Getting Started The Tektronix VITS100 NTSC VITS Inserter is a high quality signal generator designed to insert VITS (Vertical Interval Test Signals) into program video. It automatically switches to bypass mode in the event of power failure or loss of lock to the program video.
Page 20
The VITS inserter can also insert a one-line source identification code on any of the available lines in vertical blanking. The Tektronix VM700A Video Measure- ment Set can then use this code to identify the source of the signal it is measur- ing.

8. Configure the waveform monitor line-select feature to view one line at a time. Check lines 17 through 20 of fields 1 and 2 for test signals. Tables 1–1 through 1–3 list the signals generated and inserted by a new VITS100 NTSC VITS Inserter with the as-manufactured configuration. See the Specifications Section of this manual or Appendix A: Options for diagrams of the signal waveforms.

Operating Basics The VITS100 NTSC VITS Inserter can generate any one of thirteen test signals for insertion on lines 17 through 20 in the vertical interval of the video frame. If power fails or the instrument cannot genlock, the VITS inserter automatically switches to bypass mode.
