Tektronix Video Test Solution Wins Outstanding Technology Award
BIRTV 2008 Selects Tektronix 3Gb/s SDI End-to-End Test Solution; Award Winning Video Solutions Showcased at BIRTV 2008
Supporting both A level and B level 1080p SMPTE formats, the Tektronix 3Gb/s SDI Test Solution is a combination of successful TG700 Series Generators and WFM7020/7120 Series Waveform Monitors with the 3Gb/s Single Link SDI support. The TG700 is a modular multi-format precision signal generation platform used by customers worldwide. It was recently used by NBC for the network’s coverage of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. With the new HD3G7 module for 3Gb/s SDI test signals, the TG700 supports 1080p formats to assist video equipment designers and manufacturers to get their products to market quickly and efficiently, and facilitates early roll out of 3Gbps services for broadcasters and post production operators. The new 3G (3Gb/s) and JIT (jitter for 3Gb/s) options for the WFM7120 monitor also provides an ideal test platform for fast verification of the 3Gb/s signal.
“Tektronix is well-recognized for its commitment to introducing innovative video test solutions and support for emerging technologies to meet the needs of new digital video applications,” said Zhang Hong, president of Cable TV Institute, Academy of Broadcasting Planning, SARFT. “We selected the Tektronix 3Gb/s SDI Test Solution for the BIRTV Outstanding Technology Award due to its unique capabilities and timeliness. The solution provides customers with great flexibility to quickly upgrade to 3Gb/s SDI standard compliant systems.”
"It is a great honor to receive the 2008 Outstanding Technology Award from BIRTV,” said James Alderton, marketing director, Tektronix Asia Pacific. “The video and TV broadcast industry is experiencing a revolutionary shift to digital and high definition technology. With the world's first 3Gb/s SDI end-to-end test solution, Tektronix is the preferred choice for technology companies who are developing products for high quality video distribution and broadcasting."
