Preface
Preface
This manual describes installation and operation of the WVR6100, WVR7000, and WVR7100 Waveform Rasterizers. These
instruments rasterize serial digital video and composite video signals (depending on installed options) for an XGA display,
providing a new standard of display quality and flexibility. Basic operations and concepts are presented in this manual. For
more detailed information, see the online help on your waveform rasterizer.
NOTE. This manual supports and describes the WVR7100 and WVR6100 rasterizers that were shipped with
System-software version 2 and later. For earlier rasterizers that shipped with version 1 of the audio hardware, you can
upgrade your instruments to the newer software v ersion. However, the new software version only supports the old audio
hardware with the original functionality with which it was shipped. You must upgrade to the new audio hardware to obtain
the new audio capabilities.
Yo u should use this manual with earlier rasterizers only if you have upgraded to version 2 o f the System software, and then
either upgraded to a new audio hardware or have no audio option installed. Otherwise, use the earlier version of the manual
that shipped with your rasterizer.
Key Features
The WVR6100, WVR7000, and WVR7100 use digital processing to ensure accurate, stable, and repeatable measurements,
and to provide a powerful monitoring solution for broadcasting, production, and post-production environments. The W VR7000
and WVR710
The instruments can be ordered with various options that enable additional monitoring capabilities. (See page 2, Options.)
0 base instruments monitor HD SDI inputs only; the WVR6100 base instrument monitors SD SDI inputs only.
Key WVR6100, WVR7000, and WVR7100 features include:
FlexVu, a four-tiled, high-resolution, XGA display that enables you to quickly check the integrity of the signal, can present
four views of the signal simultaneously to monitor many aspects of the signal at the same time.
A menu-driven user interface that requires fewer keystrokes for the most common operations and five instrument Presets

Installation
This section provides instructions for installing the waveform rasterizer into a standard instrumentation rack for both the
standard configuration and when configured with the remote front panel option. At installation time, save the shipping carton
and packing materials (including the anti-static bag) in case you need to ship the instrument.
Rackmount Installation
The waveform rasterizer ships with hardware
for rackmounting and fits in a standard
19-inch rack. Requirements of the rack
follow:
Spacing between the front rails must be
at least 17-¾ inches.
Front-to-rear rail spacing must be
between 15-½ and 28 inches.
Six inches of clearance between the
instrument rear panel and any rear
cabinet panel for connector space and to
provide adequate air circulation.
Instrument dimensions are shown at
right.

Rack Adjustments
If, after installation, the slide tracks bind, adjust the tracks as follows.
1. Slide the instrument out about 10 inches,
slightly loosen the screws holding the
tracks to the front rails, and allow the
tracks to seek an unbound position.
2. Retighten the screws and check the
tracks for smooth operation by sliding the
instrument in and out of the rack several
times.

To Connect Power and Powering On/Off
The waveform rasterizer 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.
AC Power Requirements
The waveform rasterizer 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. (See page 1, International Power Plugs.) The typical power draw is 50 W.
Refer to the S
and environmental requirements.
Connect the supplied power cord to the rear-panel power connector. There is no power switch on the waveform rasterizer, so
the instrument will turn on as soon as you apply power.

Installation
To Install i
The waveform rasterizer can operate almost anywhere in the distribution system due to its high impedance, bridging, and
loop-through inputs. This section describes two types of connections and presents information on line termination. The
following diagrams are for serial digital systems, but similar connections are common for the analog composite inputs
on the waveform rasterizer.

1. Connect your serial sources through a

2. Connect the output of the serial router to

3. Connect the other SDI loop-through
input to the patch panel to jumper the
signal that you want to compare to signal
connected in step 2.
Line Termination
The waveform rasterizer uses passive loop-through, serial and analog video inputs. Accordingly, the loop-through input
must be terminated externally. The passive loop-through capability of the inputs provides the benefit of a signal path that
is uninterrupted by input selection, power interruption, and even most internal faults. In addition, the waveform rasterizer
directly monitors the actual signal traveling to downstream equipment rather than providing a retransmitted signal or
requiring a duplicate input signal.
The loop-through capability is especially useful with the EYE and PHY options because it allows inspection of the actual
signal on the cable. However, the signal received by the waveform rasterizer is also dependent on the quality of the
downstream cabling and termination. Terminations with poor high frequency characteristics, 50 Ω BNC barrels, patch panel
bulkhead feed-throughs, and other poor cabling practices cause reflections, which can result in excessive eye closure, jitter
above 100 kHz, data errors, and even loss of lock at the waveform rasterizer.

How to Operate
Getting Acquainted
The waveform rasterizer uses a flexible, tiled display. The waveform rasterizer can display four tiles at one time. Each tile
can display a different measurement, effectively creating four independent instruments. To enable the tiles to function
independently, most of the controls only affect one tile at a time.
To Control the Display
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.

configured by front-panel buttons or by a pop-up menu, it is tile specific. (Exceptions are the Input buttons, and all audio
