Tektronix upgrades waveform monitors to support 4K

Tektronix has upgraded its WFM8200 and WFM8300 waveform monitors, as well as its WVR8200 and WVR8300 rasterisers, to support 4K and UHDTV1.

"4K is taking off and all the companies involved in the production and delivery of 4K are investing in new 4K related equipment as cost consciously as possible.," said the company's Eben Jenkins. „Recognising this, we engineered these popular waveform monitors and rasterisers to be easily upgraded to meet customers' 4K requirements and to save them money." The waveform monitors and rasterisers can perform a range of 4K measurements, including four tile displays of waveform, picture, vector, gamut and eye diagram for YPbPr formats. Tektronix says these measurement capabilities enable users to reduce the time to isolate, diagnose and remedy system issues and design faults. „Customers can continue to purchase the equipment they need for their existing requirements, secure in the knowledge that when the time comes to roll out 4K, they can easily upgrade," Jenkins concluded.
