System Integration
The WFM6100, WFM7000, and WFM7100 Waveform Monitors offer the
monitoring capabilities needed in the production, post-production, distribution,
and transmission of high-definition (HD) and standard-definition (SD) digital
video content. With available digital audio monitoring support, you can expand
the capabilities to monitor both digital video and audio in a single instrument.
The following table lists the available waveform monitor models. The illustra-
tions on the following pages show the front panel of the waveform monitor, and
also show the rear panel of the waveform monitor when Option EYE or PHY is
not installed and when one of the two options is installed. The location of the
SDI video connectors changes when Option EYE or PHY is installed.

Installation Considerations
The waveform monitor is shipped in a wrap-around chassis that covers the
instrument bottom and two sides. A cover is installed on the chassis, and the rear
panel is made up of the module rear panels.
You can operate the waveform monitor in the instrument chassis (be sure the top
cover is on) or installed in an approved portable cabinet or rack adapter. (See
page 15, Rackmount Installation.) You can also install the waveform monitor in
a custom installation, such as a console.
CAUTION. To prevent damage to the waveform monitor and the cabinet, do not
install the waveform monitor in any cabinet except those that are approved by
Tektronix, such as the WFM7F02 and WFM7F05.
If you install the waveform monitor in a custom application, such as a console,
be sure to provide adequate airflow. Follow these guidelines:
HDo not block the ventilating holes.
HAdhere to the clearance requirements. (See Table 2 on page 6.)
Power and Environmental Specifications
The waveform monitor operates from a single-phase power source with the
neutral conductor at or near earth ground. The line conductor is fused for
over-current protection. A protective ground connection through the grounding
conductor in the power cord is essential for safe operation.
NOTE. Power systems with both current-carrying conductors live with respect to
ground (such as phase-to-phase in multiphase systems) are not recommended as
power sources.
The waveform monitor does not need any power configuration, except for using
the proper power cord for your installation site. Refer to the WFM6100,
WFM7000, and WFM7100 Waveform Monitors Quick Start User Manual for a
list of the available power cords.
To connect power to the waveform monitor, insert the supplied power cord into
the rear-panel power connector. There is no power switch on the waveform
monitor, so the instrument will turn on as soon as you apply power.
