waveform, vector, SCH, and picture functions. The input ports can also be
used for RGB signals.
The 4-tile FlexVu display an d convenient picture thumbnail maximize the
versatility of the 1741C.
For c amera alignment, the user can display one, two, three, or four
waveforms simultaneously and overlay just as many vector displays, thus
facilitating monitoring of multiple cameras during content acquisition.
Powerful tools such as timing display, VITC, or LTC decode, freeze capture,
video session, alarm status, and error log allow for deeper signal inspection
to enable superior video production and delivery quality.

The unit provides an XGA output for instrument display on an external
monitor and picture monitor output for analog composite signals.
Time and voltage cursors in waveform display c a n be used as reference
points or to measure values. User-defined labels allow for easy
identification of input sources on the screen.
See and Solve with Tektronix Displays
The “See and Solve” displays in Tektronix video mon itors simplify video
monitoring tasks such as equipment setup, error detection, and content
correction allowing to detect errors at a glance and troubleshoot them
efficiently.
The FlexVu 4-tile display provides maximum flexibility to increase your
productivity. With FlexVu, you can create a multiview display tailored to your
specific needs and work practices.
The Video Session, Alarm Status, and Error Lo g displays are effective tools
to verify the format and quality of the signal and allow for efficient detection
and correction of errors by providing key conte nt information at a glance.
The error log captures up to 10,000 events and can be easily downloaded
using a web browser.
The freeze function on the 1741C allows comparing of the frozen display to
the live signal, facilitating tasks such as reference setting. A bitmap of the
display can be downloaded using a web browser for easy documentation.
With 32 user-configurable presets, operators can recall commonly used
configurations for faster setup of the 1741C.

Vector Display
The vector d isplay is offered with selectable 75% and 100% targets.
Each display automatically selects the appropriate graticule based on the
input format.
The vector display offers user-selectable graticules.
Sharp Waveform Display –
Clear Measurements
Tektronix displays offer the sharpest CRT-like trace quality for clear
waveform monitoring without pixelation distortions. With several sweep
rates and easy control of vertical gain and horizontal magnification, you can
efficiently monitor and measure video waveform parameters.
Full horizontal timing flexibility is provide d with 1Line, 2Line, 1Field, and
2Field sweep modes, with or without magnification.
Both fixed and variable vertical gain is offered, each with the outstanding
accuracy and repeata bility that comes from a fully digital design.
