Getting Started
Your instrument shipped with a CD containing various user documents and a
printed manual with power-on, installation, and accessories information. That
manual is also available online at www.tektronix.com/downloads. This User
manual contains information about operating your instrument.
This chapter will help you set up and begin to use the instrument. It is divided
into the following four sections:
Key Features describes your instrument and provides a list of and key
features.
Options tells you where to go for a list of available options.
Network Installation shows you how to set up your instrument on an
Ethernetnetwork.
Incoming Inspection provides a procedure for verifying the basic operation
and functionality of your instrument.
Key Features
The WVR5200 Waveform Rasterizer is a portable, 1 RU half-rack, short-depth
rasterizer that provides comprehensive video and embedded audio features across
3 Gb/s, SD, and HD signal formats. This instrument provides an ideal solution for
basic video and audio (with Option AUD) monitoring needs with a form factor
suitable for space-constrained environments.
The following key features make this instrument an easy to use, flexible, and
effective tool.
Item Description
Flexible tile displays:
Full and Quad Tile
Quad Tile (4-Tile): View four measurement displays at once, one
in each tile.
In Quad Tile mode, the display provides four concurrent views of a
monitored signal (with a maximum of two trace displays at once).
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.
Full: View the active display full screen.
TandemVu® Patented display allows you to overlay the Waveform and Vector
or Waveform and Lightning displays, plus Picture Thumbnail, in
a single, full-tile display.
WVR5200 Waveform Rasterizer User Manual 1

Getting Started
Item Description
Multi-Input Display The Multi-Input Display mode allows you to simultaneously view up
to four SDI inputs of the same format. The feature is available in
Waveform, Vector, Lightning, Diamond, Split Diamond, Arrowhead,
and Spearhead displays. If you are monitoring a 2xHD Level B
3 Gb/s signal, you can select to view the streams of that signal
individually.
Presets Customizable presets allow you to quickly save and recall
commonly used configurations.
Digital support Support for digital applications.
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. This display type allows you to use the Multi-Input Display
feature.
Vector display Vector display with Composite and Component Compass Rose
Graticules, and gain, sweep, and magnification controls. Traditional
and Lightning Vector displays are available. The latter visualizes
both luma and chroma amplitudes, and quantifies inter-channel
timing. This display type allows you to use the Multi-Input Display
feature.
Spearhead and
LQV™ (luma qualified
vector) display (Option
PROD)
Vector display that is gated by a specified luminance range. Each
vector tile may have a different luminance range specified. This
display type allows you to use the Multi-Input Display feature.
Stereoscopic 3D
video displays (Option
S3D)
These displays for camera alignment and
production/post-production applications help to quickly
resolve difficult content quality and reliability issues. (Option S3D)
Infinite Persistence All trace displays can also be set, tile by tile, to Infinite Persistence.
This mode traces waveforms over time on the same display,
providing a visual history of the trace.
Gamut monitoring Arrowhead, Spearhead, Diamond, Split Diamond, and 3D Quad
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. This display type allows you to use the
Multi-Input Display feature.
LTC waveform display Longitudinal Time Code (LTC) is monitored in a frame rate display
to allow observation of amplitude and noise, and verify LTC is
locked to the video.
External Reference
Waveform display
The External Reference waveform display check the external
reference signal integrity, including its shape and amplitude. This
display is independent of the input video signal.

information overlaid on the picture (monitor mode). There are also
settings for missing or incorrectly inserted closed captioning.
Picture area Support for standard and custom Safe Graticules for Picture
displays that look for incorrect placements of graphics, logos, Black
events, and Frozen events. Two Safe Area graticules and Safe
Title graticules are supported.
Status screens Status screens provide content status at a glance.
Error tracking Configurable alarms and error logging.
