25. Option PHY NOTE Many jitter problems in systems have resulted from genlocking clocks to other references such as the horizontal synchronization pulse Reference jitter transferred by genlocks into a serial system is typically between 20 and several hundred Hertz Also the phase detection process used by the genlock can add noise which results in jitter in the 10 Hz to 1 kHz range Use the appropriate BW Limit filter selection to include or reject genlock jitter from a measurement The simplest way to measure jitter is to use the jitter readout and jitter thermometer in the Eye display or SDI Status display These are derived from the jitter waveform For more qualitative jitter information use the Eye and Jitter displays to view the presence and magnitude of jitter and its potential for causing data errors as the eye closes The Jitter display provides further analysis information including added time domain information such as the wave shape of the jitter and whether there are jitter components that are synchronous or nearly synchronous to the video line or frame these components appear as stationary or near stationary artifacts in line or field sweeps Looking at jitter in both displays can help you separate jitter sources to determine whether they are within a single circuit on a circuit board or from various pieces of equipment in a system If you are planning a composite D A conversion select the 10 Hz bandwidth filter to measure

Measure WFMB8200 and WFM8300 Waveform Monitors Application Example Usage notes The resolution of the timing display is one 27 MHz clock cycle or 37 ns for Composite and SD video To get the greater accuracy needed for a composite signal first use the timing display to get close and then use a vector display for the final burst phase alignment Since these two displays can be present simultaneously in separate tiles this process is still easy and quick For composite signals the definition of time aligned is straight forward but for an SDI input relative to an analog reference the situation is more complex For the timing display the definition of zero offset on an SDI input assumes the SDI signal will be converted to composite The converted composite signal is then compared to the analog reference For the conversion a half band filter with a 33 clock cycle delay and an analog reconstruction filter are assumed This conversion introduces a delay of about 3 us In the Relative to Rear Panel mode this 3 us conversion delay is removed from the measured offset before the display is generated In the Relative to Saved Offset mode it has no effect This timing relationship between input and reference is also compatible with the waveform mode That is if you have zero timing on the Timing display and change from internal to external reference the displayed waveform will not shift position When timing analog composite
