Automated Video Measurement Set

VM5000

The VM5000 automates video testing

of consumer HDTV and PC graphics

devices such as digital set-top boxes,

multi-media PCs, graphics cards and

video semiconductors. It addresses the

needs of engineers developing and

deploying the next generation of video

devices for the digitally connected home.

Unrivaled performance in terms of speed,

accuracy and reliability has made the

VM5000 the choice of industry leaders

for design validation, quality control and

ATE applications.

Unlike conventional instruments, the

VM5000 integrates acquisition hardware,

optimized video measurement algorithms,

test signal files and accessories into a

cohesive test system solution. Product

verification activities that previously took

hours or days to complete can now be

completed in seconds or minutes.

Offering near plug-and-play video meas-

urement capability, even unskilled operators

can reliably assess video output signal

quality. The conformance of signals to

specifications is reported with obvious

pass or fail results, with signal distortions

clearly identified for further analysis.

The VM5000 stands alone as the only

automatic video analyzer capable of

supporting SD, HDTV and PC graphics

signal formats. Offering a full 1 GHz band-

width and 5 GS/s sample rate, the VM5000

is well suited to the demands of measuring

high-resolution HDTV and high-frequency

PC graphics video signals. Traditional

DTV formats from 480i through 1080i

and either RGB or YPbPr color space are

supported in Options SD and HD. Option

VGA supports common analog RGBHV

signal resolutions from 640x480p through

2048x1536p, and pervasive refresh rates

from 50 Hz through 100 Hz.

The ultimate solution for component analog

video signal analysis, the VM5000 delivers

comprehensive characterization of video

fidelity, signal quality and standards compli-

ance. With available options, the instrument

automatically assesses conformance of

video signals to applicable EIA-770.x,

SMPTE-274M, 296M and VESA standards.

Traditional “TV” signal fidelity is evaluated

utilizing industry-accepted parameters,

making 150 individual measurements

automatically in less than 15 seconds.

PC graphics signal fidelity is assessed

via comprehensive RGB video and HV

sync measurement parameters made in

accordance with VSIS test procedures.
