LEADER PHABRIX SDI ANALYSIS - Manual

The SDI analysis option provides the engineer with a detailed
view of the data words contained within the SDI stream. This
allows the analysis of complex faults and is particularly useful
when determining compatibility issues between equipment and
when debugging new product developments within an R&D
environment. Detail within the active SDI stream can be viewed
with continuous update. Analysis can be obtained from the
generated or received SDI stream allowing quick comparison
checks.
A number of screen displays are provided for analysis.
GRID
With reference to pixels at the top of the screen and lines along
the left side of the screen, users can look within an x, y grid of
pixel and ancillary data. Samples can be viewed as 8 or 10 bit, hex
or decimal. Navigation is simple and fast using the thumb pad with
the selected value highlighted in white. A separate entry box
allows a specific line and sample to be selected. Both
the background and foreground text colours are coded for ease of
identification. The background colour at any time represents the
FVH bits within the TRS words. In this way the operator can
determine if a data element is active picture, vertical blanking,
horizontal blanking, field 1, field 2 or TRS. The foreground colour
gives an indication of the type of pixel data being viewed – Y, Cb,
Cr, R, G or B.
STREAM
This allows the SDI continuous stream to be viewed. SD-SDI
signals are represented by a 10 bit stream and HD/3G-SDI by a 20
bit stream. A further column provides information to aid the user in
identifying data types.
COMPONENT
The component view splits the display into 3 columns displaying Y,
Cb and Cr data as10/8 bit, hex or decimal.
SPLIT
This mode splits the SDI stream further into the components ‘Cb Y
Cr Y’ as 10/8 bit, binary, hex or decimal.
ANCILLARY DATA
This separate window allows the user to capture whole Ancillary
data packets identified by their data id (DID). Entering a known
DID value or by selecting its descriptive text, the Ancillary packet
will be continuously displayed if present within the SDI signal. Data
values containing errors found will be displayed in red text. The
data may be frozen on screen once captured. There is also a
freeze on error check box.
