Data Sheet
Simultaneous display, virtually two instruments in one.
Full-featured Simultaneous Input Monitoring Boost
Versatility
The Simultaneous Input Monitoring (SIM) capability of the WVR8300 takes
multiformat monitoring to a new level. This capability helps operatio
quickly determine if a video quality problem existed in the input signal or
arose in their facility. It enables engineering staff to quickly detect, diagnose,
and resolve technical problems introduced in a piece of video equipment
by comparing the input and output signals at each point in the chain. This
feature is also especially helpful when checking for transparency during
format conversion.
FlexVu™ enables flexible and intuitive configuration of displays from two
monitored inputs. User can display simultaneous fault detection, status
reporting, alarm generation, and error log ging. SIM is ideal for transmission
monitoring of simultaneous HD and SD programs. It is also ideal for
monitoring stereoscopic 3D content in production and post production
applications by simultaneously monitoring the L eft Eye signal and the Right
Eye signal.
SyncVu™ is used in conjunction with SIM mode for 3D applications when
input A is used for the Left Eye and input B is used for the Right Eye. When
SyncVu is enabled the Left and Right tile displays are synchronized so that if
a Picture Tile is selected for Tile 1, automatically Tile 2 displays a Picture
Tile in exactly the same mode as Tile 1. This enables the user to quickly
ure the instrument identically for Left and Right Eye 3D monitoring.
