Theory of Operation
Theory of Operation
This discussion provides an overview of the HDVG1 Generator module. For
information about the TG2000 Platform mainframe, refer to the TG2000 SignalGeneration Platform Service Manual.
The HDVG1 Generator module is a 10-bit precision, digital video test signal
generator for HDTV digital signals. Output signal data is stored in fast access
memory (Line Memory) which has been loaded from the NVRAM over the CPU
bus. An overlay data modifier (which is actually an integral part of the fast
access memory) inserts data from the overlay memory into the fast access
memory data stream to create circular patterns, cursors, text characters, and logo.
For HDTV signal generation, Cb and Cr data are multiplexed in the data memory
and then further multiplexed with the Y data to produce the HDTV formatting.
The multiplex switching causes the data mux to output the data sequence in the
following form: Y--Cb--Y--Cr.
The Audio Coprocessor adds embedded audio data.
The coprocessor output containing all the added data is serialized for the module
serial output. There are three serial outputs.

The HDVG1 module uses two levels of memory to generate signals in real time
(See Figure 3--2). Each level of memory puts constraints on the maximum
complexity of a signal that can be generated.
The Line Memory holds the actual sample points which define the signal. The
Line holds approximately 1M samples for Y, 512K samples for Cb, and 512K
samples for Cr (1048576 samples total). The equation to determine the maximum number of unique video lines that can be stored in the Line Memory is as
follows:
HDVG1 HDTV Digital Video Generator Service Manual
Theory of Operation
1048576 samples / # of samples per line = # of unique video lines
1080I1048576 samples / 2200 per line = 476 unique video lines.......
720P1048576 samples / 1650 per line = 632 unique video lines........
The Frame Memory contains a series of pointers which control the order in
which the video lines that are stored in Line Memory are used to produce HDTV
signals. The maximum number of pointers is 174762. The equation to determine
the maximum length (in seconds) of a video sequence is:
Line length × 174762 = maximum sequence length (in seconds)
NOTE. The limit on number of unique video lines means that HDVG1 Generator
module cannot generate an arbitrarily complex full frame image (i.e., it cannot
replicate a captured video image). The lines consumed by the logo are not
included in the unique line counts, nor are the lines consumed by overlaid text.

Troubleshooting Procedures
General Troubleshooting
This section contains general troubleshooting instructions and procedures to use
when you begin to troubleshoot suspected faults with the HDVG1 Generator
module.
Signal Backup
Saving the Console Ring
File to Disk
Before you begin any troubleshooting procedures, perform Signal Backup and
Logo Backup on page 2--8. After the problem is solved, restore instrument
signals from the backup disks.
CAUTION. T o prevent data loss, back up the instrument before you begin any
troubleshooting procedures.
The TG2000 Platform mainframe displays module diagnostic information
during instrument power up. Any error messages are written to an internal file
called the console ring file. Tektronix technicians can use the information in the
console ring file to help troubleshoot a malfunctioning module.
NOTE. Write the console ring file to disk before performing troubleshooting to
prevent the troubleshooting routines from overwriting the console ring file.
Write the file as follows:
1. Load the Troubleshooting disk (supplied with the TG2000 Signal Generation
Platform Service Manual) into the floppy drive. Press the front-panel
Sequences button.
5- 10
2. Touch File Utilities, and then touch Add Sequences from Disk.
3. Select the consbak.seq sequence file and then touch Start Load.
4. Touch OK, Quit,andthenQuit again.
5. Touch Sequences and then select the consbak.seq file to run (use the Select
key).
6. Touch Run. Insert a blank disk when prompted, and touch Quit. Label this
disk #1.
7. Turn the i nstrument off and then back on from the front panel. Wait until the
instrument has completed its power up process.
8. Write the console ring file to disk again, using a different disk. Label this
disk #2.
