If the instrument is installed to monitor an operating link, the destination receiver and the connecting cable serve as the termination. This monitoring connection checks the performance of the entire path. The return loss of the instrument is sufﬁciently high that, in most cases, the destination receiver sets the system return loss.

Line Termination

Your instrument uses passive loop-through analog and reference inputs. Accordingly, the loopthrough inputs must be terminated externally. It is important that this external termination m eets accuracy and return loss requirements. Terminations for loop-throughs on SDI or reference connectors in end-of-link setups must be 75 Ω and DC coupled (good return loss extends to DC). An appropriate termination would be a 75 Ω End of Line terminator, Tektronix part number 011-0163-XX.

Rear-Panel Connectors

The following ﬁgure shows the rear panel.

Power Requirements W hen Using an AC Converter

A single-phase power source with one current-carrying conductor at or near earth-ground (the neutral conductor).

The power source frequency must be 50 or 60 Hz, and an operating voltage range must be from 100 to 240 VAC, continuous.

Systems with both current-carrying conductors live with respect to ground (such as phase-to-phase in multiphase systems) are not recommended as power sources.

Video Input Connectors

All SDI inputs are passive inputs compensated for 75 Ω and require termination.

1. Ref Loop. A synchronization input.

The input signal can be analog black burst, analog composite video, or analog tri-level for HD. Requires 75 Ω termination.

2. SDI A. The Digital A component serial

digital input is compensated for 75 Ω and requires termination.

Checking Gamut

Checking Gamu

Signals that are legal and valid in one signal representation may not be legal in another representation. Speci ﬁ cally, signals which are legal in the Digital YCbCr representation may not be legal if transcoded to RGB or encoded to NTSC/PAL. Any signal that fails this test is considered outofgamut.

Your instrument supports multiple displays and alarms to detect outofgamut signals. The displays and their uses are as follows:

Diamond for checking that SDI signals conform to legal RGB gamut space

Split Diamond separates the upper and lower diamonds to show excursions below black; otherwise it is identical to the Diamond display

Arrowhead for checking if an SDI signal is legal for composite color space

Diamond, Split Diamond, and Arrowhead have adjustable thresholds. If the signal goes outside the area deﬁned by the thresholds, the signal is out-of-gamut. If these limits are exceeded, the instrument can generate alarms if conﬁgured to do so.

Setup for G am ut Checks

1. Connect a video signal and terminate it

properly.

2. Select the input corresponding to the

signal connected.

3. Press and hold the GAMUT button

4. Use the arrow keys and SEL button to

Checking Luma Gamut

Luma limit thresholds can be conﬁgured for identifying luma exceeding threshold limits. They apply to both the incoming SDI and to the arrowhead representation of the SDI input as a composite signal. By deﬁning these levels in percent, they automatically account for the presence or absence of setup. The thresholds are affected by your choice of setup or no setup for the Arrowhead display.

1. Perform the Setup for Gamut Checks procedure. Select Arrowhead in step 4. (See page 28.)

2. Compare the signal to display to determine out-of-gamut luminance. Note the following:

The adjustable thresholds are

The thresholds are deﬁned in terms

of percent of full scale.

The range for the Upper limit is 90%

to 108%.

The range to the Lower Limit is -6%

to +5%.

Another useful Arrowhead function is a measure of how well the a ctive v ideo signal is using the dynamic range of the video channel. A properly adjusted signal should be centered in the arrowhead graticule and have transitions that approach all the limits.

Horizontal Offset: The timing difference between the reference and input signal.

Relative to: Indicates the chosen zero point for the timing display.

LinkBtoLinkA:Indicates the timing reference relationship when the instrument is in simultaneous input mode.

(Available with WFM4000 models only)

More complex timing relationships display multiple circles. See Timing Displays for Simple Versus Complex Timing.(Seepage36.)

Rear Panel is the default setting, where offset is shown as zero when the input and reference are at the same timing at the rear panel of the instrument. If you select Saved Offset, you can save the timing from one signal, and then display the timing relative to that saved offset.

Timing Display

Timing Pop-up Menu

Once you have selected Timing Measure from the STATUS button pop-up menu, pop-up menu enables you to save a timing setting for comparison with another signal and specify the zero point of the timing display.

To save the timing of the current input as an offset to the timing display, use the Save Offset menu entry. The current timing becomes the zero point for the saved offset mode of the timing display. This applies to both the cross-hair target in the middle of the display and the numeric readouts.

NOTE. 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 b y the instrument. A warning message will appear on the screen if you attempt to save the offset when it is not allowed.

Save Offset allows you to measure the timing between inputs or to match multiple signals. To select the deﬁnition for the zero timing offset, use the Relative To: menu entry to select one of the following:

Rear Panel means the timing offset will be shown as zero when the two signals are timed down at the rear of the instrument.

Saved Offset means that the timing w ill be shown as zero offset when the input signal matches the timing of the signal that was present when the offset was saved using the Save Offset menu entry.

This selection changes both the numeric readouts and the target in the middle of the timing display.

Such cases include timing an NTSC input (multiplier of 1) or a 525 SDI input whose frame time is 33.36 ms (multiplier of 2), against an NTSC

reference, which has a frame time of 66.73 ms.

Non-integer multiples of reference rates. If you time input rates that are not integer multiples of the reference rates,

the instrument cannot measure the timing deterministically, so it displays the relationships as several circles. Each circle represents a possible timing offset measurement relative to the reference cross-hai r. Display emphasis is given to the circle that times closest to zero offset and the numerical readouts track this pair. (See Figure 3.)

Checking Audio Level and Phase

Level meters are vertical bar graphs on which the height of the bar indicates the amplitude of the audio program in the corresponding input channel. You can change the input and turn on and off the Phase display from the Audio pop-up menu. Other meter characteristics such as ballistics, scale units, and program and test levels are conﬁgured through the Conﬁguration menu.

Your instrument can display phase of one input pair as a Lissajous pattern, and display correlation of all pairs.

To Check Level

1. Open the audio display and select an

input. (See

The Lissajous or phase display is a plot of one channel against another on an orthogonal pair of axes.

Soundstage plots the two channels at 45 degree angles, with the mono combination appearing on the vertical axis—like a left-right image in a studio.

X-Y plots left-channel data on the vertical axis and right channel data on the horizontal axis, emulating the X-Y display of an oscilloscope.
