The
WVR5000 and WVR4000 Compact Video Rasterizers provide an ideal solution
for basic video and audio monitoring needs in a convenient 1 RU half-rack
form factor, suitable for space-constrained environments.
These
versatile instruments provide options to accept power from a 12 VDC
source or a 100-240 VAC converter.
Both models come standard
with support for 16 channels of Embedded Audio and 1 input for 2 channels
of Digital AES audio.
WVR5000
Supports HD-SDI (SMPTE
292M) and SD-SDI (ITU-R BT.601) monitoring applications. It provides
HD/SD format auto-detect.
WVR4000
Supports SD-SDI
(ITU-R BT.601) monitoring only.
These instruments provide the
reliability of the Tektronix waveform monitors family in a compact,
basic monitoring product.
Tektronix Excellence
WVR5000
and WVR4000 offer uncompromised monitoring quality with sharp CRT-like
traces, patented Gamut displays, picture thumbnail, display freeze,
and an error log for 10,000 events for efficient content compliance
verification.
Digital Audio and Video Monitoring in One Instrument
These instruments provide standard digital audio monitoring
with Audio Bars, Lissajous Displays, and front-panel headphone port
for easy compliance verification of digital audio without the need
for an additional piece of equipment.
Ease of Use
The Intuitive User Interface provides backlit buttons, and online
help.
32 user-configurable presets allow users to recall commonly
used configurations tailored to your personal work practices. These
presets can be transferred to and from other units (same model) through
the front-panel USB port.
The Passive loopthrough inputs allow
for transparent monitoring at any point of the signal path even if
instrument power is off.
An Ethernet port allows for easy download
of Screenshots and the Error log.
See and Solve with Tektronix
Displays
The “See and Solve” displays in Tektronix video monitors
simplify video monitoring tasks such as calibration, error detection,
and content correction allowing to detect errors at a glance and troubleshoot
them efficiently.
Tektronix displays offer the sharpest CRT-like
traces quality for clear and accurate video and audio monitoring with
the look and feel of an analog display. With several sweep rates and
easy control of vertical gain and horizontal magnification, you can
efficiently monitor and measure video waveform parameters.
Specialized displays provide summarized, yet comprehensive reports
of alarms, session, and status of content. Powerful displays such
as Video Status show in a condensed way error statistics, signal format,
presence of ancillary data, and more. These Tektronix exclusive displays
simplify monitoring tasks by providing important content information
at a glance.
The vector display offers user-selectable graticules,
color target, and color axis.
Patented Tektronix Gamut Displays
– Efficiently Detect and Correct Gamut Problems
The patented Tektronix Diamond and Split Diamond displays
enable Colorists, Editors, and Operators to visualize whether the
content is RGB Gamut-compliant with a single glance. Plus, they are
designed to help isolate the Out-of-Gamut component just as easily.
For SDI component content that is destined for broadcast in composite
systems, the unique Tektronix Arrowhead display can be used to monitor
Composite Gamut compliance without the need for a separate encoder.
Within this display, a separate upper and lower luma-only Gamut limit
can be applied. This display is very useful for camera balancing.
Each of these displays offers user-selectable Gamut thresholds
so Operators can set monitoring limits appropriate to their specific
operation. In addition, Gamut monitoring is fully integrated with
the powerful alarm logging and reporting capability of the WVR5000
and WVR4000.
TandemVu™ Display – Customized Waveform and Vector
View
TandemVu provides the ability to visualize waveform and
vector or lightning displays simultaneously. The user can position
and magnify each trace individually based on personal preferences.
TandemVu provides broadcast operators with an efficient way to adjust
and balance cameras in studios or outside broadcast applications.
The Tektronix displays provide sharp traces without pixelation.
The waveform display can be presented on parade and overlay modes
in RGB, YPbPr, YRGB, or pseudo-composite formats.
Both fixed
and variable vertical gain are offered, each with the outstanding
accuracy and repeatability that comes from a fully digital design.
The Line Select provides a line marker in full screen and thumbnail
picture modes.
The vector display is offered with selectable
75% and 100% targets.
Each display automatically selects the
appropriate graticule based on the input format.
Picture Display
– Quick Visual Confirmation and Precision Content Adjustment
For a qualitative view of the content, a full-color picture
display is offered, which can be displayed as a full-screen presentation.
This display is compatible with all input formats and features automatic
adjustment for aspect ratio and number of active lines.
You
can select brightup conditions that show the location of RGB
or composite gamut errors on the picture display. The line-select
mode shows the location of the line currently selected within the
picture display.
Users can choose from several Safe Action
and Safe Title graticules on the picture display which help Editors
and Operators easily identify incorrectly positioned video content
such as graphics, titles, or logos.
Graticule choices include
the Safe Action and Safe Title graticules defined in SMPTE RP218,
ITU, and ARIB standards, plus two sets of totally flexible, user-definable
graticules.
These graticules facilitate editing tasks and reduce
the need for format conversions.
Alarms, Quality Statistics,
and Logging – Thorough and Fast Content Verification
The WVR5000 and WVR4000 offer a variety of displays designed
to show status at a glance, in addition to the status bar continually
displayed at the bottom of the screen.
A comprehensive overview
of the video content status is presented in the Video Session display.
Offering a time-based compilation of information, this screen is ideal
for presenting evidence of compliance after content screening. Information
on input format and session time is presented, along with statistics
on Error Detection and Handling (EDH) / Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)
and Gamut errors.
The Alarm Status display provides continuous
information on the state of each condition currently being monitored
by the instrument.
To support unattended monitoring applications,
as well as provide documentation for service level agreements, these
instruments maintain an error log of 10,000 events, which facilitates
the detection and correction of problems. Log entries are recorded
with date, time-of-day, and time code (VITC, LTC, ANC). The error
log can be downloaded to TXT or HTM formats for easy record keeping
and processing on spreadsheets or database software.
Digital
Audio Capabilities – Equipped Standard
Audio monitoring
capabilities for both digital AES and Embedded audio are available
as standard in the WVR5000 and WVR4000.
The instruments feature
Level Bars display and both Bars and Lissajous display. These displays
can be selected to provide monitoring for both embedded and AES digital
audio formats with up to eight channels (2 channels for AES Audio).
The level meters offer selectable meter ballistics and scaling
plus they are user configurable. The over and silence settings augment
digital clip and mute detection by letting users select levels to
represent these conditions in the analog audio domain.
The
Audio Session display records the highest true peak, as well as the
number of mutes, clips, overs, and silences during the session time.
Tektronix instruments provide accurate peak-level measurements.
