Industry Leading 3G-SDI Support with the New WVR8000 Series
The new WVR8200 and WVR8300 SD/HD/3G-SDI rasterizers incorporate the Tektronix toolkit of patented displays essential in color correction and content editing during post production. The new Spearhead display provides a new tool for color grading, allowing colorists and editors to make precise color adjustments and enhancements to the content to achieve artistic excellence, while maintaining color gamut compliance to prevent loss and distortion of color fidelity of the content during subsequent workflow. The Luma Qualified Vector (LQV) display allows users to identify color components in terms of shadows, mid tones and highlights within multiple LQV displays.

WFM8200 and WFM8300 SD/HD/3G-SDI Advanced Waveform Monitors
The WFM8200 and WFM8300 SD/HD/3G-SDI advanced waveform monitors are new high-performance instruments that provide real-time, automated 3G-SDI Eye pattern display and jitter measurements that help broadcasters and network operators effectively diagnose signal problems and help equipment designers and manufacturers reduce time to market for new 3G-SDI products. This is made possible by the industry’s most comprehensive physical layer measurements including automated 3G-SDI Eye pattern parameters and jitter measurements as well as jitter waveform display and cable length measurements. Together with the TG700 advanced 3G-SDI Generator module, Tektronix offers a complete solution to 3G-SDI design and test for equipment manufacturers.
WVR/WFM7120 Waveform Monitors with Enhanced Audio Loudness
Building upon its current loudness measurement capability, Tektronix now offers WFM6000/7000 and WVR6000/7000 Series customers new firmware and software upgrades that adhere to ATSC A/85 Recommended Practice for Establishing and Maintaining Audio Loudness. Tektronix added the Audio Loudness Meter and the Audio Loudness Session Display (including audio loudness trend chart) which, when viewed in conjunction with the previously available Audio Level Meters and Audio Status displays, provides the most comprehensive audio.

Detect Real Time QoE Video Quality Impairments
VQS1000 Video Quality software detects QoE video impairments like stuck, black, macro-blocking and blocky compression artifacts. This software can monitor impairments in real time when used together with the MTM400A, RFM300, IPM400A, and QAM400A Digital TV network probes. This software can also be used to analyze any Transport Stream file for off line analysis of QoE video impairments.
Network Probe Family Now Tests Ingest to Edge
The QAM400A provides a complete solution for real-time transmission monitoring of MPEG Transport Streams over RF and ASI interfaces. Powerful confidence monitoring capability and deep diagnostic measurements are both combined into a single integrated solution, enabling cable operators to deliver superior QoS levels with reduced operational expenditure

Cerify® PC Software Now Tests Apple's ProRes File Format
Cerify PC software, now compatible with Apple's ProRes file format and other standards, automatically compares incoming video files against user-defined quality templates. With Cerify, content owners, post-production houses, and aggregators can use the same template (on one or multiple files at a time) to QC their product, reducing rejected content and churn.
Tektronix TG700 GPS7 Module Adds New Genlock Capability Suited for OB Van Applications
The TG700 Sync Pulse Generator with the GPS7 Module now provides a new user-selectable genlock function in either a master or Slave configuration. This is useful for Outside Broadcasts that involve multiple trucks, so that one truck can now be the master for one production and a slave for the next.
