Getting Started

Product Description

This section contains a list of accessories, an installation procedure, and a functional check to verify the primary functions of your waveform monitor. For instrument specifications, refer to the WFM700 Series Technical Reference document on the CD-ROM.

The WFM700 waveform monitor is designed to meet the multi-format monitoring and measurement needs of digital video for program production, post-production, and transmission. The waveform monitor has three base models:

H WFM700HD. Monitors high-definition (SMPTE 292M) video.

H WFM700A. Monitors standard-definition (ITU--R BT.601) and high-defini-

tion (SMPTE 292M) video.

H WFM700M. Measurement instrument for standard-definition

(ITU--R BT.601), high-definition (SMPTE 292M), and hybrid serial digital operations.

Each waveform monitor includes:

H One external reference module

H One video module (with two inputs)

At the time of purchase or at a later date, you can add an additional video module and/or the Option DG audio module to any of the three base-model waveform monitors.

Installation and Power On

This section contains information about installing and powering on the waveform monitor. Instructions for performing firmware upgrades are located in the WFM700 Series Technical Reference document on the CD-ROM.

Hardware Installation

NOTE. Instructions for installing or removing the waveform monitor from a cabinet, and for adding or removing a module from the instrument are located in the WFM700 Series Technical Reference document on the CD-ROM.

The waveform monitor is shipped in a wrap-around chassis that covers the instrument bottom and two sides. A cover is installed on the chassis, and the rear panel is made up of the module rear panels.

You can operate the waveform monitor in the instrument chassis (be sure the cover is on) or installed in an approved portable cabinet or rack adapter. You can also install the waveform monitor in a custom installation, such as a console.

CAUTION. Do not install the waveform monitor in any cabinet except those that are listed in Optional Accessories on page 1--4. Attempting to do so can damage the waveform monitor and the cabinet.

If you install the waveform monitor in a custom application, such as a console, be sure to provide adequate airflow. Follow these guidelines:

H Do not block the ventilating holes.

H Adhere to the clearance requirements that are listed in the specification tables

of the WFM700 Series Technical Reference document on the CD-ROM.

CAUTION. Failure to provide adequate airflow to the waveform monitor could cause the instrument to shut down (refer to Table 2--2 on page 2--3 for LED fault codes). If the airflow is blocked and the instrument does not shut down, the instrument could be seriously damaged.

WFM700 Series Waveform Monitors User Manual

Installation and Power On

Connecting Power

The waveform monitor operates from a single-phase power source with the neutral conductor at or near earth ground. The line conductor is fused for over-current protection. A protective ground connection through the grounding conductor in the power cord is essential for safe operation.

WARNING. To avoid serious personal injury from electric shock, do not operate the instrument with the cover removed. When power is supplied via the power cord, line voltage will be present inside the waveform monitor, even if the unit is in standby mode.

AC Power Requirements

Powering On the

Instrument

The waveform monitor operates from an AC line frequency of 50 or 60 Hz, over the range of 100--240 Volts, without the need for configuration, except the power cord. Refer to page 1--2 for the power cord options.

The typical power consumption is 100 W with one video module installed and 125 W with two video modules installed. Power consumption increases by a negligible amount when there is an Option DG audio module installed. Refer to the product specification tables in the WFM700 Series Technical Reference document on the CD-ROM for additional information on power and environmental requirements.

CAUTION. Use only power cords that are approved for the country of use. Using non-approved power cords could result in fire or shock hazard.

Follow these steps to power on the waveform monitor:

1. Plug the supplied power cord (IEC 320) into the back of the instrument. Refer to page 1--2 for a list of power cord options.

2. Plug the other end of the power cord into a standard wall outlet.

Functional Overview

Power

Video inputs The waveform monitor provides the following video input connectors:

Audio inputs / outputs (Option DG only)

This instrument is intended to operate from a single-phase power source with one current-carrying conductor at or near earth ground (the neutral conductor). Only the Line conductor is fused for over-current protection. The fuse is internal, on the Power circuit board. Systems that have both current-carrying conductors live with respect to ground (such as phase-to-phase in multiphase systems) are not recommended as power sources. Mains frequency is 50 or 60 Hz. Operating voltage range is continuous from 100 to 240 VAC, ±10%.

NOTE: Input A and Input B are separate signal inputs and cannot be used as a loop-through signal path.

INPUT A and INPUT B. Digital, 75 Ω terminating input for signal to be monitored. For WFM700HD, this can only accept 1.485 Gb/s High Definition serial video. For the WFM700A and WFM700M, this input can accept HD and 270 Mb/s Standard Definition video.

REF IN LOOP-THROUGH. Compensated for 75 Ω impedance; requires proper termination at one end of the loop-through connector or at the receiver in a monitored system. Provides for connection of an external synchronization signal such as black burst or composite video.

AUX IN. Future capability.

When your instrument has the optional WFM7DG audio module installed, the waveform monitor provides BNC connectors that function either as inputs for external AES/EBU audio (not necessarily associated with any video) or as outputs of the de-embedded AES audio associated with the selected video input. Use the Audio Inputs/Outputs submenu of the Configure menu to configure these connectors.

Connector(s) Description

Multi-pin connectors

Coaxial Outputs

The waveform monitor provides the following multi-pin connectors:

VGA PIX MON. A copy of the PIX G/Y, B/Pb, R/Pr pix mon outputs. This al lows using an inexpensive VGA monitor for non-critical HD applications. Most computer monitors will not lock to 50 Hz vertical rates or to Standard Definition line rates, so this may not work in all applications.

EXT VGA. Provides an exact copy of the instrument display to drive an external monitor.

REMOTE. 9-pin subminiature D-type connector used as a Ground Closure interface for remote control.

ETHERNET. (10/100 Base T). 10/100 Mbit/sec Ethernet interface. Used for for web-based remote control of the instrument and for downloading firmware upgrades.

The waveform monitor provides the following coaxial outputs:

PIX G/Y, B/Pb, R/Pr. Provides three 75 Ω component signal outputs to drive a component picture monitor. You can set the output format to YPbPr or RGB. Out of gamut input signals cause the affected areas to be highlighted on the monitor display. This gam ut error highlight or “bright-up” signal is controlled in the Configure menu.

SD PIX MON. This output is a copy of the PIX G/Y, B/Pb, R/Pr pix mon output, but i s reclocked i n SD serial digital format. It is operational only for SD format input signals, and only while the SD signal is being displayed on the screen of the waveform monitor. In addition, there is no signal output from this connector on a module while an input signal from a second module is being displayed on the screen.

SERIAL OUT. Provides a version of the selected signal input (Video Input A or B). There is no signal output from this connector on a module while an input signal from a second module is being displayed on the screen.

JITTER OUT. (WFM700M only) Provides a 75 Ω output signal from the jitter demodulator. This signal is only valid when the instrument is in Jitter mode. Any signal present on this output at other times is not a calibrated jitter signal. The jitter filter selection does not affect this signal.

2- 10

This signal is used as an input to an oscilloscope or spectrum analyzer to do additional analysis on the jitter. You can view the same jitter waveform on the waveform monitor using the Jitter display mode.
