Use Line Select to isolate and individual line within the image.

Gain and MAG adjustment allow for adjustment of color offset in the blacks at the center of trace.

Easily identify the color component with Pb in the upper half and Pr in lower half. With luma in the vertical axis and chroma in the horizontal axis. In this case the Pb component is missing.

Using color bars a bending of the Green Magenta transition can indicate an inter-channel timing error within a specific component of the signal.

With a camera grey scale chart a deviation in the lower half of the display shows a red offset in the image.

Full screen picture display showing currently selected input signal. In this case, this is camera RAW footage and so it appears to be low contrast and desaturated. For camera RAW and HDR inputs a gamma transfer function and color space conversion can be applied with option PROD.

Closed Captions or subtitles can be decoded and displayed in CEA 608/708 or OP47/ST2031 with the ENG-QC option.

AFD information and graticule can be overlaid within the picture display. Additionally, the user can configure safe area graticules along with a center marker that can be used to help operators compose the image.

For HDR the False Color overlay can be used to identify the luma level of the signal with user defined limits for each color overlay with option PROD.

For HDR application determine the Area above the reference white threshold is critical with user thresholds and simple color overlays available in option PROD.

Lightmeter provides relative exposure values in Stops or Nits with up to five cursors that can be position within the image available with option PROD.

The audio display can be configured for a variety of audio programs, Mono, Stereo, 5.1, 7.1, 5.1.4 and 7.1.4 (up to 32 channels for 8K format and 16 channels for IP and other SDI formats).

A selected audio program can be monitored with headphone with down mix / solo mode. The audio session display provides information on a variety of parameters for audio level, clips, mute, silence and peaks with event logging.

The Loudness measurement can sum a number of audio bars to produce the overall short and Infinite loudness values. Configurations are available for EBU R128 or ATSC A/85 with or without Dialog Intelligence. Option DLBY is required to decode Dolby E and D/D+ formats.

The RTW Surround sound display is available with option SRND. This display provides level and phase information for the interaction of multi-channel audio for Left, Right , Center, Left and Right Surround channels.

The RTW Surround sound display for 5.1.4 and 7.1.4 multi-channel audio displays Main / Upper bed display with dominance indicator in a tile.

Audio display can be selected in two tiles to display Main / Upper bed display separately for intuitive immersive audio monitoring.

The Timing rectangle window represent the video frame. The Crosshairs shows the timing Center and the circle shows the offset timing of the input signal relative to the reference that is selectable between Black Burst, Tri-Level Sync or Precision Time Protocol (PTP).

With Quad input the Inter-Channel Timing can be shown for the reference signal A against the other inputs B,C and D.

The Timing display can show the offset between the input signal and the reference. In this case we have IP input with a Precision Time Protocol reference showing Domain and Grandmaster ID.

The IP Status provides indication of the amount of data used on each SFP Port 1 & 2. Simple Green, Yellow and Red indicators can alert the user to issues with a stream.

The IP Status provides information on Protocol, Bitrate, Payload Type, IP and MAC Addresses.

Scrolling to the right of the IP Status window shows PTP domain, RTP marker frequency.

The PIT Histogram can be configured to show Video, Audio or Data streams for ST 2110. Here a characteristic PIT Histogram of a ST 2110-20 Gapped sender is shown for Path 1-2.

This PIT Histogram shows the characteristics of a Linear Wide Sender that has wide distribution of packets shown by the Min and Max values.

This image shows the PIT Histogram of an Audio Sender being received by PRISM. In this case the Mean packet distribution is 1ms giving an indication of the type of audio being sent.

The Video tab shows the Video-PTP offset which is a graphical plot of the Timing displays variation. The Video-RTP offset shows timing of the received signal relative to the embedded RTP time stamp.

The Audio tab shows the Aud-Video offset that can indicate the amount of delay that must be applied to realign the signals. The Aud-RTP offset shows the timing of the audio stream relative to the embedded RTP time stamps.

The Data tab shows the Data-Vid offset indicating the relative delay between the data and video stream. In order to realign the signals the delay amount should be applied.

A Rainbow test pattern was applied to the input that contains all the RGB values. The input was configured for 2020 colorspace and the signal fills the 2020 graticule triangle.

The input was configured for 709 colorspace and a Rainbow test signal was applied containing all the RGB values. You can see the 709 triangle is filled with all the possible colors.

This CIE display is configured for 2020 colorspace with a 12G UHD SDI signal that has been constrained into a P3 colorspace.

The CAM display shows four SDI inputs parade side by side in this case in YRGB format. This display is ideal for camera shading application and allows for comparison of the input levels of each input signal. A thumbnail image helps identify the content of the input signals and on-screen labels aids the user in determining the format of the signal.

Here a parade of the RGB signal for each input is provided to allow the operator to check the levels and balance of each input. The trace display is maximized when the thumbnail is not enabled within the display.

Using the Telestream Stop display with a parade of the four SDI inputs as Y only traces. Graticule lines are shown in Nits with two times gain to maximum the trace between 203 Nits and 1000 Nits to aid the operator in adjusting the reference white level between the sources.

When the Channel Use mode of Professional is used the instrument automatically decodes the syntax as shown above.

Scrolling horizontally allows the user to see and compare the various embedded audio groups for each of the audio signals present. AES Channel status provides syntax information for parameters such as Emphasis, Locking of Source, Sampling Frequency, Channel Mode and Audio Word Length.

Using the flexible display configurations within PRISM a two-tile display each configured with AES Channel Status displays allows the user to scroll through the syntax information group by group. Allowing the user to easily compare AES Channel Status information for each group that can aid in troubleshooting issues.

The ANC Session Watchlist provide a list of the ANC data packets that are present within the signal showing the DID, SDID, Location and Occurrence within the frame or field. Notes provides additional information on the syntax of the packet.

Simple indicators (Red, Yellow, Green) can be used to identify issues within the ANC packets. Green indicates ANC packet is present and valid. Yellow indicates that the ANC packet was present and shows the last occurrence. Red indicates an error.

SCTE 104 messaging provides a method to indicate when a splice point should occur within the program. This information is carried within an ANC packet with DID 41 & SDID 07. The SCTE 104 tab shows interpretation of the User Data Words.

A 3G SDI signal has been applied to PRISM from a test signal source and the resulting 2 line jitter display is shown. The 10Hz Timing filter has been applied and the resulting automated peak to peak jitter is shown.

Various filters can be applied from 10Hz to 100kHz to assess which bandwidths the jitter is present within. Timing jitter uses the 10Hz filter while Alignment jitter uses the 100kHz filter. In this case the Timing jitter filter is applied and the peak to peak jitter value can be measured.

In this case the 100kHz Alignment filter has been applied to the same 12G SDI signal and the resulting peak to peak jitter measurement can be obtained.

The ST 2110 IP Generator can be configured with a 100% color bar test signal in a variety of video formats. The user can enable one or both SFP port to generate the signal with user configured IP address and Payload Type as a Gapped or Narrow sender.

The audio tone generator can produce a 1kHz tone at -18 or -20dBFS or multiple frequency tone and at various levels. The packet time can be varied between 125 µs or 1ms with user configured IP address and Payload Type.

The IP Generator display shows the status of the configuration for the Transport, Video and Audio. The test signal can either be static or scroll horizontally.
