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.
