WVR7000
The latest addition to the Tektronix WVR family of Rasterizers the WVR7000 provides an ideal solution for basic monitoring needs of HD digital video.  Its flexible architecture allows you to buy only those options that you need today with configurations that meet your budgetary requirements.  WVR7000 supports HD monitoring applications with options to add SD and/or Composite Analog Video monitoring capabilities.  Available audio options offer support for monitoring digital audio (embedded or AES/EBU inputs) and analog audio.

WVR7100
The WVR7100 offers high performance monitoring and measurement for applications involving HD digital video.  It combines the video and audio monitoring capabilities available on the WVR7000.  It also provides optional support for Dolby audio decode and monitoring (including metadata) capabilities.  WVR7100 offers two physical layer measurement options, EYE and PHY.  Option EYE provides eye display, jitter readout and cable length measurement.  Option PHY provides additional automated eye measurements and jitter waveform display.

Powerful Display Flexibility - FlexVu Display
To maximize application flexibility, a high-resolution, tiled display design lets users customize presentation of information for each operation they wish to perform. Waveform, Vector, Gamut, Audio (optional), Eye/Jitter (optional), Timing, Status and Picture displays can be combined with line select, gain and magnification in nearly unlimited combinations. These instruments offer a number of exclusive displays that speed and simplify the monitoring and measurement tasks, continuing the Tektronix tradition of measurement leadership.

Four different views of the same signal

Waveform Displays A complete range of display options lets users choose between parade and overlay presentation of SDI signals in RGB, YPbPr, YRGB or composite formats. Full horizontal timing flexibility is provided with 1Line, 2Line, 1Field and 2Field sweep modes, with or without magnification. Both fixed and variable vertical gain are offered, each with the outstanding accuracy and repeatability that comes from a fully digital design.

Picture Displays
For a qualitative view of the content, a full-color picture display is offered, which can be displayed as a full-screen presentation, in a single tile, or in multiple tiles (up to four). This display is compatible with all input formats and features automatic adjustment for aspect ratio and number of active lines.

In addition to displaying the picture, the WVR7100, WVR7000 and WVR6100 can also display Safe Action and Safe Title graticules which help Editors and Operators easily identify incorrectly positioned video content. Besides the graticules defined by SMPTE RP218, ITU, and ARIB, two sets of totally flexible, user-definable graticules can also be chosen.

Every WVR7100, WVR7000 and WVR6100 can detect the presence of closed caption data that conforms to EIA608, EIA708 and ARIB standards. Various types of closed caption data, as well as V-Chip information, can also be decoded and displayed in the picture mode, providing the option to Operators to eliminate a dedicated CC monitor, saving space and money.

Analog, Digital (AES and Embedded), Dolby Digital, and Dolby E Audio Capabilities (Optional Capabilities)
A range of audio options, which can add comprehensive audio monitoring capabilities for both analog and digital audio are available in the WVR7100, WVR7000, and WVR6100.

Available on all models:

• Option DS monitors digital audio, both embedded and AES/EBU inputs.
• Option AD monitors analog audio formats and all the digital audio formats included in Option DS

Available on the WVR6100 and WVR7100:

• Option DD monitors and decodes Dolby Digital audio (AC-3) plus the analog and digital audio formats included in Option AD
• Option DDE monitors and decodes Dolby E plus all the audio formats included in Option DD

Options DD and DDE automatically sense Dolby audio formats and place a status message in the appropriate audio bar, eliminating confusion about audio input formats.  Dolby status displays offer in-depth review of decoded Dolby metadata.  Options DD and DDE allow full Dolby signals to be decoded and output as an analog or digital signal.

In addition to audio displays, a full range of audio data information (such as decoded Dolby Metadata) and audio error conditions (including AES unlock, parity errors and checksum errors) can be selected for monitoring.

With the Tektronix FlexVu™ display, the WVR7100 and WVR6100 are capable of monitoring Timing Jitter and Alignment Jitter together with Eye Patterns in both 3-Eye and either 10-Eye (SD) or 20-Eye (HD) modes simultaneously in separate tiles. To enhance the ease of monitoring jitter, a color-coded Jitter Meter, with a user-selectable threshold and numeric jitter values in UI and ns (or ps), is available with any of these Eye Patterns within the same tile.

A comprehensive overview of the video content status is presented in the video session screen. Offering a time-based compilation of information, this screen is ideal for presenting evidence of compliance after content screening. Information on input format and session time is presented, along with statistics on Error Detection and Handling (EDH)/Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) errors and Gamut errors. Information is presented in errored seconds, errored frames and percentage of total frames—together providing a unique quantitative insight to content quality.

An alarm status screen can also be displayed, providing up-to-the-moment information on the state of each condition currently being monitored by the instrument.

To support unattended monitoring applications, as well as provide documentation for service level agreements, the system maintains a log of all monitored alarms, time-stamped with Vertical Interval Time Code (VITC), Longitudinal Time Code (LTC), Ancillary Time Code, and time of day references.

Timing Display
This intuitive display makes facility timing easy through a simple graphical representation which clearly shows the timing offsets between HD and SD signals relative to the reference.

The patented Tektronix Timing display presents a unique timing comparison between a digital (SD or HD) or analog composite signal and a house reference signal (composite or tri-level sync), thus eliminating the complexity in timing SD and HD signals. Timing differences are displayed numerically in terms of vertical lines and horizontal time in μsec relative to the house reference signal. A simple graphical display shows the relative timing of the input signal (the circle) versus the reference signal (the crosshair). When the two signals are properly timed, the circle changes from red to green color and is concentric with the crosshair.

The remote front panel option (WVRRFP), with the same buttons and knobs configuration as the front panel on the instrument, allows operators to access and control the base unit from a distance of up to 100ft, using a cable.  Users can simultaneously control the WVR7100, WVR7000 and WVR6100 from the base unit and from the remote front panel.

Where simplified interfacing is the dominant requirement, a ground-closure type remote interface provides access to an alarm signal output and instrument presets. The ground-closure interface is ideal for use in master control scenarios or in outside broadcast applications.
