The analysis option for the PHABRIX
®
SxE adds an additional
jitter screen plus enhancements to the eye display and is
focussed toward broadcast manufacturers who have a need for
high end analysis tools.
HISTOGRAMS
Histograms give statistical information which can be used to
accurately measure rise time, fall time and amplitude. These
automatic accurate measurements can then be logged for
extended periods of time. Measurements like rise time and fall
time are notoriously difficult to make with SDI signals and here the
PHABRIX SxE excels, providing user friendly automatic
measurements even in the presence of excessive jitter.
DECADE FILTERS
In addition to the standard timing and alignment jitter filters,
decade filters are provided allowing an engineer to analyse the
frequency content of any jitter present. The number of eyes
displayed is adjustable from one eye up to one frame of eyes – a
useful feature for detecting source related power supply problems.
MULTIPLE EYE DISPLAY
Multiple eye selection also enables analysis when serialiser jitter
is present: Products process video in either a 10 or 20 bit parallel
data domain which is subsequently transmitted as a single bit
serial data stream. By triggering every 10 or 20 eyes you can
reveal repetitive parallel/serial clock domain jitter in equipment
being analysed.
FULL SCREEN JITTER DISPLAY
The separate jitter analysis screen incorporated into the advanced
option enables the engineer to analyse the nature of jitter present
using a graph of jitter versus time. Again, the decade filters are
present and the time base can be adjusted from 1 line through to
1 frame. By analysing jitter in this detailed way an engineer can
determine if a signal is in or out of specification and also get a feel
for where any problems lie. A spiky waveform could indicate
power supply noise and these visual clues aid the diagnosis.
Vertical gain and horizontal magnify controls are provided to help
further identify problems.
