Key Features
Tektronix waveform monitors can help y ou monitor and measure SD SDI, HD SDI, and/or composite analog signals. All
instrument models come standard with SD SDI input monitoring capabilities. T he following table includes key features
availabl
e on standard equipped instruments. If a feature requires a specific option, the required option is noted.
Feature Description
FlexVu™ display
The FlexVu™ display is a four-tiled, high-re solution XGA display that provides four
concurr
ent views of a monitored signal. The instrument also provides the flexibility to
configure each of the four display tiles independently, enabling you to quickly check
the integrity of a signal. For instruments with the simultaneous input monitoring
(Option
SIM) capability, the FlexVu™ display allows for the monitoring of two signals
at the same time, dividing the display into two sides: one for each signal.
CaptureVu™ The CaptureVu™ capability allows capture of a full frame of video data, either
user-initiated or triggered by an alarm condition.
Presets
Customizable presets allow you to quickly save and recall commonly used
config
urations.
Digital and analog support
Supp
ort for digital applications. Analog support is available with optional
composite-analog monitoring (Option C PS).
Full
y digital processing
Fully Digital Processing allows for accurate, repeatable, drift-free operation that
surpasses traditional analog designs.
Waveform display Traditional waveform displays allow signals to be overlaid or paraded. Waveforms
can
also be set, tile by tile, to Infinite Persistence. This mode traces waveforms over
time on the s ame display, providing a visual history of the trace.
Ve
ctor display
Vector display with Composite and Component Compass Rose Graticules, as
well as gain, sweep, and magnification controls. Traditional and Lightning Vector
di
splays are available. The latter visualizes both luma and chroma amplitudes, as
well as quantify inter-channel timing. Waveforms can also be set, tile by tile, to
Infinite Persistence. This mode traces waveforms over time on the same display,
p
roviding a visual history of the trace.
