4-12
PAL
The 1761 uses a series of dot s around the compass rose with
a single dot in a blanked area to denote sync (see Figure 4-8).
Place the burst vector at 0°, align the burst vectors with the
graticule markings, and read the
SC/H phase error as the
amount of sync dot offset from the the horizontal axis. The
input signal and the the
EXT REF signal are properly color
framed when the sync dot is within 90° of the burst ve ctor.
VECTOR PHASE
Figure 4-8. PAL SC/H display.
S C / H R --- Y
SC/H phase can be viewed over a frame of video. Select
WAVEFORM display and FIELD sweep. E nter the FILTER menu
and select
S C / H R --- Y. For NTSC, stable SC/H is a horizontal
line as shown in Figure 4-10. (Figure 4-9 shows the same
display with a
LINE sweep selected.) A sample SC/H phase
error is shown in Figure 4-11. The flat lines indicate that
SC/H phase is stable over the entire frame. For PAL, SC/H is
a sine wave resulting from the 25 Hz offset (Figure 4-12).
