The Tektronix Ancillary Data Monitoring for 5250 Waveform Rasterizer includes decoding of 708 and 608 Closed Captions, Teletext and OP47 Subtitles, AFD, CGMS-A, ANC Data Inspector, and advanced data analysis capabilities. It features comprehensive data monitoring that helps to quickly resolve difficult content quality and reliability issues. ANC Data Inspector and SDI Data Analysis display helps troubleshoot ANC data and SDI data problems. It also features simultaneous CEA708/608 Closed Caption monitoring and Teletext and OP47 Subtitle Monitoring.
The ANC Data Inspector provides an industry-leading solution to help broadcasters easily and accurately ensure that all required VANC data are present and correctly configured through an intuitive ANC data display. In contrast to other solutions, the ANC Data Inspector enables operators to quickly and easily ensure that the VANC data are present and free of errors. When errors are detected, engineers are quickly guided to a detailed view of the data packet content for further analysis.
The Closed Caption (CEA708/608) and individual Teletext subtitles can be simultaneously decoded and displayed within the picture display. The Teletext subtitle pages can be decoded in either WST or OP47 format.
The Auxiliary Data Status display provides summary information on AFD (Active Format Description) per SMPTE 2016, Video Index Aspect Ratio, WSS (Wide Screen Signaling), V-Chip, TSID, CGMS-A, Broadcast Flag, CEA708/608 Closed Caption, Teletext, and Time Code information.
Today, there is a wide array of metadata that provides information to a variety of equipment through the processing chain. Monitoring of this metadata is critical to ensure that the processing equipment correctly handles the signal. For instance, correct format of the AFD ensures that the aspect ratio on the display is correctly formatted and the automated AFD graticule is available for the picture display of the WVR5250 SDI/HDMI Multiformat Waveform Rasterizer along with the binary data and text description for easy monitoring.
The Datalist display provides detailed information on the actual data values in HD/SD-SDI and 3G-SDI (with 3G) input signals. You can easily use this display to locate protocol errors in the input signals.
The right side of the display shows the data values in hexadecimal, decimal, or binary format and uses the following color coding for easy identification of data types and errors; Green: Active video data, Blue: Data in horizontal or vertical blanking intervals, White: EAV, SAV, and other reserved words, Yellow: Data outside nominally allowed values, and Red: Data with illegal values.
The left side of display shows un-interpolated digital values plotted against sample numbers as a digital waveform. You can configure this unique display in either Video mode or Data mode. In Video mode, the display shows the Y, Cb, Cr values aligned temporally, but offset vertically. Like the waveform display, you can configure the display to show 1, 2, or all 3 components.
- Datalist and ANC Data Inspector are sold separately for HDMI inputs.
