WFM/WVR5200 Audio Capabilities
Tektronix audio monitoring solutions cover the technology spectrum from analog audio to the most sophisticated multi-channel surround sound digital
audio monitoring, including associated meta data and extends to file-based content verification. The WFM/WVR5200 Series offers support for
embedded audio up to 16 channels.

Audio Loudness

16 Channel Embedded Audio

Embedded AES/EBU audio monitoring (up to

16 channels simultaneously) with bars,
Lissajous, or Surround Sound1 display

Allows operators to verify audio levels and

provides alarms for clips, mute, silence and
overs.

Video
WFM/WVR5200 and WFM/WVR5250 Video Capabilities
For many, the HD-SDI implementation will be part of a hybrid environment, adding complexity to the process of measurement, monitoring and
analysis. Tektronix tools are designed for multi-format, multi-standard support and provide familiar user interfaces. Tektronix test & measurement
tools and technical content will help guide you through the transition process of bringing HD services on line and ensuring operational efficiency.

Multi-Input Mode for

Camera Balancing

Capture and Compare Signals

The captured Trace function allows the

current waveform displays to be frozen on the
screen and is basically a simple image capture
of the current available display.
In the waveform displays (waveform, vector,
and gamut) the trace from the captured data
appears in yellow.

Up to 4 SDI inputs (WFM/WVR5200 only)

Ideal for camera balancing

WFM/WVR8300 Video Capabilities
Waveform monitors and rasterizers help video content producers verify content quality and make precision content adjustments. Choose a basic
waveform monitoring platform or a fully field upgradeable waveform monitor that will allow you to extend your monitoring and measurement
capabilities as your business requires. Start with High Definition (HD-SDI) with Digital and Dolby audio formats with an upgrade path to 3G-SDI and
3D video.

3D Video Camera Balancing and Alignment

To produce 3D content, a range of new 3D production equipment is required to combine images from the two cameras, representing the Left Eye and
Right Eye. One of the key monitoring elements is to ensure that the two cameras are well balanced and matched to create good quality 3D effects
without causing viewers discomfort. Tektronix has introduced several new displays for 3D production work that assist production teams who are
determining the differences between the Left Eye and Right Eye images.

Quad Diamond Display

Ideal for camera matching of the two left and

right signal for 3D applications.

Quickly isolate the component in error and

make adjustments to the left or right camera to
correct the imbalance.

Increases the trace display brightness with

increasing L-R channel disparity

Dual Stream 3D Mode

CH-1 & CH-2 Left Eye & Right Eye

SyncVu allows simultaneous changes of

channels

Any measurement displays can be configured

Timing Measurement

Multiple line selects

http://www.tek.com/industry/content-creation-post-production

Video Level Adjustments

for Multiple Inputs

Multiple Input in full screen mode to view

paraded display of luma traces for left and
right eye.

With OPT 2 SDI up to four inputs can be

viewed simultaneously allowing the output
from two left and right camera to be
displayed.

3D Video Camera Balancing and Alignment

Checkerboard Display

Left Eye and Right Eye blocks form

16x9 checkerboard

Left Eye minus Right Eye blocks

Ability to check Disparity between
images
If 50% grey, the image is identical
between the left and right image.

Disparity Cursor

Measure Horizontal Disparity of

Object between left and right eye
signals.

Anaglyph Modes

Selectable either as Green / Magenta or

Red / Cyan
Monochrome image when left and right
images are identical.
Allows user to view 3D image with the use
of appropriate colored anaglyph glasses.

WFM/WVR8300 Video Capabilities
The WFM/WVR8300 provide advanced capabilities to troubleshoot your timing, format and cable length problems. It can perform 3GSDI eye pattern display, jitter measurements, and cable length measurements. 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. The Lightning
display shows luma and chroma amplitudes and helps users verify component timing using a color bar signal. The Tektronix-patented
Bowtie display complements the timing measurement capability of the Lightning display. Using a special Bowtie test signal in
component format, this display helps make precise and accurate measurements of inter-channel amplitude and timing.

3G-SDI Eye Pattern Measurements

Automated eye amplitude, automated rise/fall

time, automated overshoot/undershoot
measurements

Key signal parameters such as signal strength,

cable loss, and estimated cable length
measurements

3G-SDI Jitter Characterization

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

Troubleshooting
WFM2200 and WFM2300 Video and Audio Capabilities
This portable waveform monitor provides an array of basic monitoring tools for video (SD, HD, Dual Link and optional 3G), and audio
(Embedded, AES) monitoring that can be configured in Full and Quad Tile display to allow you to see all the necessary signal
information at a glance. ANC Data Inspector, Data list and closed caption decode are invaluable for troubleshooting problems within
the ancillary data space. A video and audio generator aids in fault finding signals problems and an external reference waveform display
can assist in ensuring correct video timing along with the Tektronix patented Timing display. A range of options and accessories
expand the versatility of the WFM2200 & WFM2300 for field operations including a new optical input for SMPTE 297 SDI signals.

Content Verification

13

Comprehensive overview of the video content

and alarm status
Tektronix-patented Diamond, Split Diamond,
and Arrowhead displays simplify the process of
verifying gamut compliance and are ideal for
colorists, editors, and operators to visualize
whether the content is RGB or Composite
Gamut compliant with a single glance.
Error log of 10,000 events facilitates the
detection and correction of problems with
entries recorded with date, time of day, and
time code (VITC, LTC, ANC).

Signal Generation

http://www.tek.com/industry/content-creation-post-production

Generate a 100% or 75% color bars along with

pathological test signals with the ability to
Genlock the test signal output to the External
Reference Input.
Audio test tones can be generated at the AES
output or embedded in the SDI test signal
output.
Change the test signal patterns, video format,
whether the test signal is moving or static,
audio test tone, and audio level.
The moving circle allows the user to easily
identify whether the test signal is active live
or still and helps determine problems within the
signal path that haves been caused by
equipment freezing on the last frame.

Physical Layer & ANC Data Testing

Jitter measurements with Eye pattern

display and automated measurements

Cable simulation and stress test s ensure

physical layer health of the system and
assist in determining limits

CRC error counts show the gradual

degradation of the signal before reaching
the digital cliff.

ANC Data Inspector enables operators to

quickly and easily ensure that the VANC
data is present and free of errors

Closed Caption (CEA708/608) and

individual Teletext subtitles can be
simultaneously decoded and displayed.

near-zero downtime, and 24/7 availability of timing and
synchronization signal sources from the SPG system.
SNMP error reporting and Web UI support remotely monitors the
status of the SPG system and easily integrates into automation
and central monitoring and control systems
3G-SDI capabilities helps you be prepared for the future and
protect your infrastructure investment.
The scalable architecture of the ECO8000 and the ECO8020
allow you to configure your SPG systems to fit their particular
needs without paying more for the extra ECO channels that they
dont need.
