Analog Video (NTSC, PAL & Component)
The transition to digital has enabled great strides in the processing of video signals in both consumer devices and professional video equipment, allowing a variety of techniques to be applied to the video image. Despite these benefits, the final signal received by the customer is still converted to an analog signal for display on a picture monitor. As a result Test & Measurement solutions for analog video component design and manufacturing continue in broad demand around the world.
The broadcast world is also quickly embracing digital video in a broad variety of applications. Regardless, composite and component analog video continues to thrive in many facilities as the foundation of the broadcast chain, necessitating monitoring and generator solutions that bridge the respective technologies.
