The Tektronix WVR7000 Multi-Standard Multi-Format Waveform Rasterizer is a high-performance video and audio signal monitoring instrument for broadcast and production environments. It delivers comprehensive analysis across HD-SDI, SDI, composite analog, Dual Link, and 3G-SDI formats. The FlexVu™ display enables four concurrent, independently configurable measurement views on a single XGA output (1024×768, 60 Hz), supporting waveform, vector, gamut, timing, status, and audio displays. Engineers gain access to patented timing and lightning displays, eye-pattern analysis with jitter measurement, and advanced ANC data decoding including CEA-708/608 closed captions, teletext, AFD, WSS, VITC, and LTC. Audio monitoring spans analog, digital embedded, and AES/EBU signals with support for up to 16-channel embedded audio, ITU-R BS.1770-3 loudness metering, and Dolby Digital/Digital Plus/Dolby E decode with metadata display. The instrument accepts composite video signals from −1.8 V to +2.2 V (DC + peak AC) with 35 kΩ typical input impedance and −6.0 V to +6.0 V absolute maximum ratings. An intuitive interface with on-line help and robust remote control integration streamline workflow deployment.
