Audio
Audio amplitude and phase is monitored using a calibrated
X/Y Lissajous display. The operator can verify that the
program audio will be properly reproduced on both monaural
and stereo receivers. Correct phasing between two audio
channels is quickly verified by the direction of the display.
SCH
SCH
provides a vector display of the subcarrier-to-horizontal-
sync phase relationship. The burst vector and the phase of
the 50% point of the leading edge of sync are displayed.
Subcarrier-to-horizontal phase and color framing are dis-
played graphically in the polar
SCH
display. Sync jitter over
the field is displayed as a moving sync vector dot. Correct
color framing can be verified by the position of the single
sync vector dot, relative to the color subcarrier vector when
the monitor is externally referenced.
The
SCH
phase of the reference signal is separately sensed to
allow reliable color framing comparison. Using this method
of determining relative color framing eliminates the require-
ment for a precise horizontal timing match between the
reference and measured signals. An external color-field
identification input is also required.
Picture
The
PICTURE
mode allows the operator to verify the signal
source. In
PICTURE
mode with
LINE SELECT
on, a bright-up
marker identifies the selected line in the picture.
