Page 111: Checking Chroma/Luma Delay (Lightning Display)
Checking Chroma/Luma Delay (Lightning Display) The Lightning display can be used for interchannel timing measurements. If the color-difference signal is not coincident with luma, the transitions between the color dots will deviate from the center mark of a delay scale. The amount deviated represents the relative signal delay between luma and the color-difference signal.
Page 112 Checking Chroma/Luma Delay (Lightning Display) Figure 45: Determining transition intersections in the Lightning display The + tic marks on the graticule indicate the following timing errors: 1080p 50, 59.94, 60, 3Gbps (3 Gb/s and dual link formats) Timing error Tic mark SD Timing error (ns) HD Timing error (ns) (ns)
Page 113: Checking Gamut
Checking Gamut Checking Gamut Signals that are legal and valid in one signal representation may not be legal in another representation. Speciﬁcally, signals which are legal in the Digital YCbCr representation may not be legal if transcoded to RGB or encoded to NTSC / PAL. Any signal that fails this test is considered out of gamut.

Page 115 Checking Gamut For a signal to be in gamut, all signal vectors must lie within the G-B and G-R diamonds. Conversely, if a signal vector extends outside the diamond, it is out of gamut. The direction of an excursion out of gamut indicates which signal is excessive.
Page 116 Checking Gamut B > 700 mV Example C: R - Ok G - Ok, 350 mV B < 0 mV Figure 47: Out-of-gamut examples Usage Notes As with the lightning display, bending of the transitions indicates timing delays. When a color bar signal is applied, the vertical axis becomes an indicator of delay errors.
Page 117: Checking Composite Gamut
Checking Gamut Checking Composite Gamut The Arrowhead gamut display plots luminance (Y) against chrominance (C) to check if the composite signal adheres to standard gamut. NTSC and PAL Arrowhead displays (75% Color bars) and indicates the values of the graticule lines.

Page 152 Application Example To time the inputs to a router. 1. Perform steps 1 through 5 of the previous procedure. 2. Route the signal you want as the master to the appropriate input, SDI or Composite, and terminate properly. 3. Route the reference signal to the reference input and terminate appropriately. 4.
Page 153 Application Example 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.
