How to

install the

MPI monitor in a

dual rack cabinet

For the PRISM MPI monitor, there are two optional dual rack cabinets (19”, 3RU).

MPI-RACK-MM. Allows you to install one MPI monitor or two MPI monitors side-by-side. Each side of the cabinet front panel has two USB ports and a headphone jack for each MPI monitor.

MPI-RACK-MW. Allows you to install one MPI monitor or one MPI monitor in a side-by-side installation with a Tektronix WFM52x0, WFM7200, WFM8x00 waveform monitor. The left side of the cabinet front panel has two USB ports and a headphone jack for one MPI monitor.

For the PRISM MPX monitor, there is an optional 1RU full-rack kit that can be

used for either portable or rack mount applications.

MPX RACK. Allows you to install one PRISM 1RU full width MPX RACK. The MPX RACK rackmount kit includes the Rackmount Slides and Rails Kit Installation Instructions document (Tektronix part number 071-2746-xx).

The information on the following pages describes how to install the MPI monitor in one of the optional dual rack cabinets.

Dual

has speciﬁc cooling and clearance requirements. Ensure that the cleara nce requirements for proper airﬂow are met for both the dual rack cabinet and the instrument. See the PRISM MPI Installation and Safety Instructions for information about the environmental operating requirements for the instrument.

UTION. To prevent risk of ﬁre, adequate airﬂow to instrument(s) and rack

adapter must be maintained. Failure to provide a dequate airﬂow to instrument(s) could cause an instrument to shut down.

Inadequate airﬂow includes placing instrument(s) and rack adapter in any small, enclosed room that lacks a ventilation system, such as a closet. If the airﬂow is restricted or blocked and the instrument(s) do not shut down, the risk of ﬁre is increased and the instrument(s) could be permanently damaged.

In-bar warning messages

This instrumen warning messages that can appear above the bars as follows:

Clip. The number of consecutive samples equals or exceeds the # Samples for Clip setting.

Over. The signal is at or above the speciﬁed Over Level for a time exceeding the Duration for Over setting.

This instrument displays warning messages within the level meter bars. The warning messages that can appear are shown below in order of priority.

UNLOCKED. The instrument is not locked to an incoming signal on the indicated input channel. Data cannot be decoded and all data and other errors are ignored. This means that if an AES input is selected, nothing recognizable is present on the input, or if embedded audio is selected, the VIDEO input is unrecognizable.

AES PARITY. The incoming subframe does not have even parity as speciﬁed by the digital audio standards. The data sample is unreliable and is ignored. The level meters and Lissajous display treat the sample as a zero sample.

AES CRC ERROR. The CRC code in the AES channel status packet is incorrect. Sometimes the CRC code is set to zero, indicating that the signal is missing; when this is the case, this message is not displayed.

MUTE. The number of consecutive all-zero samples equals or exceeds the # Samples for Mute setting.

SILENCE. The s exceeding the Duration for Silence setting.

DISABLED. Indicates that an audio ba r is not active. This message is mainly seen with a Dolby Digital source when a listening mode is selected with a reduced number of channels.

AES V BIT. Indicates that the Validity bit is set high for one or more data samples. In the AES/EBU standard, a set validity bit indicates that the sample is not suitable for conversion to audio. By default, the level meter bars and Lissajous display treat the affected samples a

NO AUDIO. Indicates that an AES or embedded input has the Non audio bit s et.

NOT PRESENT. Indicates that an audio bar is not present in the current audio input. This can be present if a Dolby Digital input has a coding mode indicating a reduced number of channels.

DOLBY D. Indicates an AES or embedded input is DOLBY Digital.

DOLBY D+. Indicates an AES or embedded input is DOLBY Digital Plus.

Use cases for measuring

timing

e ST2022-6 streams are complete SDI signals encapsulated in IP, the

Sinc timing measurement treats these IP signals as if they were SDI. So the timing system detects the start of the IP frame, then extrapolates to the 0h point of the encapsulated SDI. Then using PTP as the reference, the ideal alignment point for that frame rate is calculated based on the PTP epoch. Finally the offset between the ST 2022-6 signal and the ideal alignment is displayed. The display shows both

solute time and the time parsed into lines or horizontal delay as time and pixels.

One use case for the Timing application is to measure the delay in a gateway and network. If a properly timed SDI signal is applied to a gateway, then the timing measurement on the resulting IP ﬂow will display the combined latency in the gateway and the network.

Another use case is to measure multiple signals and compare the relative timing. This was commonly done in SDI and Composite environments to enable timing adjustment of the various black signals in order to align the inputs to the production switcher.
