Option 3G and Option JIT address the growing need for monitoring of 3G Single Link SDI formats in Post Production and Content Delivery.

Option 3G provides all the basic monitoring capability normally associated with SD/HD SDI including Picture, Waveform, Vector, Gamut, Audio, Error Logging and Session Displays.

Option JIT enables the user to effectively monitor jitter components in the 3G Single Link Environments. The built in 3G Test Loop Generator provides 100% Color Bars, 75% Color Bars and Pathogenic Test Patterns.

Dolby E and Dolby D audio monitoring capabilities (Option DDE) can now be added to the WFM7020 waveform monitor or the WVR7020 waveform rasterizer.


B. New Feature Enhancements

Note: Opt. 3G also allows the end user to view Dual Link signals in the combined mode.

In order to view Link "A" and Link "B" Dual Link signals simultaneously (side-by-side) Opt. SIM is required.

The table below cross references these options and significant new feature enhancements described in the introduction by model:
