1. Show Measure Quick Start User Manual Timing a Studio Timing a Studio Timing a studio involves adjusting the references going to different sources so that their output feeds have the same timing when they arrive a common point such as a production switcher For digital systems the timing typically only needs to be close because most switchers have some tolerance to timing errors For analog composite systems the timing may need to be matched within a small part of a subcarrier cycle to prevent hue shifts when switching between sources The waveform monitor supports multiple methods and techniques of timing a studio All of these methods require an external reference to the waveform monitors Using the Timing Display Method The Tektronix proprietary Timing Display patent pending provides an easy to use measure of the timing of an input relative to the external reference The rectangular display automatically scales to match the input signal For progressive signals the display represents one field for interlace signals the display represents one frame and for composite inputs the display represents one color frame The cross hair in the center represents zero offset and the circle represents the timing of the input signal Lines of advance or delay are shown as vertical displacement while timing errors of less than one line are shown as horizontal displacement If the input is at the same time as the reference then the c
