Unmatched Measurement and Monitoring Performance for Content
Creation and Content Distribution
Most Advanced Physical
Layer Measurement Solutions
Physical-layer options
provide precise measurements for video signals.
The WVR8300 and WVR8200 high-performance waveform rasterizers
offer the most comprehensive physical-layer signal measurements for
engineers. When equipped with Option 3G and relevant physical-layer
options for each model, the WVR8300 and WVR8200 can perform 3G-SDI
eye pattern display, jitter measurements, and cable length measurements
(Option PHY for WVR8300 or Option EYE or PHY3 for WVR8200). Options
PHY and EYE provide unique capabilities such as reporting jitter levels
above 1 UI and providing various jitter filters from 10 Hz to 100 kHz
for SD/HD/3G-SDI signals. An easy-to-interpret gauge provides direct
readout for jitter measurements. Users can configure timing jitter
and alignment jitter readouts to be displayed simultaneously to effectively
isolate the sources of jitter. The SDI Status display summarizes key
signal parameters such as signal strength, cable loss, and estimated
cable length measurements.
With FlexVu™, users can simultaneously
display timing jitter and alignment jitter values, cable parameter
measurements, and display different eye patterns to help quickly diagnose
and resolve problems related to SDI timing jitter or cable attenuation.
The infinite persistence mode of the waveform rasterizer can also
be used to more easily view the eye opening of the physical-layer
signal.
In addition, the WVR8300 (with Option PHY) and WVR8200
(with Option PHY3) can also perform automated eye amplitude, automated
rise/fall time, automated overshoot/undershoot measurements, and provide
jitter waveform display to view jitter related to line and field rates.
All these capabilities help broadcasters and network operators detect
and diagnose signal quality problems quickly and efficiently. WVR8300
(with Option PHY) and WVR8200 (with Option GEN) also include multirate
HD/SD-SDI and 3G-SDI (with Option 3G) color bar and pathological signal
generation capabilities to provide engineers with a simple signal
source for quick signal path verification during system and/or equipment
setup and troubleshooting.
Superior Data Analysis Capabilities
for Engineers and Operators
ANC Data Inspector and
CaptureVu provide detailed content analysis.
Monitoring of Ancillary data (Closed Caption, Time Code,
and AFD) using Aux Data Status.
The new ANC
Data Inspector (standard on WVR8300 and available on WVR8200 with
Option DAT) provides an industry-leading solution to help broadcasters
easily and accurately ensure that all required VANC data is present
and correctly configured through an intuitive ANC data display.
In contrast to other solutions, the ANC Data Inspector enables
operators to easily and quickly ensure that the VANC data is present
and free of errors. When errors are detected, engineers are quickly
guided to a more detailed view of the data packet content for further
analysis.
With FlexVu™, each picture display tile can display
different CEA708/608 Closed Caption and individual Teletext subtitles.
Teletext subtitle pages can be decoded in either WST or OP47 format.
The Auxiliary Data Status display (standard on both the WVR8300
and WVR8200) provides summary information on Active Format Description
(AFD) per SMPTE 2016, Video Index Aspect Ratio, Wide Screen Signaling
(WSS), V-Chip, TSID, CGMS-A, Broadcast Flag, CEA708/608 Closed Caption,
Teletext, and Time Code information.
Today there is a wide
array of metadata that provides information to a variety of equipment
through the processing chain. Monitoring of this metadata is critical
to ensure that the processing equipment correctly handles the signal.
For instance, correct format of the AFD ensures that the aspect ratio
on the display is correctly formatted and the automated AFD graticule
is available for the picture display of the WVR8300 and WVR8200 along
with the binary data and text description for easy monitoring.
The WVR8300 and WVR8200 can also monitor Dolby metadata embedded
in the Vertical Ancillary (VANC) data space per SMPTE 2020.
Datalist display provides detailed pixel-by-pixel information.
The Datalist display, available as standard on the
WVR8300 and available as part of option DAT on the WVR8200, provides
detailed information on the actual data values in HD/SD-SDI and 3G-SDI
(with Option 3G) input signals. Users can easily use this display
to locate protocol errors in the input signals.
