Multi-Standard, Multi-Format Waveform Monitors

WFM6120 WFM7020 WFM7120

The WFM6120 / WFM7020 / WFM7120 family provides Tektronix'

superior video monitoring and analysis capabilities required in

Content Creation, Content Delivery, Research & Development, and

Manufacturing applications.

This series of waveforms boost your productivity allowing to

accurately monitor and analyze content at a glance with Tektronix

See and SolveTMdisplays, powerful error reporting and the most

advanced timing, alignment, and jitter measurements.

New capabilities such as Dual-Link support, Simultaneous Input

monitoring and Audio-Video Delay measurements help you solve

challenging problems faster and efficiently.

Features & Benefits

Simultaneous A/B Input Support Extends

Monitoring Functions (SIM Option)

This capability allows two input signals to be

monitored simultaneously allowing operation

staff to quickly determine if a video quality

problem existed in the input signal, or arose

within their facility. This is especially helpful

when checking for transparency during format

conversion.

Numerical and Graphical Display of A/V

Delay (AVD Option)

The option helps diagnose and easily correct

audio-to-video synchronization problems.

This feature gives the installer or maintainer

an added dimension of testing to insure complete

system integrity. The AV delay measurement

provides a distinctive zero reference indicator

and the A/V measurement indicator.

CaptureVu - Much More Than Freezing

a Display

The CaptureVu can capture and store the

video data from an entire video frame and

display this data on waveform, Vector, Gamut

and Picture displays. Triggered captures are

particularly useful for finding intermittent errors

and for capturing data about fault conditions

at remote sites.

Alarms, Quality Statistics and Logging -

Thorough and Fast 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. The instrument

offers several alarm notification methods,

including on-screen error icons, audible beep,

ground-closure output, and SNMP traps.

USB ports and Headphone connector

The front-panel USB port makes it easy to

store captured data or instrument settingson a USB memory stick and transfer this

information to another instrument. All audio

options can output to the front-panel headphone

port. All models have a 10/100Base-T ethernet

connection and offer remote access and

control with a standard web-browser. You can

use this interface to download presets and

Picture Displays - Quick Visual Conformation

and Precision Content Adjustment

Picture display with closed caption, safe area

graticules and Gamut brightups. Editors can

choose from several safe area graticules on

the picture display to quickly verify correct

placement of graphics, titles, or logos. Using

FlexVu, editors can see two or more pictures

with different graticules to verify correct

placement for different formats and standards.

Exclusive Tektronix Gamut Displays

Help Ensure Compliant Content

The patented Tektronix Diamond, split Diamond

and Arrowhead Gamut displays simplify theprocess 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 video signal generated from

a digital video signal.

SDI Signal Measurement and Data Analysis

- Resolve the Most Challenging Problems

The powerful SDI physical layer measurement

features offer automated Eye parametermeasurements, Eye pattern displays, jitter

waveform and readouts and cable length

measurement parameters at a glance. With

FlexVu, you can simultaneous display timing

and alignment jitter values, cable parameter

measurements and different Eye patterns to

help quickly diagnose and resolve problems

Audio Monitoring - Versatile Tools Help

Confirm and Adjust Sound Quality

Sophisticated audio level and phase displays,

audio quality statistics, surround sound

display, auto-sensing of Dolby formats, Dolby

metadata decode. The audio options provide

user-selectable scales, meter ballistics and

audio level indicators. In-bar messages show

status and fault conditions for each monitored

audio channel, reducing the likelihood of an

undetected audio problem.

black outputs can independently generate

H, V, Blackburst and subcarrier.

HDLG7-HD Dual-Link Video Generator

The HDLG7 is a test signal generator that

provides two identical Dual-Link high definition

serial digital interface (HD SDI) outputs. The

module supports video formats that require

the use of a Dual-Link interface, such as

4:4:4 RGB, at rates up to 1080i/60 Hz or

1080p/30 Hz or 4:2:2: YCbCr at rates up to

1080p/60 Hz. The HDLG7 supports several

standard test signals, and also has the unique

ability to up-convert an arbitrary single-link

HD SDI input signal to a duallink format forthe outputs. The HDLG7 also supports digital

cinema 2K formats and test patterns.

VM700T is the leader in automatic video measurement sets worldwide.

The VM700T is a total solution for your baseband video and audiomonitoring and measurement needs. Options 1S and 2S are VM700T

upgrade options that add a state-of-the-art serial digital video

acquisition and analyzer module to a VM700T. The VM700T is the

de-facto industry standard for SD analog and digital video

measurements, delivering test results that are recognized, understood,

and trusted across the entire video measurement industry.

Continuous Real-Time Format Analyzer

with Event Logging and Frame Capture

The SDI format analyzer provides the continuous,

real-time format monitoring capability required

to quickly diagnose those hard to find format

errors in the serial digital signal. Monitoring

checks include loss of signal, loss of lock, video

line, blanking and field length errors, EAV/SAV

misplacement, ancillary data errors, audio

ancillary data errors, illegal luminance and

chrominance values with selectable search

areas, 8/10-bit validation, RP-165 validation,

errored seconds with time counter, event

logging, frame capture on user definable events,

and pattern search provide a total validation

of the SDI signal format.

Eye Diagram Display with Automatic Limit

Violation Detection

The SDI option allows comprehensive analysis

of the serial digital transport layer with a highresolution, equivalent time sampled Eye Pattern

Diagram. The Eye Pattern application allows

direct observation and verification of the analog

characteristics of the serial data signal while

simultaneously providing full automatic

measurements of all critical signal parameters.

Jitter Measurements with Wide Band

Spectral Analysis

VM700T SDI analyzer includes a Jitter

spectrum display with over 100 times the

spectral range of any competitive device for

detailed analysis and identification of all
