(8) Video level meter
Click the icon to enter, the IP camera tester has adopted hardware high-speed sampling and
processing technology, can perform both NTSC and PAL video amplitude signal measurements for
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
While in PAL format, the unit will be mV, While in NTSC format, it will be IRE.
Page.52.
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.
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
gradually dwindling photos on the desktop.

Application:TDR test is the use of pulse reflection method, to transmit pulse signal for tested cable,
when cable is open circuit or short-circuit, reflected pulse is generated, the tester receives and deals with
the reflected wave, measurement results displayed on the screen. TDR can test cable open circuit and
short circuit, help engineer quickly find the cable’s problem location. It is more convenient and efficient
to repair the faulty cable.
Note: The TDR reflect signal could be affected by the cable quality/ cable’s not well
connected etc to cause the different TDR measurement. The TDR measurement is for reference
only.
