Product description The WFM5250 Waveform Monitor offers uncompromised monitoring quality with sharp CRT-like traces and SDI (SD/HD) and HDMI monitoring. Its other features include Gamut displays, picture thumbnail, display freeze, and an error log for 10,000 events for efficient content compliance verification. This portable video waveform monitor weighs less than 6.6 lb (3 kg) and provides a suitable solution for basic video monitoring needs in a convenient 3RU half-rack short depth form factor, suitable for space-constrained environments.The WFM5250 Compact Video Waveform Monitor features an integrated high-brightness, low-power consumption LED backlit display in a convenient 3RU, half-rack, short-depth form factor, suitable for space-constrained environments. This versatile instrument can accept power from a 12VDC source, a battery, or a 100 to 240VAC converter.Its SDI input provides multi-format support for HD-SDI (SMPTE 292), SD-SDI (ITU-R BT.601), and Dual Link (SMPTE 372) signal formats. The instrument provides automatic format detection for 3G/HD/SD-SDI on each input. The WFM5250 unit has HDMI inputs with HDCP support that can be connected to encrypted (HDCP) consumer devices for monitoring the video and audio signals.This instrument provides the reliability of the Tektronix waveform monitors family in a portable, basic monitoring product. - General

- See and Solve with Tektronix Displays
- See and Solve displays simplify video monitoring tasks such as calibration, error detection, and content correction allowing the user to detect errors at a glance and troubleshoot them efficientlyTektronix displays offer sharp CRT-like trace quality for clear waveform monitoring with the look and feel of an analog displayThe familiar video waveform display can show SD/HD/3G-SDI signals in RGB, YPbPr, YRGB, or pseudo compositeSignal components can be displayed in either Parade or Overlay modeWith several sweep rates and easy control of vertical gain and horizontal magnification, you can efficiently monitor and measure video waveform parametersSpecialized displays provide summarized yet comprehensive reports of alarms, session, and status of contentPowerful displays such as Video Status show a condensed view of error statistics, signal format, presence of ancillary data, and more, which simplify monitoring tasks by providing important content information at a glanceBlack and Frozen frame detection can be used to alert the operator to a problem in the transmission chain; these and other errors can automatically be logged in the Error Log and provided as a report
- Alarms, Quality Statistics, and Logging; Thorough and Fast Content Verification
- The WFM5250 unit offers a variety of displays designed to show status at a glance, in addition to the status bar continually displayed at the bottom of the screenA comprehensive overview of the video content status is presented in the Video Session display for both SDI and HDMI interfacesOffering a time-based compilation of information, this screen is suitable for presenting evidence of compliance after content screeningInformation on input format and session time is presented along with statistics on Error Detection and Handling (EDH) / Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), gamut errors, and Black / Freeze frame detectionFor an HDMI source, the HDMI formats (Colorimetry, Color space, Color depth, TMDS clock, HDMI/DVI ID, Pixel repetition rate, Quantization range), as well as HDCP status also presentedAn EDID information display helps diagnose connectivity issues when they occurAlarm Status display provides continuous information on the state of each condition currently being monitored by the instrumentTo support unattended monitoring and QC applications, as well as provide documentation for service-level agreements, this instrument maintains an error log of 10,000 events, which facilitates the detection and correction of problemsLog entries are recorded with date, time of day, and time code (VITC, LTC, ANC)Error log can be downloaded to a USB memory stick or through a network connection to .txt or .htm formats for easy record keeping and processing on spreadsheets or database software
- Picture Display: Quick Visual Confirmation and Precision Content Adjustment
- For a qualitative view of the content, a full-color Picture display is offered, which can be displayed as a full-screen presentationThis display is compatible with all input formats and features automatic adjustment for aspect ratio and number of active linesYou can select bright-up conditions that show the location of RGB or composite gamut errors on the Picture displayLine Select mode shows the location of the line currently selected within the Picture display
- Efficiently Detect and Allow Correction of Gamut Problems
- Diamond, Split Diamond, and Arrowhead displays simplify the process of verifying gamut compliance and are suitable for colorists, editors, and operators to visualize whether the content is RGB or Composite Gamut compliant with a single glanceThey are designed to help isolate the Out-of-Gamut component just as easilyFor SDI component content that is destined for broadcast in composite systems, the Arrowhead display can be used to monitor Composite Gamut compliance without the need for a separate encoderWithin this display, a separate upper and lower luma-only gamut limit can be appliedEach of these displays offers user-selectable gamut thresholds so operators can set monitoring limits appropriate to their specific operation and include a preset for EBU-R103Also select bright-up conditions to see the location of gamut errors on the Picture displayGamut monitoring is fully integrated with the alarm logging and reporting capabilities of the WFM5250 unit
- Facility Timing Made Easy
- Timing display clearly shows the timing offsets between HD and SD signals relative to the referenceThis display makes facility timing easy through a simple graphical representation that shows the relative timing of the input signal and the reference signal (or a saved offset reference) on an X-Y axisSimply adjust the timing of the equipment until the circle is within the center of the display for precise, direct measurements of vertical offset in number of lines and horizontal offset in μsLightning display shows luma and chroma amplitudes and helps users verify component timing using a color-bar signalBowtie display complements the timing measurement capability of the Lightning displayUsing a special Bowtie test signal in component format, this display helps make precise, accurate measurements of inter-channel amplitude and timing 2
