Tektronix WFM6120 User Manual

Preface
Feature Description
Gamut m onitoring Arrowhead, Diamond, and Split Diamond displays offer user-selectable gamut
thresholds so
that you can set monitoring limits appropriate to a specific operation.
Gamut monitoring is fully integrated with the alarm logging and reporting capabilities.
Waveforms can also be set, tile by tile, to Infinite Persistence. This mode traces
waveforms ove
r time on the same display, providing a visual history of the trace.
Timing and LT
C w aveform displays
Longitudina
l Time Code (LTC) is monitored in a frame rate display to allow
observation of amplitude, synchronization and phase with respect to reference
vertical interval time code (VITC).
Surround Sound display of audio signals and phase relationships of normal channel
pairs.
Lissajous
display lets you monitor a user-specified pairing of channel inputs.
Support a
nd options for viewing and monitoring both levels of normal channel pairs
for AES, analog, embedded audio, and Dolby signals (Dolby support available with
the WFM6120 and WFM7120, only).
Loudness m easurement, audio control packet coding, and many popular audio
scales, including BBC scales, are also supported.
Audio monitoring
Audio Loudness Session display lets you m onitor loudness. Included are multiple
status r
eadouts and a trend chart that covers a user-configurable time duration.
Auxiliary data monitoring
Suppor
t for monitoring auxiliary data including data conforming to ARIB standards
and CEA608, CEA708, AFD, CGMS-A, and three user-defined ANC data types.
Closed Captioning support Support for simultaneous decode and display of C C standards (CEA 608 (VB I), CEA
608 (ANC), CEA (608/708), CEA 708, TeletextB (VBI), TeletextB OP47 SDP (A NC),
and Te
letexB OP47 Multi (ANC)) with caption text and V-chip information overlaid on
the picture (monitor m ode) or on Status, Alarm, or Error screens. There are also
settings for missing (incorrectly inserted) closed captioning.
Picture area
Support for standard and custom Safe Graticules for Picture displays for monitoring
for i
ncorrect placements of graphics, logos, B lack events, and Frozen events. Two
Safe Area graticules and Safe Title graticules are s upported.
Status screens Status screens provide content status at a glance.
Phy
sical measurements
(Option EYE and PHY only) Verification and automatic measurement of the electrical
characteristics of the SDI physical layer. An Eye display lets you use the graticule
or
voltage and time cursors to measure the waveform. A Jitter waveform display
shows jitter and jitter thermometers provide two independent measurements of jitter
and one of cable loss, and relates those measurements to defined alarm limits.
Wa
veforms can also be set, tile by tile, to Infinite Persistence. This mode traces
waveforms over time on the same display, providing a visual history of the trace.
E
rror tracking
Configurable alarms and error logging.
R
emote control
Full remote control for complete installation flexibility.
