PEAK to PEAK, SYNC levels and COLOR BURST chroma level. When an analog signal is fed into

the meter, the tester displays the measurements on the bottom left corner of the screen

Page.45.

NTSC

Video signal level

140±15IRE

Chroma level( COLOR BURST)

40±5IRE

SYNC signal level

40±5IRE

PAL

Video signal level

1000±200mV

Chroma level( COLOR BURST)

300±35mV

SYNC signal level

300±35mV

While in PAL format, the unit will be mV, While in NTSC format, it will be IRE.

Video signal PEAK to PEAK level:

For NTSC format, the video signal level is 140±15IRE

For PAL format, the video signal level is 1000±200mV
If the level is too low, it will cause the image to lose quality and limit the distance it will travel over
cable. If the level is too high, it will distort the image.
SYNC level: Tests the amplitude of the video sync pulse to verify if the video level is correct.

For NTSC format, the SYNC level is 40 ± 5IRE

For PAL format, the SYNC level is 300 ± 35mV
If the level is too low, it will cause the image to not frame out properly. If the level is too high, it will
lead to a poor quality image.
COLOR BURST level: Testing the color burst level will determine if the burst signal is sufficient to
trigger the displays color producing circuit. Burst will diminish in amplitude over longer cable runs and
can get fall below the threshold for the video display to show a color image.

Page.46.

For NTSC format, the Chroma standard level is 40 IRE

For PAL format, the Chroma standard level is 280mV
If the Chroma level is too low, the color will not be as deep, and some details of the image will become
lighter. If the Chroma level is too high, there will be distortions on the image. If the coaxial cable is too
long, it will reduce the chroma level.
Image loop test: Test video optical transmitter and receiver and video cable, connect one end to the
tester "VIDEO OUT" port, and the other end connected to "VIDEO IN" port, the signal send via
"VIDEO OUT" port, and received via "VIDEO IN" port, If the testing is ok, the tester displays several
