3 Gb/s Input Monitoring
With Option 3G installed, this instrument provides support for monitoring and measuring 3 Gb/s single link signals in 1920 x
1080p/50/59.94/60 formats. If your instru ment also has Option JIT, it can generatea3Gb/ssinglelinklooptestsignalas
well as m
onitor a 3 Gb/s single link signal.
Three t
ypes of signals can be generated in Level A and Level B 3 Gb/s: 75% bars, 100% bars, and pathogenic. If you want
to use a pathogenic signal, use Level A, if possible. For more information about 3 Gb/s signals, see the appropriate SMPTE
standard. The following procedures show you how to set up your instrument for 3 Gb/s monitoring and generation.

NOTE. The factory default sets instruments
with Option JIT so that the 3 Gb/s loop out
test signal is OFF. If it has been turned ON,
you need to turn it OFF before an external
3 Gb/s signal can be used.
1. Connect a 3 Gb/s video signal to the SDI
A input at the rear panel.
2. Select a tile and measurement in which
to display the input.
NOTE. If your instrument does not have
Option JIT, you can use a second WFM with
Option JIT to generate the 3 Gb/s signal.
Connect the SDI OUT of the generating unit
to the SDI A of the monitoring unit.
