WFM5000 series waveform monitors

WFM4000 series waveform monitors

Key Features

Tektronix waveform monitors can help you monitor SD SDI or HD SDI signals. The following table includes key features of
these instruments.

Feature

Description

Flexible tile displays: Full,
TandemVu®, and Quad Tile

Quad TIle (4-Tile)

: View four measurement displays at once, one in each tile.

TandemVu®

: Patented display allows you to overlay the Waveform and Vector or

Waveform and Lightning displays, plus Picture Thumbnail, in a single, full-tile display.

Full

: View a Waveform measurement display that is active in tile 1 full screen.

Thumbnail display

Thumbnail display of the picture in the selected Waveform, Gamut, Audio, or Vector
measurement displays.

Presets

Customizable presets allow you to quickly save and recall commonly used
con

fi

gurations.

Full digital processing

Full digital processing allows for accurate, repeatable, drift-free operation that
surpasses traditional analog designs.

Waveform display

Traditional waveform displays allow signals to be overlaid or paraded.
Waveform/Vector or Waveform/Lightning overlay display is also available.

Timing display

TIming display shows the timing relationship between video input and the external
reference.

Vector display

Traditional and Lightning Vector displays are available. The latter shows both
luma and chroma amplitudes, as well as quantifying inter-channel timing. Includes
Vector display with Composite and Component Compass Rose graticules, and
Vector/Waveform and Lightning/Waveform overlay; as well as gain, sweep, and
magni

fi

cation controls.

Gamut monitoring

Arrowhead, Diamond, and Split Diamond displays offer user-selectable gamut
thresholds so that you can set monitoring limits appropriate to a speci

fi

c operation.

Gamut monitoring is fully integrated with the alarm logging and reporting capabilities.

Picture area

Support for standard and custom Safe Graticules of Picture displays for monitoring
the incorrect placements of graphics and logos. Two Safe Area graticules and Safe
Title graticules are supported.
Lissajous display lets you monitor audio channel inputs.
Support and options for viewing and monitoring both levels of normal channel
pairs for AES and embedded audio, and many popular audio scales, including
BBC scales.

Audio monitoring

Provides Audio Control Packet information, which is ancillary data used to describe
the number of channels, audio frame rate, and audio channel delay.

Status screens

The following status displays provide content status: Alarm, Event/Error Log, Video
Session, Audio Session, and Audio Control.
