Description
WFM601A monitors are self contained, half-rack wide, waveform/vector monitors for the 270 MB serial component operating environment. They share a common design philosophy but are specialized for different applications.

The WFM601A is an operational monitor providing the signal monitoring features useful to the graphics workstation, telecine or camera setup operator.

WFM601A Serial Component Waveform/Vector Monitor
The WFM601A monitors 270 MB serial component data signals which may be connected directly through two high quality passive loopthrough inputs. This allows monitoring of the digital signal path without adapters or other add-on devices. The selected input data is evaluated for correct format and status, and the equivalent analog video signal is displayed in a traditional form allowing accurate monitoring and adjustment of source or processing equipment.

WFM601A monitors offer the conventional analog displays familiar to Tektronix component signal monitor users. Digital monitoring is as familiar and as useful as viewing an analog component signal.

Operating adjustments and measurements are made to the same signal parameters. Setup of digital sources is as easy as if they were analog.

In addition to waveform overlay and parade displays of the three component channels, WFM601 Series monitors feature three Tektronix-patented displays. The Lightning display helps operators quickly set up color difference component recorders using the standard color bar test signal. Using the Diamond display, color graphics operators can easily determine whether creative effects are reproducible in legal RGB color space, and will be warned that values outside the diamonds may cause recording, transmission or reproduction errors.

It include analog outputs for an RGB or Y'P'bP'r component picture monitor. A switched digital output is also provided for the all-digital plant.

The WFM601A is an operator's monitor, for use by a person responsible for the look and continuity of the television picture. It instills confidence that creative adjustments can be made without violating transmission standards, thus assuring trouble-free distribution throughout a facility. The WFM601A is the only model of the series featuring an analog audio Lissajous display.
