  • Master Sync and Master Clock Reference Timing Within a Facility
    Master Sync and Master Clock Reference Timing within a Facility Application Note Introduction becomes challenging and even more critical. The Tektronix SPG8000 and TG8000 are multi-format test signal and master Adjusting system timing and achieving synchronization is one sync generator platforms that can be configured with a variety of the most fundamental and critical procedures in a facility. of options to serve the analog, Standard Definition (SD)-Serial With multi-format facilities operating in the analog, digital and Digital Interface (SDI), High Definition (HD)-SDI and multi- standard or high definition environments, synchronization format master synchronization needs of a facility. Application Note Figure 2. Simple Differentiating circuit to extract sync. Figure 1. Synchronizing process. To understand how synchronization is achieved, we need to understand the basics of analog timing and how it works (Figure 1). For accurate reproduction of the image, both the camera and the television receiver must be synchronized to scan the same part of the picture at the same time. At the end of each horizontal line, the beam must return to the left side of the picture. This is called “horizontal retrace”. The horizontal sync pulse handles coordination of the horizontal retrace. Figure 3. Simple integrating circuit to extract vertical sync pulses.
