Pollution Degree Description
A measure of the contaminants that could occur in the environment around and within a product. Typically the internal
environment inside a product is considered to be the same as the external. Products should be used only in the environment
for which they are rated.
Pollution Degree 1. No pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs. Products in this category are generally
encapsulated, hermetically sealed, or located in clean rooms.
Pollution Degree 2. Normally only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs. Occasionally a temporary conductivity that is
caused by condensation must be expected. This location is a typical office/home environment. Temporary condensation
occurs only when the product is out of service.
Pollution Degree 3. Conductive pollution, or dry, nonconductive pollution that becomes conductive due to condensation.
These are sheltered locations where neither temperature nor humidity is controlled. The area is protected from direct
sunshine, rain, or direct wind.
Pollution Degree 4. Pollution that generates persistent conductivity through conductive dust, rain, or snow. Typical
outdoor locations.

Key Features
Tektronix waveform rasterizers can help you monitor and measure SD SDI, HD SDI, and/or composite analog signals. All
instrument models come standard with SD SDI input monitoring capabilities. The following table includes key features
availableons
tandard equipped instruments. If a feature requires a specific option, the required option is noted.
Feature Description
FlexVu™display The FlexVu™ display is a four-tiled, high-resolution XGA display that provides four
concurrent views of a monitored signal. The instrument also provides the flexibility to
configure each of the four display tiles independently, enabling you to quickly check
the integrity of a signal. For instruments with the simultaneous input monitoring
(Option SIM) capability, the FlexVu™ display allows for the monitoring of two signals
at the same time, dividing the display into two sides: one for each signal.
Presets Customizable presets allow you to quickly save and recall commonly used
configurations.
Digital and analog support Support for digital applications. Analog support is available with optional
composite-analog monitoring (Option CPS).
Fully digital processing Fully Digital Processing allows for accurate, repeatable, drift-free operation that
surpasses traditional analog designs.
Waveform display Traditional waveform displays allow signals to be overlaid or paraded.
Vector display Vector display with Composite and Component Compass Rose Graticules, as
well as gain, sweep, and magnification controls. Traditional and Lightning Vector
displays are available. The latter visualizes both luma and chroma amplitudes,
as well as quantify inter-channel timing.
Gamut monitoring Arrowhead, Diamond, and Split Diamond displays offer user-selectable gamut
thresholds so that you can set monitoring limits appropriate to a specific operation.
Gamut monitoring is fully integrated with the alarm logging and reporting capabilities.
Timing and LTC waveform displays Longitudinal Time Code (LTC) is monitored in a frame rate display to allow
observation of amplitude, synchronization and phase with respect to reference
vertical interval time code (VITC).
Waveform Rasterizers Quick Start User Manual ix

Preface
Feature Description
Surround Sound display of audio signals and phase relationships of normal channel
pairs.
Lissajous display lets you monitor a user-specified pairing of channel inputs.
Support and options for viewing and monitoring both levels of normal channel pairs
for AES, analog, embedded audio, and Dolby signals (Dolby support available with
the WVR6020 and WVR7120, only).
Audio monitoring
Loudness measurement, audio control packet coding, and many popular audio
scales, including BBC scales, are also supported.
Ancillary data monitoring Support for monitoring ancillary data including data conforming to ARIB standards
and EIA608 Extended Data Services (XDS).
Closed Captioning support Support for decode and display of CC standards (EIA 608 (VBI), EIA 608 (ANC),
EIA (608/708), EIA 708, TeletextB (VBI), TeletextB OP47 SDP (ANC), and TeletexB
OP47 Multi (ANC)) with caption text and V-chip information overlaid on the picture
(monitor mode) or on Status, Alarm, or Error screens. There are also settings for
missing (incorrectly inserted) closed captioning.
Picture areaSupport for standard and custom Safe Graticules for Picture displays for monitoring
for incorrect placements of graphics, logos. Two Safe Area graticules and Safe
Title graticules are supported.
Status screens Status screens provide content status at a glance.
Physical measurements (Option EYE and PHY only) Verification and automatic measurement of the electrical
characteristics of the SDI physical layer. An Eye display lets you use the graticule or
voltage and time cursors to measure the waveform. A Jitter waveform display shows
jitter and jitter thermometers provide two independent measurements of jitter and
one of cable loss, and relates those measurements to defined alarm limits.
Error tracking Configurable alarms and error logging.
Remote control Full remote control for complete installation flexibility.

Installation
Rackmount Installation
Install your instrument into a standard instrumentation rack. The following procedure will help you do this for both the
standard instrument configuration and for instruments configured with the remote front panel option.
Your instrument ships with hardware for
rackmounting and fits in a standard 19-inch
rack. Requirements of the rack follow:
Spacing between the front rails must be
at least 17-¾ inches.
Front-to-rear rail spacing must be
between 15-½ and 28 inches.
Six inches of clearance between the
instrument rear panel and any rear
cabinet panel for connector space and to
provide adequate air circulation.
Instrument dimensions are shown at
right.
Mounting the Slide Tracks
This procedure covers rear rail mounting details for both deep and shallow racks.
1. Mount the rails using the enclosed
hardware as shown at right.
NOTE. Right hand and left hand stationary
section is designated by the RH and the LH
marked on the rails. Stop latch holes should
be towards the bottom when slides are in
place. (The right hand rail is shown.)
Waveform Rasterizers Quick Start User Manual 3

Installation
2. Screw-mount to the front rail as shown.
3. Install bar nut if the front rail mounting
hole is not tapped.
4. For a deep configuration, rear mount as
shown. Make sure that the stationary
sections are horizontally aligned, level,
and parallel.
5. Alternately, for a shallow configuration,
rear mount as shown. Make sure that
the stationary sections are horizontally
aligned, level, and parallel.
Rack Adjustments
If, after installation, the slide tracks bind, adjust the tracks as follows.
1. Slide the instrument out about 10 inches,
slightly loosen the screws holding the
tracks to the front rails, and allow the
tracks to seek an unbound position.
2. Retighten the screws and check the
tracks for smooth operation by sliding the
instrument in and out of the rack several
times.
