Preface

Preface
This manual describes installation and operation of the WVR6100, WVR7000, and WVR7100 Waveform Rasterizers. These
instruments rasterize serial digital video and composite video signals (depending on installed options) for an XGA display,
providing a new standard of display quality and flexibility. Basic operations and concepts are presented in this manual. For
more detailed information, see the online help on your waveform rasterizer.
NOTE. This manual supports and describes the WVR7100 and WVR6100 rasterizers that were shipped with
System-software version 2 and later. For earlier rasterizers that shipped with version 1 of the audio hardware, you can
upgrade your instruments to the newer software version. However, the new software version only supports the old audio
hardware with the original functionality with which it was shipped. You must upgrade to the new audio hardware to obtain
the new audio capabilities.
You should use this manual with earlier rasterizers only if you have upgraded to version 2 of the System software, and then
either upgraded to a new audio hardware or have no audio option installed. Otherwise, use the earlier version of the manual
that shipped with your rasterizer.

Key Features

The WVR6100, WVR7000, and WVR7100 use digital processing to ensure accurate, stable, and repeatable measurements,
and to provide a powerful monitoring solution for broadcasting, production, and post-production environments. The WVR7000
and WVR7100 base instruments monitor HD SDI inputs only; the WVR6100 base instrument monitors SD SDI inputs only.
The instruments can be ordered with various options that enable additional monitoring capabilities. (See page 2, Options.)
Key WVR6100, WVR7000, and WVR7100 features include:
FlexVu, a four-tiled, high-resolution, XGA display that enables you to quickly check the integrity of the signal, can present
four views of the signal simultaneously to monitor many aspects of the signal at the same time.
A menu-driven user interface that requires fewer keystrokes for the most common operations and five instrument Presets
for save and quick recall of commonly used configurations.
Support for digital and analog applications (the later when equipped with optional composite-analog monitoring).
Fully Digital Processing for accurate, repeatable, drift-free operation that surpasses traditional analog designs.
