Gamut, Video Session and Timing Displays

The vector display offers user-selectable graticules, color target and color axis. The patented Tektronix Lightning display shows luma and chroma amplitudes and helps you verify component timing using a color bar header signal. The SCH Phase display helps quickly verify this critical timing parameter of composite analog video signals.

Tektronix-Exclusive Gamut Displays
The patented Tektronix Split Diamond and Arrowhead gamut displays simplify the process of verifying gamut compliance. The Split Diamond display helps easily identify and correct RGB gamut errors in digital video signals. The Arrowhead display saves time in verifying the gamut compliance of the composite analog video signal generated from a digital video signal.

With FlexVu, you can simultaneously monitor both gamut displays to quickly gain complete confidence in content compliance throughout the delivery chain. Also, user-selectable gamut thresholds let you tailor these displays, and the associated gamut alarms, to your particular compliance standards.

Timing Display
The patented Tektronix Timing display makes facility timing easy through a simple graphical representation which shows the relative timing of the input signal (the circle) versus the reference signal (the crosshair).

Full Frame Picture Display with Graticules And Brightups

For proper timing the circle should be centered on the crosshair and changes color from red to green when the signals are aligned. The display also has numeric readouts of the timing difference relative to the reference signal, showing vertical timing as number of lines and horizontal time difference in microseconds.

Picture Displays
The WVR Series instruments can display the picture on the full-screen, or on one of more views in a multiple-view display. For different input formats, the picture display automatically adjusts to show the full image content.

The picture display can also detect and decode closed caption data (EIA608, 608 in 708 and ARIB formats), along with content advisory codes, enabling quick and easy verification of this critical ancillary data.

Powerful error log provides detailed reports for up to 10,000 events

Editors can choose from several Safe Area graticules on the picture display to quickly verify correct placement of graphics, titles, or logos. Graticule choices include the Safe Action and Safe Title graticules defined in SMPTE, ITU, and ARIB standards, plus custom, user-definable graticules. Using FlexVu, editors can see two or more pictures with different graticules to verify correct placement for different formats and standards. You can also select brightup conditions that show the location of RGB or composite gamut errors on the picture display. The in-line select mode shows the location of the line currently selected within the picture display.

Alarms, Quality Statistics, and Logging
WVR6020, WVR7020 and WVR7120 Rasterizers offer a variety of displays for status at a glance signal monitoring and quick, thorough content verification. Using the alarm status display operators and technicians can quickly detect video faults, including gamut, EDH, and CRC errors, SDI format problems, and many more.

Passive Loop Through Inputs
Tektronix waveform Rasterizers allow for transparent monitoring at any point of the signal path. WVR Series provides unique passive loop-throughs. This feature is indispensable to assure transparent monitoring throughout the entire signal path without introducing distortion. Tektronix waveform Rasterizers can operate anywhere in the distribution system due to their high impedance, bridging, and passive loop-through inputs.

Remote Interfaces
Powerful and flexible remote control features help users integrate these instruments into a variety of remote monitoring scenarios. The WVR Series instruments can be remotely accessed and controlled through a variety of mechanisms: remote front panel, web interface, ground closure and SNMP.

The remote front panel, WVRRFP, with the same buttons and knobs configuration as the front panel on the instrument, allows operators to access and control the base unit from a distance of up to 100 feet, using a cable. Users can simultaneously control the WVR from the base unit and from the remote front panel.

Using the built-in 10/100Base-T Ethernet port, users can remotely control every major feature of the instrument, view the display, download the alarm log and print the screen contents for easy record keeping. The Ethernet remote operation allow to control an unlimited number of WVR instruments from a single windows computer using a commercial Web-browser. This powerful Java application offers a variety of control options to suit individual preferences and allows users to create and recall an unlimited number of instrument presets.

Where simplified interfacing is the dominant requirement, a ground-closure type remote interface provides access to an alarm signal output and instrument presets. The ground-closure interface is ideal for use in master control scenarios or in outside broadcast applications.

The SNMP interface allows easy integration with network management software and advanced remote operation via an SNMP browser. For applications that require reproducible test sequences, like in a design and manufacturing environment, this capability also enables automated tasks managed by an SNMP script.
