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.

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

3. Connect the other SDI loop-through
input to the patch panel to jumper the

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.

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.

Scope of Controls
Some controls are global and affect all tiles, while other controls only affect the active tile. Generally speaking, if a control is
configured by front-panel buttons or by a pop-up menu, it is tile specific. (Exceptions are the Input buttons, and all audio
features, both of which are global.) If control is configured by the CONFIG menu, selections are usually global.

Connecting Signals. When connecting audio signals to the Analog Input connectors, you can use either balanced or
unbalanced signals. If you connect unbalanced signals to the inputs, you should connect the unbalanced output hot lead to
the balanced input positive pin and the unbalanced cold lead to the balanced input negative pin.
When connecting the Analog Output connectors, you can connect them as balanced or unbalanced. However, if you connect
the balanced outputs to an unbalanced input, you must ground the unused lead. You can ground either lead, but using the
negative output and grounding the positive output will effectively invert the phase.
NOTE. Note that grounding the unused lead does not attenuate the output but it does halve the clipping level. Therefore,
you must attenuate the output by at least 6 dB to avoid clipping. The output signal level in unbalanced mode is double
the signal level in balanced mode.
Units that have both analog and digital capability can have AES or embedded inputs converted to analog and then routed to
the eight balanced outputs.

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 56, How to Monitor 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.

To Freeze the Display
Pushing the FREEZE button captures the current image for traces (waveform, gamut, and vector), picture, status, and audio
measurements, if selected. Freeze is useful for comparing sources or for capturing transient events. Press FREEZE to
capture a display you wish to keep or show to someone else. In this application, the Fr ozen Only display mode may be best.
For comparing sources, the Frozen + Live display mode is useful. To use this feature, select one source, press FREEZE to
capture an image, then select the second source and compare.
Not all displays react identically to freeze. WFM displays capture a trace. For text displays, such as Status, pressing
FREEZE halts updates to the display. T his allows you to view the different status displays without numbers or status readouts
changing. The waveform rasterizer continues to log error status in the background while the display is frozen.
FREEZE works in both tile and full-screen m odes, but frozen images do not change from tile to full or full to tile. That is, if
you freeze a trace in tile mode, the frozen image will not be shown if you go to full-screen mode. The frozen image will
still be available if you go back to tile mode. Likewise, if you freeze a Waveform image in a tile and then switch the tile to
another measurement such as Vector, the frozen wavefo rm image will be hidden. If you then change the tile back to
Waveform, the frozen image will reappear.
For waveform displays, the frozen image is shown in a different color to distinguish it from the live image.

Timing a studio involves adjusting the references going to different sources so that their output feeds have the same timing
when they arrive a common point, such as a production switcher. For digital systems, the timing typically only needs to be
close, because most switchers have some tolerance to timing errors. For analog composite systems, the timing may need to
be matched within a small part of a subcarrier cycle to prevent hue shifts when switching between sources.
The waveform rasterizer supports multiple methods and techniques of timing a studio. All of these methods require an
external reference to the waveform rasterizers. The methods and techniques follow.

To Use the Timing-Display Method
The Tektronix proprietary Timing Display (patent pending) provides a quicker, easier to use measure of the timing of an input
relative to the external reference:
The rectangular display automatically scales to match the input signal. For progressive signals the display represents
one field, for interlace signals the display represents one frame, and for composite inputs the display represents one
color frame.
The cross-hair in the center represents zero offset, and the circle represents the timing of the input signal. Lines of
advance or delay are shown as vertical displacement, while timing errors of less than one line are shown as horizontal
displacement. If the input is at the same time as the reference, then the circle will be centered on the cross-hair.
The timing offset is also shown numerically as lines and micro-seconds of advance or delay in the boxes at the right
side of the display.
For input and reference signals with closely related frame rates, there is only one timing relationship, so a single circle is
shown on the display to indicate the timing offset of the input signal.

Usage Notes
The resolution of the timing display for Composite and SD signals is one 27 MHz clock cycle or 37 ns. For HD signals, it
is one clock at 74.25 MHz, which equates to about 13.5 ns. To get the greater accuracy needed for a composite
signal, first use the timing display to get close, then use a vector display for the final burst phase alignment. Since the
waveform rasterizer can display both the timing display and a vector display simultaneously (each in its own tile), this
process can still be easy and quick.
For composite signals the definition of time aligned is obvious but for an SDI input relative to a analog reference the
situation is more complex. For the timing display, the definition of zero offset on an SDI input uses the methodology
described in SMPTE RP168. This method speci fies the SDI signal will be converted to analog. The converted analog
signal is then compared to the analog reference. For the conversion, a D/A converter w ith delay of about three
microseconds is used.
In the relative to rear panel mode, this three microsecond c onversion delay is accounted for in the displayed offset.
In the Relative to Saved Offset mode, it has no effect.

You cannot save the timing offset if either the input or reference is missing or unlocked. You also cannot save a reference when in internal mode.
Saving an offset in these conditions would lead to misleading results so it is not allowed by the instrument. A warning message will appear on
the screen if you attempt to save the offset when it is not allowed.
Usage Notes
The resolution of the timing display is one 27 MHz clock cycle or 37 ns, for Composite and SD video. To get the greater
accuracy needed for a composite signal, first use the timing display to get close, and then use a vector display for the
final burst phase alignment. Since these two displays can be present simultaneously in separate tiles, this process is
still easy and quick.
For composite signals, the definition of time aligned is straight forward, but for an SDI input relative to an analog
reference, the s ituation is more complex. For the timing display, the definition of zero offset on an SDI input assumes the
SDI signal will be converted to composite. The converted composite signal is then compared to the analog reference.
For the conversion, a half-band filter with a 33 clock-cycle delay and an analog reconstruction filter are assumed. This
conversion introduces a delay of about 3 µs.
In the Relative to: Rear Panel mode, this 3 µs conversion delay is removed from the measured offset before the display
is generated. In the Relative to: Saved Offset mode, it has no effect.
This timing relationship between input and reference is also compatible with the waveform mode. That is, if you have zero
timing on the Timing display and change from internal to external reference, the displayed waveform will not shift position.
When timing analog composite s ignals, adjust the system phase with the Vector display. The Vector display is described
in Timing Displays for Simple Versus Complex Timing in the Supplemental Operating Information chapter of the
WVR61000, WVR7000, and WVR7100 User Technical Reference.

NOTE. If you have an input and reference combination that requires m ultiple timing indicator circles, then it can be
misleading to c
ompare timing offsets between multiple inputs. Because the timing display chooses the smallest of the
possible timing offsets, if a large timing difference exists between two inputs, then they may not be matched. This problem
will also occur using traditional timing methods unless one uses something similar to the SMPTE318 10 field flag to identify a
specific sub-m
ultiple of the reference.

How to Monitor
With Options EYE and PHY (WVR6100 and WVR7100), the waveform rasterizer supports monitoring and measurement of
the SDI physical layer in the following ways:
Option EYE. If present, this option adds support for eye pattern monitoring of the physical layer of video signals.
WVR6100 instruments display eye patterns for only SD signals. WVR7100 instruments display eye patterns for HD
signals, and also for SD signals when Option SD is installed.
Option PHY. If present, this option includes the Option EYE features and adds automatic eye measurements and a
jitter waveform display to aid the moni toring of the SDI physical layer. WVR6100 instruments display jitter waveforms
for only SD signals. WVR7100 instruments display jitter waveforms for HD signals, and also for SD signals when
Option SD is installed.
With Options Eye and PHY installed, you can use the following display modes to monitor the SDI physical layer:
Eye Display. On this display, you can use the voltage and time measurement cursors and their readouts to monitor
amplitude and timing measurements on the Eye waveform. A jitter thermometer and readout displays the jitter
magnitude. You can set the high-pass filter to allow measurement of different jitter types (timing and alignment). The jitter
thermometer graphically relates the jitter measurement to the alarm limits. With Option PHY installed, you can use the
Eye press-and-hold menu to access the Jitter waveform display.
You can c o nfigure the instrument to show multiple Eye displays, each of which is controlled by one of the two jitter engines
in the waveform rasterizer. The Jitter1 engine controls Eye displays in the top two tiles. The Jitter2 engine controls Eye
displays in the bottom two tiles. The two jitter engines allows you to set different filter bandwidths in the upper and lower
tiles so that you can monitor both timing and alignment jitter at the same time.
the SDI Physical Layer
Jitter Display. On this display, you can view additional time-domain information that is useful in separating sources of
jitter, whether they are w ithin a single circuit on a circuit board, or from various pieces of equipment in a system. The
additional information includes the following:
Jitter components that are synchronous or nearly synchronous to video line or frame. These appear as stationary or
near-stationary artifacts in line or field sweeps.
The wave shape of the jitter as modified by the high-pass filter setting.
SDI Status Display. This display shows both the Jitter1 and Jitter2 thermometers described above. Additionally, a Cable
Loss thermometer indicates the signal loss due to cable length. Use the CONFIG menu to con figure the instrument for
the cable type and length of your installation. With Option PHY installed, the SDI Status Display also shows the eye
amplitude, eye risetime, eye falltime, and eye rise-fall delta measurement values.

