%. The unit is UIp-p.
If the bit rate of the HD-SDI signal is 1.485/1.001 Gbps, 1 UI is as follows:
1 UI = 1/1.4835 GHz = 674.1 ps
And, the measured jitter value (UIp-p) is as follows:
Jitter value (UIp-p)= measured value (ps)/width of 1 clock cycle (ps)
= measured value (ps)/674.1 (ps)
If the bit rate of the HD-SDI signal is 1.485 Gbps, 1 UI is as follows:
1 UI = 1/1.485 GHz = 673.4 ps
And, the measured jitter value (UIp-p) is as follows:
Jitter value (UIp-p)= measured value (ps)/width of 1 clock cycle (ps)
= measured value (ps)/673.4 (ps)
The SD-SDI and DVB-ASI signal bit rates are 270 Mbps. Therefore, 1 UI is as follows:
1 UI = 1/270 MHz = 3.7 ns
And, the measured jitter value (UIp-p) is as follows:
Jitter value (UIp-p)= measured value (ns)/width of 1 clock cycle (ns)

Measuring Amplitude (Amp) (On the LV 5800)
Perform the procedure below to measure the eye pattern amplitude (Amp) in volts.
1.Set F•2 XY SEL to Y.
2.Set F•3 Y UNIT to V.
3.Set F•4 FD VAR to REF, and align the blue cursor with one of the peaks of the eye

8.SETUP AND MEASUREMENT ON THE JITTER DISPLAY MODE
The jitter display mode is used to extract only the jitter components from the SDI signal using
phase modulation and display the result on the time axis. In this mode, jitters can be accurately
measured even if the eye pattern is not open after the signal is transmitted over a long cable or if
a jitter of more than 1 UIp-p is present.
Also, because the length of the horizontal axis is equal to one line or field of the video signal, you
can observe jitter that is synchronized with lines and fields.
Carry out the procedure below to display jitter setup menu for the jitter waveform.
*Jitter waveform display is not available for DVB-ASI signal input.
