Simultaneous display, virtually two instruments in one.
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

3D Measurement and Monitoring
The 3D measurements and displays are standard on the WVR8300 and
available as Option 3D on the WVR8200. A 3D image is comprised of a Left
Eye a nd Right Eye view feed as two separate HD-SDI signals or combined
within a 3G Level B format. Within the instrument a variety of different
3D monitoring modes are available to assist the user in determining the
ce between the Left Eye and Right Eye views. From this disparity

within the image can be determined.
For monitoring purposes a variety of displays can be set up within the

Difference Map Display – A subtraction of the two luma video signals L-R
or R-L to
produce a grayscale difference map image to see the difference
between left and right images.
Red/Cyan Anaglyph Display – T he left image is shown in red and the

Lightning displays simplify timing tasks.
Facility Timing Made Easy
Audio/Video synchronization is an important challenge in the processing of
video materials. The WVR8300 displays the A/V delay on a graphical bar
indicator. The measurement readout gives facility engineers the necessary
tools to ensure system integrity and facilitate A/V delay compliance. This
feature provides out-of-service measurement of A/V delay for analog or
audio and video formats. A TG700 is required to generate the SDI
digital
signal which contains the audio and video sequ ence that can be distributed
through the system and measured by the WVR8300.
The Tektronix-patented Timing display makes facility timing easy through
a simple graphical representation which shows the relative timing of the
input signal and the reference signal (or a saved offset reference) on an X-Y
axis. When in SIM mode the Timing display can be used to time each input
relative to the reference or measure the timing between each input.
The Lightning display shows luma and chroma amplitudes and helps users
verify component timing using a color bar signal. The Tektronix-patented
display (standard on both the WVR83 00 and WVR8200)

Using a special Bowtie test signal in component format, this display helps

24 bit for analog to AES. For AES to AES loopthrough,
output format equals input format. Meets requirements
of SMPTE 276M-1995 (AES 3-ID). For decoded Dolby
Digital, output is 24 bits at a rate of 32, 44.1, or 48 kHz
for any one decoded pair. For decoded Dolby E, the
output is 24 bits at 48 kHz or 47.952 kHz for up to four
pairs
