2 TSG 601 User Manual
Operating Basics Thank you for choosing the Tektronix TSG 601—and thank you for reading this manual. To begin using the instrument as quickly as possible, see “Using your TSG 601,” beginning on page 5. For even more information on selected topics, turn to “Details,” on page 17. First, though, read the next section for tips on supplying power to the instrument. Powering the Instrument The TSG 601 is DC powered. You may power it with the standard AC adapter, the optional 9.
Operating Basics ment by sliding the compartment door in the direction of the inscribed arrow until the door tabs line up with the slots in the case, then remove the door. When selecting a power source for your TSG 601, please remember: H Attempting to use an improper AC adapter can cause permanent damage to the instrument.
Operating Basics Keypad and Display Conventions Please see the Instruction card (p/n 070-8909-00) supplied with your TSG 601 for a “tour” of the keypad and an explanation of the display symbols. For your convenience, the following panels are excerpted from the card. Using your TSG 601 Here’s a list of what you can do with your TSG 601. Simple instructions for each operation begin on the indicated page. H Output serial video test signals (page 6).
Operating Basics G Specify the peak–to–peak amplitude of the serial output, from 600 to 1000 mV (page 8). G Choose the video components (Y, Cr, Cb) to be included in the serial output (page 8). G Specify 8- or 10-bit video sample words (page 9). H Embed CRC information (used for “Error Detection and Handling,” or EDH) in the output to detect or simulate errors originating in the serial data path (page 9). H Add an ID message to the video signal, and place it where you want in the picture (pages 10, 11).
Operating Basics 2. Power the TSG (page 3) and switch it on. By default, the instrument will begin with most settings that were in effect when it was switched off. Two exceptions: all video component channels will be ON (see page 8); and the output amplitude will be 800 mV. 3. Select the appropriate serial video standard (625/50 or 525/60) through the Diagnostic menu (pages 56, 58). 4. Return to normal operation by pressing the Test Signals key. 5.

Operating Basics 3. Toggle the status with the Y or B key. The channel status will change instantly—you don’t have to press ENTER. NOTE. All three component channels default to ON whenever the TSG 601 is switched off and back on, regardless of prior “Channel Output” settings. Specifying 8- or 10-bit Data Words 1. If necessary, enter the Output menu (press Shift, then Output Ampl.). 2.
Operating Basics 4. Once the desired CRC choices appear on the display, press ENTER to accept/invoke the selections. 5. Press any rectangular key to exit the CRC menu. 6. Toggle the inclusion of CRC data or errors on and off by pressing the “CRC On/Off” key. The CRC status will be reported on the second line of the display, alternating with the ID status. Inserting ID Messages H Toggle the ID message or cycle on and off with the “ID On/Off” key.
Operating Basics Positioning ID Messages NOTE. Only the position of the currently displayed ID may be changed. If you wish to change the picture location of a message that is not displayed, you must first recall it through the ID menu or the Recall menu. 1. Enter the ID menu (press Shift, then ID On/Off), if necessary. 2. With the Y and B keys, scroll to the “Position ID” menu item. 3. Press ENTER. 4. Use the arrow keys to move the message horizontally (H) and vertically (V) in the picture. 5.
Operating Basics 4. Use the Y / B keys to select the number of the ID to appear during each interval. Choose the hyphen (it’s below #1) to eliminate the interval. If you want a blank interval (that is, a time gap between ID messages), you must create an all-blank ID to put in that interval. 5. When the correct information is in all four time interval positions, press ENTER to confirm the cycle setup. (Press any rectangular key to abort the cycle edit.) 6.
Operating Basics 3. Use the A and " keys to select the desired group of audio channels (1–4, 5–8, 9–12, or 13–16). Press ENTER to confirm the selection. 4. Press any rectangular key to exit the Audio menu, or use the Y / B keys to go to the next selection within the Audio menu. Specifying Inserted Audio Channels in the Group When embedded audio is enabled, there must be at least two channels selected. This menu item allows you to select channels 1 and 2, channels 3 and 4, or channels 1, 2, 3, and 4. 1.
Operating Basics 2. Scroll down to the “Audio Frequency Selection” item and press the ENTER key. The display will resemble this: 3. Use the A and " keys to select the desired audio channel, and use the Y and B keys to select the frequency for that channel. Press the ENTER key to confirm these choices. If a change was made, the display will momentarily show the channel numbers that have new frequency assignments. 4.
Operating Basics Audio Channel ID Source ID in the audio channel status bits may be enabled or disabled through this menu item. Channel ID’s are preset to ch1 (channel 1), ch2 (channel 2), ch3 (channel 3), and ch4 (channel 4). 1. If necessary, enter the Audio menu (press Shift, then Audio On/Off ). 2. Scroll down to the “Audio Amplitude Selection” item and press the ENTER key. The display will be similar to: 3. Use the A and " keys to toggle the ID between the enabled and disabled states.
Operating Basics Saving (Storing) Presets and IDs 1. Press Shift and then Recall. Note that the ID# first shown on the display always indicates the current (most recently recalled) ID. 2. Scroll through the “STORE ID” (#1 through #8) and “STO PRESET” (#1 through #4) locations with the left/right arrow keys. The first line of any ID message already stored in the # location will be shown in the bottom line of the display; use the B key to see the second message line.
Operating Basics “factory” ID#1 is “Tektronix TSG601 Serial Digital.” The display will first look like this: Pressing the B key will change it to this: You may find this feature useful if you save two or more IDs with the same first line of text. 3. When the desired storage number is displayed, press ENTER to recall the ID or Preset. 4. Press any rectangular key to exit the Recall menu.
Operating Basics bers. If they are the same, we can be very confident that the picture data has been transmitted correctly. Unequal numbers mean that something has gone wrong in the process, and that the received data is not identical to the data that was sent. Many receiving devices will report the discrepancy as an error. The TSG 601 is a transmitting device, and the companion SDA 601 is a receiving device. A digital VTR, of course, can be both. Types of CRC.
Operating Basics ID Messages The TSG 601 lets the user edit ID messages “off line.” This means that you can edit a message without affecting the instrument’s output—or the ID currently inserted in the picture. To help prevent inadvertent changes to the current ID, the instrument will only insert ID messages that have been saved through the ID menu or the Store key. In the TSG 601, there are eight numbered storage locations for ID messages, ID#1 through ID#8.
Operating Basics Within the audio menus, the channels are called channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the group that you are working in. As there must be at least two channels (AES/EBU pairs) selected when embedded audio is enabled, you may select channels 1 and 2, channels 3 and 4 or channels 1, 2, 3, and 4. Separate frequencies and amplitudes may be assigned to each of the four channels. The frequency and amplitude assigned to a channel will be the same for that channel in all four groups.
Operating Basics lowed by 20 low states. This is the lowest frequency possible, given the data encoding schemes that are specified in the serial digital video standards. The third TSG 601 SDI Checkfield signal is a matrix of the other two. For a much more complete discussion of SDI Check Fields and their use, please see SMPTE RP 178 and Tektronix publication 25W-7203-1, “A Guide to Digital Television Systems and Measurements.