NOTE. If you use the measurement cursors to measure the eye waveform, you may measure 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 oversh oot, 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.

To Take Jitter Measurements
After you c onfigure the instrument for Eye measurements, you can take jitter measurements using one of the following:
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.
Select the 10 Hz bandwidth filter to measure the total broadband jitter (use this setting if composite D/A conversion
is planned).
The simplest way is to measure jitter is to use the jitter readout. The jitter measurement readout and thermometer are
derived from the jitter waveform, even when displayed in an Eye display. Those same readouts are also shown in the
SDI Status display.
The Eye and Jitter waveform displays provide more qualitative jitter information. The Eye display shows the presence
and magnitude of the jitter, and its potential for causing data errors as the eye closes. The Jitter display provides added
time-domain information such as the following:
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).
The wave shape of the jitter.
By looking at jitter in both displays, you can separate the sources of jitter, whether they are within a single circuit on a circuit
board, or from various pieces of equipment in a system.
The following example shows the display of a signal with a lot of jitter. (See Figure 1 on page 69.) In the top two tiles, the
high-pass filter is set for 10 Hz, so 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.
In the example, the upper Eye display shows a fairly even jitter spread, suggesting a moderately uniform statistical
distribution of jitter. This jitter is from a sine wave component; there is no indication of jitter spikes. In the lower Eye display,
the jitter is more of a low-density haze suggesting a less uniform jitter distribution (as indicated from the spikes).

To Take Cabl
After you have configured the instrument for Eye measurements, you can take cable-loss measurements using the SDI
Status display.
NOTE. The Approx Cable (length) and Source Level readouts of the SDI Status display are derived from the m easured
Cable Loss and the specified Cable Type. The Source Level readout indicates the calculated signal amplitude at the signal
source, even w hen the signal level is greatly reduced at the waveform rasterizer due to cable loss. Therefore, the automatic
Eye Amplitude measurement (Option PHY only) may be significantly less than the indicated Source Level. The accuracy
of the Approx Cable (length) and Source Level readouts depend strongly on correctly setting the Cable Type, and on the
quality of the cable and connections in the signal path.

How to Monitor Audio
The waveform rasterizer provides several methods to monitor audio signals. You can measure levels, monitor phase, display
phase correlation, and monitor surround-sound audio. You can specify meter ballistics and scales, set the Test and Peak
Program indicator levels, and specify how phase is displayed.
NOTE. The audio monitoring features described in this chapter require that appropriate audio options are installed. (See
page 2, Options.) For example, Option DS adds support for only Digital audio monitoring in embedded and AES/EBU inputs,
while a Option AD equipped instrument can monitor both Analog and Digital audio in these inputs. Note that the options
listed with a prefix W VR6UP -- (for the WVR6100 options), WVR70UP-- (for the WVR7000 options), or WVR7UP-- (for the
WVR7100 options) support upgrades to previously purchased instruments.
For a list of the options that are installed on your product, press the CONFIG button. In the C ONFIG menu, select the Utilities
submenu. The View Instruments Options entry lists the installed options for your instrument.
