Programmable power-supplies offer outputs to 1kW
The XHR range of programmable power supplies, offering output ratings up to 1 kW is power-factor corrected for low current draw and reduced generation of input current harmonics.
Operators in hybrid (HD, SD and composite analogue) broadcast facilities need a cost-effective, feature-rich, and easy-to-use monitoring solution that helps them quickly and reliably determine the quality of transmitted content.
The new WVR7100 rasteriser enables engineers, technicians, video editors, and colourists to provide the highest video quality and conformance to broadcast specifications.
With the FlexVu display, customers can uniquely configure their instrument to display waveform, vector, gamut, picture, alarm screens, error log, and audio signal levels and Lissajous figures in four different tiles.
The WVR7100 is the only HD rasteriser with the de facto industry-standard, Tektronix-patented, gamut displays (diamond, split diamond and arrowhead) that ensure that the broadcast material meets gamut compliance in the component and composite colour spaces.
The user interface for the WVR7100 is extremely intuitive, and access to key functionality is available with the touch of one button.
The shallow menu structure allows the user to quickly access all of the unit's key functionality.
A new remote front-panel capability allows the user to access and control the WVR7100 from a distance of up to 30m by using a remote front-panel that is identical to the front panel on the unit.
The new Tektronix WVR7100 is designed with passive loop-through inputs, which makes it the industry's only HD rasteriser that can be installed within the actual signal path, so that the signal being monitored is the signal viewers see.
The WVR7100 supports two passive loop-through HD SDI inputs of the prevalent HD formats (720p, 1035i, 1080i, 1080p and 1080sF) at a variety of frame rates.
