VGA Interface Testing with the VM5000 Application Note VGA Interface Testing with the VM5000 Many devices depend on high performance color displays, including personal computers, video gaming appliances, and home theaters. Even with digital display interfaces such as DVI, analog RGB persists due to the large number of analog-only displays and the flexibility and reliability of the analog interconnect. Frequently a 15-pin RGBHV analog interface is used. Developed originally for VGA PC graphics cards, this physical interface is capable of very high performance. But impairments can and do occur because of failures or poor design. Verifying proper RGBHV interface operation can help ensure that displays work predictably and deliver top-quality results. VGA Interface Background 8 colors, including black and white, or 16 with the I-bit. VGA, or Video Graphics Array, is a graphics controller By moving to analog representations of the RGB signals, standard introduced by IBM in 1987 with the PS/2 many more intermediate signal values could be conveyed personal computer. Prior to VGA, typical computer over a 3-wire interface. Standard VGA uses 6 bit displays used simple binary combinations of R, G, and B, representations, allowing 64 independent voltage levels sometimes with an added intensity, or I bit. A drawback on each of the RGB channels, making 262,144 color of the 3-wire binary interface was the limited number of combinations possible. colors and shades of gray that could be reproduced: VGA Interface Testing with the VM5000 Application Note VGA Interface Performance The power of an analog RGB interface is its ability to convey virtually any desired video value. In practice, this is limited by noise and distortion. That is, if 6 bit representa- tions are to be carried over the interface, then the noise and distortion level of the RGB signals must be low enough to allow reliable recognition of 64 (26) discrete and linearly spaced levels over the full range. If the interface performance does not support this, due to noise, non-linearity, gain errors, or signal transient behavior such as overshoot and ringing, then the potential benefit of higher bit Figure 1.

A more serious consequence of casually extending the VGA The VGA physical interface is a RGBHV 5-wire signal, interface to higher rates is proper display synchronization. using 700mV analog RGB video levels and TTL-level digital With a larger number of displayed pixels per frame comes HV synchronization signals.

TTL-compatible logic buffers typically source the HV sync signals. This physical interface ended up being widely deployed, so it was preserved by subsequent graphics controller designs. Although commonly referred to as “the VGA port,” today’s 15-pin RGBHV output usually carries display formats with resolutions and color bit depth well beyond that of the 640 x 480 VGA standard. 2 www.tektronix.com/video VGA Interface Testing with the VM5000 Application Note Parameter Value Sync Logic “1” 2.4V – 5.5V @ 8mA source Sync Logic “0” 0.0V – 0.5V @ 8mA sink Sync rise/fall time (max) 80% of pixel clock period Sync monotonic rise/fall voltage range 0.5 – 2.4V Sync overshoot/undershoot (max) 30% Hsync jitter p-p (max) 30% of pixel clock period Video Max Luminance (input=FFh) 700mV + 70mV/-35mV Video Min Luminance (input=00h) 0.000V Video rise/fall time (max) 25% of pixel clock period Video settling time (max) 30% of pixel clock period Video overshoot/undershoot (max) 12% Video Integral and Differential Linearity error ±1 LSB Video channel voltage mismatch (max) 6% over full voltage range Video channel time skew (max) 50% of pixel clock period Video Noise Injection Ratio (max) ±2.5% of Max Video Luminance Table 1.

