Adapting test & measurement tools for UHD (12G-SDI)
New test & measurement tools for UHD (12G-SDI)
with Pathological signals
Eye & Jitter
Physical layer testing is especially important with 12G-SDI in view of the greater cable length sensitivity & unforgiving nature of UHD
Eye & Jitter testing for UHD (12G-SDI)
Real time, multi rate eye RTETM, 12G, 6G, 3G, HD-SDI >30GHz analogue bandwidth (5x 6GHz fundamental)
SMPTE compliance measurements:
Instant, accurate readings
RTETM 12G Eye & Jitter analysis for UHD
Jitter analysis for UHD (12G-SDI)
frequency bands
eye pattern for higher frequency jitter – above 20MHz SMPTE RP184-2015: Specification of Jitter in Bit-Serial Digital Systems SMPTE RP192-2015: Jitter Measurement Procedures In Bit-Serial Digital Interfaces
Jitter measurements – beware!
Be aware of instrument noise floors, filter pass band & cut-off rates, upper measurement limits, measurement algorithms & calibration Measurements taken from different instruments will be different
SMPTE RP 198-1998 Pathological signals are recommended by SMPTE for use with SD, HD & 3G standards only Not yet approved by SMPTE for 6G
… may take a few more years for approval!
Pathological signals for UHD (6G and 12G-SDI)
Established method adopted for the stress testing of SDI interfaces
New pathological tools for Qx
With pathological patterns, the pathological signal only occurs statistically every 512 lines! A new tool will provide feedback of pathological conditions on the interface with GPI trigger output Checkfield, PLL and EQ testing
Pathological Checkfield Overlay developed by PHABRIX with major SDI chip manufacturer co-
Used to verify how sensitive the SDI link is to pathological conditions on the interface
