21. For the timing display three definitions of zero offset on an SDI input are supported Analog DAC and Serial 0H and Saved Offset The Analog DAC setting uses the methodology illustrated in appendix B of SMPTE RP168 This method shows the SDI signal being converted to analog The converted analog signal is then compared to the analog reference For this mode the nominal delay of the D to A converter is assumed to be 4 6 microseconds for SD 1 3 us for HD and 0 0 us for 3 Gb The 0 0 us delay for 3 Gb means the Analog DAC and Serial OH modes are equivalent for 3 Gb signals WFM2200 Waveform Monitor amp Generator User Manual Application examples The Serial 0H setting uses the methodology implied in appendix A of SMPTE RP168 In this mode timing is considered to be zero when the 0H sample of the serial stream aligns with the reference edge of the analog sync Note that this timing is actually at the scrambled interface which is slightly different than timing to the parallel data into the serializer or the parallel data out of the deserializer due to delays in those functions m In the Relative to Rear Panel mode this 3 us conversion delay is removed from the measured offset before the display is generated In the Relative to Saved Offset mode it has no effect In the Relative to Saved Offset mode the timing of one signal is saved and then that becomes zero for subsequent measurements This removes any ne
