TVM9150PKG

Multiformat 3G/HD/SD Video Waveform Monitor and Audio Signal Analyzer

The Harris® Videotek® TVM9150PKG multiformat video waveform monitor and audio signal analyzer with integral XGA TFT color LCD display is the most advanced and intuitive test instrument available in a half-rack scope package. Versatile and modular, the TVM9150PKG is ideal for all 3G/HD/SD-SDI, analog composite and ASI video and audio applications. A 3D Analysis option allows the TVM9150PKG to support a variety of 3D television formats with multiple picture modes.

Users can display and evaluate up to four input sources, in up to four formats, simultaneously. One hundred percent digital signal processing enables precision presentation of waveform, vector, gamut, audio, picture, timing and data analyzer screens, each of which can be viewed in any quadrant. With full-screen, multiple pictures, thumbnails and powerful MULTI mode, complete display flexibility is a reality.

TVM9150 packages are predefined module groupings designed to quickly deliver the monitoring solution you need. The unit can be rackmounted or used in the field, and integrates seamlessly into any broadcast, post-production, telecine, satellite or cable facility, making the TVM9150 the ultimate choice for quality control, troubleshooting and compliance-check applications. Select among 3 Gb/s, HD/SD-SDI, SD-SDI, analog composite and ASI video monitoring with advanced physical jitter, 3D analysis, Dolby®, advanced audio and lip sync monitoring options to build a system customized to your requirements.

Q-SEE technology allows complete display versatility


The TVM9150PKG features Harris Corporation’s patented Q-SEE™ display technology, which enables users to configure their screen for any specific need. Whether the desire is for full screen, quadrant with picture thumbnail or the convenient MULTI mode, Q-SEE can make it happen. Choose from waveform, vector, gamut, audio, picture and timing displays, and place each in any quadrant on the screen.

The TVM9150PKG can be quickly and easily configured, with direct access to display functions, selectable screen location and context-sensitive pop-up menus, as well as the industry’s most intuitive navigation system. Complete presentation changes can be instantly applied with any of the 16 front-panel preset selections.

TVM-VTM-3D Analysis Option
The newest advances in 3D testing are available in the TVM9150PKG. The new graphics engine enables the display of up to four 3D pictures or a combination of multiple 3D pictures and/or waveforms, including the ability to display separate left-eye and right-eye pictures and waveforms simultaneously. 3D testing capability requires the TVM-VTM-3D option (for those owners of the TVM9100PKG or TVM9140PKG, the upgrade path is with the TVM-50-F).

Quad3D.jpg 
VTM9150 with four different pictures of 3D input

The 3D Analysis option includes the following picture modes: Split, L-R (left minus right), Mosaic, Mix, and Anaglyph.

The Split picture display is useful for locating vertical misalignment of a stereo camera pair and focus differences between left and right inputs. The split location is adjustable across the picture, allowing the user to select the overlap location for determining the best place for alignment.

split.jpeg 
Split picture display

The L-R picture display is generated by subtracting the luma value of the right source from the luma value of the left. The result of the subtraction is pure gray if the left and right images perfectly line up. This function is useful in aligning the 3D camera rig on a test chart, as small differences are easily discernable.

L-R.jpeg 
L-R picture display

The Mosaic picture display is useful for catching differences in color/brightness of the left and right sources. For example, on a surface containing a basic, constant color — such as a wall, a field or the sky — if the two cameras are matched for color brightness, contrast, etc., the mosaic pattern is not visible; if the cameras are not matched, the mosaic pattern is easily visible. Also, adjacent mosaic “boxes” will look more mismatched for parts of a scene containing greater 3D depth. The unit has a vertical and horizontal adjustment for the mosaic block size, allowing the user to select the optimum block size for making deterministic evaluation of the signal.

Mosaic picture display

The Mix picture display feature shows a 50/50 mix of the A and B inputs. This mode is useful for seeing both left and right views superimposed on each other, and therefore instantly highlights the parts of the scene that have greater 3D depth than others. This view is achieved by performing a 50 percent mix of the red, green and blue components of the left and right image pairs.

Mix picture display

The Anaglyph picture display allows the use of common red/green or cyan/magenta glasses to see the 3D effect without special monitors or expensive, active 3D glasses. This method of viewing 3D is inferior to the use of shutter glasses, but makes it easy for an operator wearing anaglyph glasses to check the 3D effect on any color display — including the TVM9150 front-panel LCD display. Anaglyph glasses possess two different lenses of different (usually chromatically opposite) colors, such as red and cyan or green and magenta.
