Audio Monitoring

Audio signal test tools are essential to the editor, operations staff and engineers in the performance of their jobs. A critical challenge highlighted by the recent advances in video standards is the use of audio monitoring as a service differentiator by network operators and broadcasters alike. A major challenge of audio monitoring in the video ecosystem continues to be synchronization of video and audio signals.

Tektronix audio monitoring solutions cover the technology spectrum from analog audio to the most sophisticated multi-channel surround sound digital audio monitoring, including associated meta data and extends to file-based content verification.
