WFM8000 Waveform Monitor Series
Composite Analog to 3 Gb/s SDI Advanced Digital Video – All-in-One Platform
The WFM8200 and WFM8300 Waveform Monitors are ideal for multi-format environments, providing flexible options and field-installable upgrade kits to monitor diverse video types including 3 Gb/s SDI, Dual Link, HD/SD SDI and Composite Analog Video.
Tektronix-patented new Spearhead and Luma Qualified Vector (LQV™) displays facilitate precise color adjustment for post production applications. High-performance real-time Eye pattern display, Jitter measurements and patented cable length measurements enable superior Physical Layer analysis.
Both WFM8300 and WFM8200 come standard with Dual Link SDI (SMPTE 372M), compliant monitoring, Automatic Format Detection (SMPTE 352M) and selectable display of Alpha Channel, as well as 2K Dual Link monitoring with XYZ Color Space.
Both WFM8300 and WFM8200 support any combination of video and audio format options, so these instruments excel in multi-format environments and evolve with your needs to protect your investment.
