audio. The AMM768 provide simple in-bar display of the type of Dolby signal
present on the input. Allowing the user to quickly interpret the signal and
configure the instrument appropriately. The AMM768 offers monitoring
capability for the audio types most frequently used in the video/audio
broadcasting environments including Dolby Digital and Dolby E.Option DD
allows for monitoring of Dolby Digital, and option DDE allows for monitoring of
up to ten Dolby E channels. Dolby status displays offer in-depth review of
decoded Dolby metadata. All audio options have an audio bar display and
can display up to six audio bars for analog inputs, up to eight audio bars on
AES and embedded audio sources, and up to ten audio bars when decoding Dolby
Digital or Dolby-E.

AMM768 has the ability to decode Dolby E to a variety of different outputs
analog or digital. Eight Analog and Digital outputs are available by
re-configuring Input B.>
The AMM768 provides unique user interface features to
improve efficiency in production operations and engineering. The
integrated FlexVu™ Display Interface of AMM768 allows for the
simultaneous display of four display tiles to monitor, at a glance
several aspects of the signal. You can create and store up to 20
presets and organize them into five groups. Using presets, you can
configure the instrument for specific tasks or personal preferences. You
can label the presets and preset groups for easy identification. The
presets can be downloaded to a USB memory device and transfer them to
another AMM768 unit.

Powerful Monitoring And Alarm Reporting Capabilities
All audio options of the AMM768 provide user-selectable scales, meter
ballistics, audio level indicators, threshold levels, and measurement durations.
AMM768 features Bars, Phase and Surround audio displays. The audio bar
display provides In-bar messages to show status and fault conditions for each
monitored audio channel, reducing the likelihood of an undetected audio problem.
The multiple-channel Surround Sound display shows audio levels, total sound
volume, phantom source locations, and dominant sound position that facilitates
full signal monitoring at a glance.The Audio Session display shows digital
error conditions, highest true peak, and the number of clips, mutes,
over-levels, silences and loudness levels. User-specified threshold values
determine over-level and silence conditions and the duration of an audio fault
required to trigger an alarm. The AES Channel Status display provides
Text, Hex or Binary display of the audio data. The Binary mode provides data
decoding of the individual bits and bytes for easy interpretation and detailed
analysis of the audio data.
AMM768 provides several alarm notification methods, including on-screen error
icons, audible beep, ground-closure output and SNMP traps. The user can select
how each alarm will be reported and which alarms must be saved in the error log.
AMM768 can store up to 10,000 events. These events are stored with time code,
date, and time of day. The log file can be easily printed directly or exported
to htm or txt file for easy processing in Excel or database software. This
error log is provided as a standard feature with any audio option. This capacity
is a must to perform unattended monitoring of content or for the preparation of
maintenance and quality records.

Picture Display For Easy Audio/Video
Coordination |
SDI Picture Display
Tektronix Option SDI provides a unique HD/SD picture display with closed
caption capability. This picture display facilitates a coordinated
monitoring of embedded audio signals with the corresponding video. This
feature provides an additional level of insight in the content, it
facilitates the identification of monitored material, simplifies the
detection of embedding problems, and helps operators to unveil
audio-video coordination faults. The video to audio map feature
allows to associate different audio to SDI video inputs for quick
combination of audio and video signals. This option also provides
audio de-embedding for eight AES/EBU channels.

Advanced Network Connectivity
AMM768 provides full Ethernet connectivity for remote reporting and instrument
operation via web. Its interface is compatible with SNMP. This allows for
automatic report generation to a centralized location. This instrument
also provides an auxiliary XGA output for external display units, and a PIX
output for full display of the SDI signal.
