147. yed Relative to Rear Panel Circle will be in the center when input Rel to Ral to Rear Panel Saved Offset NOTE As you adjust timing the circle representing the input timing may jump occasionally This is because the color frame detection circuit can be temporarily disrupted as the signal shifts The jump is often a multiple of the field time The circle will settle back to the correct location in a second or so Usage Notes m The resolution of the timing display for Composite and SD signals is one 27 MHz clock cycle or 37 ns For HD signals it Is one clock at 74 25 MHz which equates to about 13 5 ns To get the greater accuracy needed for a composite Signal frst use the timing display to get close then use a vector display for the fnal burst phase alignment Since the waveform monitor can display both the timing display and a vector display simultaneously each in its own tile this process can still be easy and quick 98 Quick Start User Manual Timing a Studio m For composite signals the defnition of time aligned is obvious but for an SDI input relative to a analog reference the Situation is more complex For the timing display the defnition of zero offset on an SDI input uses the methodology described in SMPTE RP168 This method specifes the SDI signal will be converted to analog The converted analog Signal is then compared to the analog reference For the conversion a D A converter with delay of about three microse
