Section 1 ♦ Introduction
The Videotek VTM-2000 is a Muti-format On-Screen Monitor with waveform
monitor, vectorscope, picture, and alarm status. It is a 19” rackmounted unit that
accepts two NTSC or PAL composite video signals, two SD-SDI video signals, and an
external analog reference video signal. The display presents the image carried by the
selected video input as a real-time, full-motion picture. Front panel user controls allow
for various display and selection modes.
In addition, the VTM-2000 also accepts the audio option VTM-A

-OPT 1, which is the
Advanced Audio Analysis Option with bargraphs and lissajous. With the
VTM-A

-OPT 1 up to four audio channels can be viewed simultaneously. There are
two analog stereo inputs, four AES/EBU inputs, and 16 channels of embedded audio.
It also contains analog monitoring outputs of up to four channels simultaneously.
The VTM-2000 seamlessly integrates into any broadcast, post-production, camera
