Instrument Display

This instrument uses FlexVu™, which is a ﬂexible, four-tiled display that can show four tiles at one time or a single, full-screen sized tile. Each tile can display a different measurement, effectively creating four independent instruments. In order to allow the tiles to function independently, most of the controls affect only one tile at a time.

1. To switch to tiled mode, toggle the FULL

button until it is unlit and there are four displays shown.

2. To select a tile to control, push one of the

numbered tile buttons.

Note that the button you select lights and that a light-blue outline surrounds the tile. Both the lit button and the light-blue outline indicate the active, selected tile. Tile 4 is shown selected here.

Measuring Audio/Video Delay

When the appropriate A/V Delay sequence is provided (from a Tektronix TG700 signal generator, for example), instruments with Option AVD provide measurement of audio/video delay with a numeric readout and graphical display.

Usage Tips

If you use other functions, such as Line Select, while cursors are active, the knob will be assigned to those other functions. Press CURSOR to transfer the knob control back to cursors.

You can display independent cursors in all four tiles at the same time.

Cursors track the live trace, so they may not be correctly registered on a frozen trace.

Cursors can be used with the Eye Display (Option EYE or PHY only) to measure electrical characteristics of an SDI signal. (See page 48, Monitoring the SDI Physical Layer.)

For cursor measurements, you can use any gain setting, including variable gain (the waveform and the cursors are equally affected). Higher gain settings help match the cursor to the waveform.

Capturing the Display

The Capture function allows you to capture images of a trace, picture, status, or audio measurement. There are two modes of capturing: be live, and the second mode freezes information in multiple displays. Both modes are useful for comparing sources or capturing transient events.

Freeze works in both four-tile and full-screen modes, but frozen images do not change from tile to full or full to tile. That is, if you fre available if you go back to tile mode. Likewise, if you capture a waveform image in a tile and then switch the tile to another measurement such as Vector, the captured waveform image will be hidden.

Checking Gamut

Checking Gamu

Signals that are legal and valid in one signal representation may not be legal in another representation. Speciﬁcally, signals which are legal in the Digital YCbCr representation may not be legal if transcoded to RGB or encoded to NTSC / PAL. Any signal that fails this test is considered out of gamut.

Your instrument supports multiple displays and alarms to detect out of gamut signals. The ﬂexible, tiled display allows you to simultaneously view several gamut measurements to learn which is most appropriate for a given application. The displays are and their uses follow:

Diamond for checking that SDI signals conform to legal RGB gamut space

Split Diamond separates the upper and lower diamonds to show excursions below black; otherwise it is identical to the Diamond display

Arrowhead for checking if an SDI signal is legal for composite color space

Composite Waveform modes for checking both SDI and composite signals for legality in composite color space

Diamond, Split Diamond, and Arrowhead have adjustable thresholds. If the signal goes outside the area deﬁned by the thresholds, the signal is out of gamut. If these limits are exceeded, then the instrument can generate alarms if conﬁgured to do so. For composite waveforms, the legal limit is simply the maximum level allowed for the combination of luma and chroma. This limit depends on the application. For example, a video tape machine may be able to record and play out signals with higher luma and chroma components than a transmitter.

Setup for Gamut Checks

1. Connect a video signal and terminate it

properly.

2. Select the input corresponding to the signal connected.

3. Select a tile.

The following procedures describe how to take manual measurements of the Eye waveform. If Option PHY is installed, the instrument can also take automatic eye measurements. (See page 57, Automatic Eye Measurements.)

NOTE. If you have Option P HY and you use the measurement cursors to manually measure the eye waveform, you

may get a different result than that shown in the automatic eye measurements readout. This is because the automatic amplitude measurement uses histograms in order to be minimally affected by overshoot, ringing, and noise on the signal. Similarly, the automatic risetime and falltime measurements use histograms to ﬁnd the centers of the distributions of 20% and 80% crossings. The difference between manual and automatic measurements is usually insigniﬁcant for clean, symmetrical signals.

Taking Jitter Measurements

This section explains the procedures for taking jitter measurements. After you have conﬁgured the instrument for Eye measurements, the instrument is also ready to take jitter measurements using one of the following displays:

Measurement cursors on the Eye display

SDI Status display

Jitter display (Option PHY only)

NOTE. Many jitter problems in systems have resulted from genlocking clocks to other references, such as the horizontal

synchronization pulse. Reference jitter transferred by genlocks into a serial system is typically between 20 and several hundred Hertz. Also, the phase detection process used by the genlock can add noise, which results in jitter in the 10 Hz to 1 kHz range. Use the appropriate BW Limit ﬁlter selection to include or reject genlock jitter from a measurement.

The simplest way to measure jitter is to use the jitter readout and jitter thermometer in the Eye display or SDI Status display. These are derived from the jitter waveform, even when shown in these displays. For more qualitative jitter information, use the Eye and Jitter displays to view the presence and magnitude of jitter and its potential for causing data errors as the eye closes. The Jitter display provides further analysis information including added time-domain information such as the wave shape of the jitter and whether there are jitter components that are synchronous or nearly synchronous to the video line or frame (these components appear as stationary or near-stationary artifacts in line or ﬁeld sweeps).

Monitoring the S

DI Physical Layer

Looking at jitter in both displays can help you separate jitter sources to determine whether they are within a single circuit on a circuit board or from various pieces of equipment in a system. If you are planning a composite D/A conversion, select the 10 Hz bandwidth ﬁlter to measure total broadband jitter.

Following is an example displaying a signal with a lot of jitter. (See Figure 3 on page 60.) In the top two tiles, the high-pass ﬁlter is set for 10 Hz so that all jitter above 10 Hz is displayed. In the lower two tiles, the high-pass ﬁlter is set for 100 Hz, removing most of the 30 Hz jitter and leaving the spikes. Both Jitter displays are set for two-ﬁeld sweep. The upper Eye display shows a fairly even jitter spread, which suggests a moderately uniform statistical distribution of jitter. This jitter is from a sine wave component. Notice that there is no indication of jitter spikes. In the lower Eye display, the jitter is of a low-density haze, which suggests a less uniform jitter distribution. This is indicated by the spikes.

NOTE. If you use the measurement

cursors to measure jitter, you may get a different result than that shown in the jitter thermometer for the following reasons:

2. Use the LINE SWEEP button to select the 3EYE mode, which shows peak jitter at each eye crossing.

Taking Cabl

After you have conﬁgured the instrument for Eye measurements, you can take cable loss measurements using the SDI Status display.

NOTE. The accuracy of the Approx Cable (length) and Source Lev el readouts depends strongly on correctly setting the

Cable Type and on the quality of the cable and connections in the signal path. These readouts are derived from the measured Cable Loss and the speciﬁed Cable Type. The Source Level readout of the SDI Status display indicates the calculated signal amplitude at the signal source, even when the signal level is greatly reduced at the instrument due to cable loss. Therefore, the automatic Eye Amplitude measurement (Option PHY only) may be signiﬁcantly less than the indicated Source Level.

Checking Audio Level & Phase

Level meters are vertical bar graphs on which the height of the bar indicates the amplitude of the audio program in the corresponding input channel. You can change the input and turn on and off the Phase display from the Audio pop-up menu. Other meter characteristics such as ballistics, scale units, and program and test levels are conﬁgured through the Conﬁguration menu.
