Release Notes
Embedded Audio with 3
Gbps level A signals (1080
50p/59.94p/60p)
ANC Data Display: Audio Data may be reported as occurring one line later
than its actual location.
Datalist Display: Embedded audio data that is actually present on odd lines
appears on the next even line. The actual locations of audio data on odd lines
appear with the value "000". Anc data actually present on even lines appears
on the correct line, but follows any audio data transcribed from the preceding
odd line.
Waveform Display, Strip EAV/SAV/ANC Con
fi
gured to Off: Embedded
audio ancillary data from the preceding line, or runs of value "000", may
appear in the horizontal interval.
Error Readouts
If every CRC or Line Number in a signal is incorrect, the status screen will
display "Error" for a couple of seconds and then go back to "OK", even if the
error is still present. If the error is present when the signal if
fi
rst connected, it
is never detected.
External Reference
Sometimes loss of the External Reference signal does not make the resulting
loss of lock obvious. For example, if a 525 input has EXT REF selected and
con
fi
gured to lock to an NTSC reference, removing the external reference
signal leaves the waveform stable, but shifted on the screen.
Note that the SDI Input Readout can be used to determine if the waveform is
locked.
When in SDI mode, but with no SDI input signal present, the screen
displays Ref: Ext Unlocked even though a valid External Reference signal
is connected.
The following External Reference signal formats are not fully supported
when in line select mode or in Sweep MAG mode. Although not supported,
the following formats may be somewhat functional and are not locked out:
NTSC and PAL with tri-level input, and 720p 23.98, 1080sf 29.97, 720p 24,
1080sf 30, 720p 25, and 1080sf 25.
With some combinations of SDI input and External Reference formats, the
sweep stops prematurely when Sweep MAG is in one-line mode. To work
around this limitation, turn off EXT REF to make the measurement.
Field Installs of Dolby
Options
When you update an instrument with Option DDE, the Dolby input entries may
not appear in the Audio popup menu until you cycle power. Therefore, after
installing an option and powering up and updating the Option Key, be sure to
cycle power once more to ensure that the menu items appear.
NOTE.
