Timing Application
The Timing application uses a reference to evaluate the timing of the input of single-
link SDI, quad-link SDI, or IP formats (ST2022-6 or ST2110-20). The timing of the input is
compared to the expected frame time according to the reference alignment.
SDI versus Black Burst is available in standard. SDI versus PTP, IP versus PTP, Black Burst
versus PTP requires Option MP2-IP-MEAS.
For analog references (Black Burst or Tri-Level sync) the relative position of the
horizontal and vertical sync pulses are compared to the input signal. In the case of PTP
the current time is obtained and compared to the SMPTE Epoch. When an input is
configured for ST2022-7 style redundant streams, circles for Path 1 (green) and Path 2
(blue) appears, otherwise only a single path displays. When the input signal is fully
aligned with the reference, both circles are in the center of the display indicated by the
+ symbol.
Note: PTP must be locked to use the Timing application with PTP references.