The test load is specified to be 75Ω, with a tolerance Implementing the VESA Tests of ±1.5Ω at DC, rising to ±15Ω at 60% of the pixel clock frequency. If the load is predominately a parallel RC, the The VSIS and Test Procedure are written around an maximum load capacitance permitted is: oscilloscope. This is a good fit, given the time-domain nature of many of the specifications. Plus, oscilloscopes are Cmax = 1/(377*PCF), commonly available, and most engineers and technicians where PCF is the pixel clock frequency in Hz know how to operate them. Despite this familiarity, some A second consideration is the effect this load capacitance care must be exercised in selecting an appropriate scope. has on the system risetime. The -3dB bandwidth of the First, the scope needs to have an adequate number of interconnect, assuming a 75Ω source and load, is: inputs. At least two vertical inputs with a separate trigger -3dB BW(Hz) = 1/(236*C) input are needed. This is to support those measurements Since VESA recommends that the measurement system that compare two signals; for example, the timing between -3dB point be at least 5X PCF, the maximum C from a the R and G video channels. A five channel device, with bandwidth perspective is: one input for each of the RGBHV signal lines, would be CmaxBW = 1/(1178*PCF), with PCF in Hz ideal. This would allow all measurements to take place with one connection. For example, XGA (1024x768) at 75 Hz uses a 78.75 MHz PCF, so Cmax is 1/(377*78.75 MHz) = 34 pF. CmaxBW is Second, each signal input needs to provide the appropriate 1/(1178*78.75 MHz) = 11pF. A direct connection to a 20pF vertical accuracy, sensitivity, and bandwidth for the scope will meet the VSIS load spec, but will not provide measurements. The Test Procedure recommends vertical the 5X PCF bandwidth regardless of the scope vertical accuracy of ±2% over the 200mV to 1.5V range. It also bandwidth.

This is to prevent degrading transient response measurements like rise time. With formats that use very short pixel times, this can push the bandwidth requirement to beyond 2 GHz. 4 www.tektronix.com/video VGA Interface Testing with the VM5000 Application Note Figure 2.

  • Laptop Connection Guidelines
    Five key PC and laptop connectors by use of your own laptop 1) USB – Universal Serial Bus, or USB, is the standard interface for connecting all kinds of external devices to your computer, from smartphones and cameras to the mouse and keyboard. We need this if you want to transfer some files from a memory stick to your laptop. 2) VGA – An older connection still found on many PCs, VGA (Video Graphics Array) was once the main way to connect computers to monitors. Typically, VGA connectors are colored blue, so they’re instantly recognizable. It’s since been superseded by HDMI, which carries sound as well as pictures. 3) HDMI – The current standard for connecting audio/ video equipment over a single cable, HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) These days, it’s the preferred way to connect PCs to monitors and laptops to projectors or switchers. HDMI offers improved picture quality over previous types of connection, such as VGA, with the capacity to support high-definition video formats. We prefer this type of connection. 4) Ethernet – Most PCs and laptops come with an ethernet socket – even if they support wireless networking, too. We need this connection if you want to go on the internet during your presentation. 5) 3.5mm audio socket – Laptops usually feature a single 3.5mm audio socket on them, which most people use to plug in headphones. This needs to be on your laptop if you want to play some audio for video’s. 6) Audio from laptop – please save the right codec on your laptop if you have video’s.

Introduction The purpose of this seminar is to give a practical introduction to the use of both analogue and digital video. ’not intended as an in-depth technical appraisal but more biased towards the practicalities of using video to enhance or augment audio. Its regrettable that all to often a video presentation is let down by poor quality sound, so perhaps with a professional audio engineer in charge, this situation can change. Lets start at the beginning, with that I mean the most basic of analogue video signals you will encounter. My apologies if this appears very basic to some of you, but a brief resume of analogue video will help the migration to digital later. 2. Composite Video The most basic video signal is of course Composite Video; also know as CVBS (Composite Video Blanking Sync). ’normally a single unbalanced signal designed for a single point-to-point connection, rather like the original audio circuits used using impedance matching for reliability. Other than being an unbalanced signal, not a lot different, except for the frequency. Whilst with audio we are typically dealing with a frequency range of 20Hz to 20KHz, more or less, with composite video the frequency is more in the order of 5.5MHz and creates a greater need for due diligence in connection and termination. Video for Audio Engineers – Rev 1.03 page 1 2.1 Correct termination With all video signals it is important to have the correct termination at the receiver (usually a display of some type).
