Atec Tektronix-TSG601-SDA601 - Manual (Page 2)

Variable output amplitude. The
TSG 601 serial output amplitude
(launch amplitude) may be
varied over the SMPTE ± 10%
specification.
ANC Data. Full-field CRC and
active picture CRC may be
added to the TSG 601 blanking
time between the timing refer-
ence portions (EAV and SAV) of
the serial output signal.
Return loss alarm. The TSG 601
serial digital output line is moni-
tored with a return loss detector
circuit. This circuit displays an
alarm indicator in the event of
improper termination (short,
open, or >2:1 mismatch).
Passive cable simulator. A cable
simulator circuit, equivalent to
approximately 50 meters of
Belden 8281 cable, is included
as a BNC loop-through connector
in the TSG 601 for quick head-
room evaluation.
Character ID. Up to eight messages,
each containing two 16 character
lines, may be stored for later
recall. One message may be
inserted into the TSG 601 video
test signal, and up to four may
be cycled into the test signal in a
continuous loop (displaying
each message for 1 to 9 seconds).
The position of the message may
be adjusted to anywhere within
the safe-title area.
User presets. Up to four complete
front panel configurations,
including menu selections, text
messages, and cycle information
may be stored in the TSG 601 for
later recall.
SDA 601 specific features:
Video format analysis. The SDA 601
will detect and report digital
signal parameters, including
line/field rate, clock rate, and
active picture resolution (eight
or ten bits).
Data format analysis. The
SDA 601 will detect and report
several types of input data
errors, including line/field
length (includes EAV/SAV place-
ment errors), illegal vertical
interval switch, EAV/SAV format
(sequencing, checksum, etc.),
illegal data values, ANC packet
format, unpacked ANC data, and
missing data bits (bits remaining
high or low).
Transport layer analysis. The
SDA 601 will detect and report
on several transport layer error
types, including full-field (FF)
and active-picture (AP) EDH
(SMPTE RP165) errors, EDH
flags (prior error detected), FF
and AP CRC changes, and
incoming signal strength.
Video content analysis. The
SDA 601 verifies that the ampli-
tudes of the Y, B-Y, and R-Y
signals are within the headroom
specifications and provides
information about the blanking
intervals.
Picture monitor output. The
SDA 601 picture monitor output
is used to highlight errors and
indicate the presence of ANC data.
User presets. Complete SDA 601
front panel configurations may
be stored for later recall.
Other capabilities:
Features common to both the
TSG 601 and SDA 601.
DC powered. Both the TSG 601
and SDA 601 may be operated
from the provided AC adapter,
from eight AA size batteries or
from an optional accessory 9.6 V
NiCad battery pack. Battery
recharging capability, utilizing
the AC adapter, is provided for
the NiCad battery pack only.
Handheld operation. The TSG 601
and SDA 601 are handheld in-
struments focused toward instal-
lation and maintenance of serial
component television systems.
Together, they provide a means
of evaluating system perfor-
mance under both stressful and
normal operating conditions.
