See and Solve with Tektronix Displays
The “See and Solve” displays in Tektronix video monitors simplify video
monitoring tasks such as calibration, error detection, and content correction
allowing the user to detect errors at a glance and troubleshoot them
efficiently.
Tektronix displays offer the sharpest CRT-like trace quality for clear and
accurate video and audio monitoring with the look and feel of an analog
display. With several s weep rates and easy control of vertical gain and
horizontal magnification, you can efficiently monitor and measure video
waveform parameters.
Specialized displays provide summarized, yet comprehensive reports of
alarms, session, and status of content. Powerful displays such as Video
Status show a condensed view of error statistics, signal format, presence
of ancillary data, and more. These Tektronix-exclusive displays simplify
monitoring tasks by providing important content information at a glance.
The vector display offers user-selectable graticules, color target, and color
axis.
The patented Tektronix Diamond and Split Diam ond displays enable
Colorists, Editors, and Operators to v isualize whether the content is RGB
Gamut compliant with a single glance. Plus, they are designed to help
isolate the Out-of-Gamut component just as easily.
For SDI component content that is destined for broadcast in composite
systems, the unique Tektronix Arrowhead display can be used to monitor

Within this display, a separate upper and lower luma-only Gamut limit can

Timing Display – Quickly Confirm All Your Devices Are
Synchroni
Synchronization is one of the most fundamental a nd critical procedures in
avideofac
to successfully create, transmit, and recover video pictures and audio
information. This intuitive display makes facility timing easy through a
simple graphical representation which clearly shows the timing offsets
between HD and SD signals relative to the reference.
The patented Tektronix Timing display presents a unique timing comparison
between a digital (SD or HD) signal and a house reference signal
(composite or tri-level sync), thus eliminating the complexity in timing SD an

properly timed, the circle changes from red to green color and is concentric
with the crosshair.