The right side
of the display shows the data values in hexadecimal, decimal, or binary
format and uses the following color coding for easy identification
of data types and errors:
- Green – Active video data
- Blue – Data in horizontal or vertical blanking intervals
- White – EAV, SAV, and other reserved words
- Yellow –
Data outside nominally allowed values
- Red – Data with illegal
values
The left side of display shows un-interpolated
digital values plotted against sample numbers as a digital waveform.
You can configure this unique display in either Video mode or Data
mode.
In Video mode, the display shows the Y, Cb, Cr values
aligned temporally, but offset vertically. Like the waveform display,
you can configure the display to show 1, 2, or all 3 components.
Full-featured Simultaneous Input Monitoring Boost Versatility
Simultaneous display, virtually two instruments in
one.
The Simultaneous Input Monitoring (SIM)
capability standard on the WVR8300 and available with Option SIM on
the WVR8200 takes multiformat monitoring to a new level. This capability
helps operational staff 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.
Simultaneous 3D display
of Left Eye and Right Eye signals.
FlexVu™
enables flexible and intuitive configuration of displays from two
monitored inputs. User can display simultaneous fault detection, status
reporting, alarm generation, and error logging. 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 Left 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 (Note: SIM is included as
part of Option 3D on WVR8200). 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
configure the instrument identically for Left and Right Eye 3D monitoring.
Multiple Input mode display of 4 SDI inputs with input
labels for each signal.
Multiple Input mode
can be used to monitor up to 4 SDI inputs simultaneously when in Full
Screen mode (4-input mode requires Option 2SDI). This type of display
is ideal for camera balance applications to check the video level
across multiple inputs. This Multiple Input mode is available within
Waveform, Vector, Lightning, Diamond, Arrowhead, and Spearhead (with
Option PROD) allowing for the comparison of video inputs across a
wide variety of these displays.
3D Measurement and Monitoring
3D Left and Right Eye images showing a Difference Map
and Red/Cyan Anaglyph using SIM mode.
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
and Right Eye view feed as two separate HD-SDI signals or combined
within a 3G Level B format. Additionally, a 3D signal can be carried
within a single SDI signal as a left and right image Side by Side,
Top/Bottom, or Field Interlace. Within the instrument a variety of
different 3D monitoring modes are available to assist the user in
determining the difference between the Left Eye and Right Eye views.
From this disparity difference between the two left and right images
the depth of an object within the image can be determined.
3D Left and Right Eye images showing Green/Magenta Anaglyph
and Checkerboard display using SIM mode.
For
monitoring purposes a variety of displays can be set up within the
Picture mode:
- 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 – The left image is shown in red and
the right image is shown in cyan, with identical left and right objects
shown in monochrome. This allows the user to isolate differences between
objects and gauge the depth of the object within the image.
- Green/Magenta Anaglyph Display – The left image is shown in green
and the right image is shown in magenta, with identical left and right
objects shown in monochrome. If an object appears in magenta and then
green this indicates that the object is coming out from the screen
plane. Similarly if the object appears in green and then magenta the
object is behind the screen plane.
- Checkerboard Display –
This picture display shows a block of the image from the left eye
and then the next block shows the image from the right eye in a 16×9
checkerboard pattern. This helps the user compare the levels and color
of the signal between the left and right images.
These
modes help the user compare the disparity between the left and right
images and can assist in interpreting the depth of the objects within
the image.
3D Left and Right Eye images showing Disparity
Grid and Disparity Cursor measurement using SIM mode.
For measurement of the depth of an object within the image
a Disparity Grid can be overlaid over the picture with a horizontal
disparity between 1 to 15% of screen width and a vertical disparity
of 50%, 25%, or 10% that can be selected by the user. The horizontal
and vertical position controls allow the Disparity Grid to be moved
around within the picture display to gauge the depth of objects within
the image.
A set of Disparity Cursors are also available for
precise measurement of horizontal disparity of an object between the
Left and Right Eye images. Readout is given of the pixel difference
between the cursors and the percentage of disparity of an object.

Audio/Video
synchronization is an important challenge in the processing of video
materials. The WVR8300 or WVR8200 with Option AVD 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 digital audio and video formats.
A TG700 is required to generate the SDI signal which contains the
audio and video sequence that can be distributed through the system
and measured by the WVR8300 or WVR8200 with Option AVD.
The
Tektronix-patented SMPTE RP168 compliant 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 Bowtie display
