Key Features
Tektronix waveform m onitors can help you monitor SD SDI or HD SDI signals. The following table includes key features of
these instruments.
Feature Description
Flexible tile displays: Full,
TandemVu®, and Quad Tile
Quad TIle (4-Tile): View four measurement displays at once, one in each tile.
TandemVu®: Patented display allows you to overlay the Waveform and
Vector or
Waveform and Lightning displays, plus Picture Thumbnail, in a single, full-tile display.
Full: View a Waveform measurement display that is active in tile 1 full screen.
Thumbnail display
Thumbnail display of the picture in the selected Waveform, Gamut, Audio, or Vector
measurement displays.
Presets
Customizable presets allow you to quickly save and recall commo
nly used
configurations.
Full digital processing
Full digital processing allows for a ccurate, repeatable, drift-free operation that
surpasses traditional analog designs.
Waveform display Traditional waveform displays allow signals to be overlaid or paraded.
Waveform/Vector or Waveform/Lightning overlay display is
also available.
Timing display TIming display shows the timing relationship between video input and the external
reference.
Vector display Traditional and Lightning Vector displays are available. The latter shows both
luma and chroma amplitudes, as well as quantifying inter-
channel timing. Includes
Vector display w ith Composite and Component Compass Rose graticules, and
Vector/Waveform and Lightning/Waveform overlay; as well as gain, sweep, and
magnification controls.
Gamut monitoring Arrowhead, Diamond, and Split Diamond displays offer us
er-selectable gamut
thresholds so that you can set monitoring limits appropriate to a speci fi c operation.
Gamut monitoring is fully integrated with the alarm logging and reporting capabilities.
Picture area
Support for standard and custom Safe Graticules of Picture displays for monitoring
the incorrect placements of graphics and logos. Two Sa
fe Area graticules and Safe
Title graticules are supported.
Lissajous display lets you monitor audio channel inp
uts.
Support and options for viewing and monitoring both l
evels of normal channel
pairs for AES and embedded audio, and many popular audio scales, including
BBC scales.
Audio monitoring
Provides Audio Control Packet information, which is ancillary data used to describe
the number of channels, audio frame rate, and audio
channel delay.
Status screens The following status displays provide content st
atus: Alarm, Event/Error Log, Video
Session, Audio Session, and Audio Control.
