SD / HD / 3G-SDI
Analog and digital video have many of the same constraints, and many of the problems that may occur in the digital domain are a result of incorrect analog source video. Therefore, it is important to have standards to reference for the design and operation of both analog and digital video devices.
For many, the HD-SDI implementation will be part of a hybrid environment, adding complexity to the process of measurement, monitoring and analysis. Tektronix tools are designed for multi-format, multi-standard support and provide familiar user interfaces. Tektronix test & measurement tools and technical content will help guide you through the transition process of bringing HD services on line and ensuring operational efficiency.
