Page 29: Glossary
Checkfield A Checkfield signal is a special test signal that stresses particular aspects of serial digital transmission. The performance of the Phase Locked-Loops (PLLs) in an SDI receiver must be able to tolerate long www.ensembledesigns.com BrightEye 72 - Page 29... - Page 30 Thus, dBm refers to power relative to 1 milliwatt, and dBu refers to voltage relative to .775V RMS. The original unit of measure was the Bel (10 times bigger), named after Alexander Graham Bell. www.ensembledesigns.com BrightEye 72 - Page 30...
- Page 31 A synchronizer will not convert an NTSC signal to a PAL signal; it takes a standards converter to do that. Frequency Response A measurement of the accuracy of a system to carry or reproduce a range of signal frequencies. Similar to Bandwidth. www.ensembledesigns.com BrightEye 72 - Page 31...
- Page 32 Some bits come slightly early, other come slightly late. The measurement of this jitter is given either as the amount of time uncertainty or as the fraction of a bit width. For 270 Mb/s video, the allowable jitter is 740 picoseconds, or 0.2 UI (Unit Interval – one bit width). www.ensembledesigns.com BrightEye 72 - Page 32...
