Product Description The Tektronix WVR 500 is a half-rack wide, one rack unit high, rasterizing television waveform/vector/picture monitor with NTSC and PAL capability. Without a built-in display device, it outputs a display signal that can be connected to a remote monitor or video switcher. Traditional applications for this monitor include areas of production, postproduction, and transmission of television signals. Untraditional applications include remote video monitoring of unmanned video uplinks/downlinks and television transmitters. Key Features The WVR500 utilizes the following key features: Rasterized output which can display the waveform/vector/picture monitor displays simultaneously Menu-assisted monitoring operation Two channels of video inputs and two video outputs Complete instrument operation possible through the RS-232 remote port Amplitude alarm for the waveform display Ability to store/recall four instrument setups Adjustable signal and graticule display colors Instrument calibration performed from the front panel Universal power supply automatically accommodating AC supplies from 90–250 V, 50–60 Hz Rasterized Display. The WVR 500 utilizes a proprietary rasterizer which displays analog-like waveforms and vectors and the remote monitor simultaneously with the appropriate measurement graticule. The rasterized waveform and vector displays can fill the entire display or be reduced to 1/4-screen sized windows over the picture display. The reduced windows can be made transparent for complete viewing of the picture display. Menus. The WVR 500 menus use a combination of on-screen readout and multi-use buttons, in conjunction with a general-purpose adjustment knob, to control most of its monitoring functions. RS–232 Port. The RS-232 remote connector enables remote instrument operation. All front-panel controls and menu selections can be operated through this port. Alarm Mode. For the waveform monitor display only, there is an Alarm mode which highlights any portion of the displayed signal that exceeds the 100 IRE (1.0 V PAL) graticule line. Calibration. The WVR 500 can be calibrated entirely from the front panel after the movement of an internal jumper. Refer to the WVR500 Waveform/Vector Monitor Service Manual for instructions on how to calibrate the instrument.
