in Production and Postproduction
The
1741C is the latest analog waveform monitor from Tektronix that features
user interface tools to simplify operations. Its precise displays
provide high-quality monitoring for traditional analog composite (PAL
and NTSC) or component systems.
This instrument supports four
analog composite signal inputs with waveform, vector, SCH, and picture
functions. The input ports can also be used for RGB signals.
The 4-tile FlexVu display and convenient picture thumbnail maximize
the versatility of the 1741C.
For camera alignment, the user
can display one, two, three, or four waveforms simultaneously and
overlay just as many vector displays, thus facilitating monitoring
of multiple cameras during content acquisition.
Powerful tools
such as timing display, VITC, or LTC decode, freeze capture, video
session, alarm status, and error log allow for deeper signal inspection
to enable superior video production and delivery quality.
Ease of Use
The Intuitive User Interface
provides backlit buttons.
32 user-configurable presets allow
users to recall commonly used configurations tailored to your personal
work practices.
For remote operation, the Ground-closure Interface
allows for remote selection of input or preset recall.
The
user can download screenshots using the USB or Ethernet port.
The error log can be downloaded using a web browser.
The unit
provides an XGA output for instrument display on an external monitor
and picture monitor output for analog composite signals.
Time
and voltage cursors in waveform display can be used as reference points
or to measure values. User-defined labels allow for easy identification
of input sources on the screen.
See and Solve with Tektronix
Displays
The “See and Solve” displays in Tektronix video monitors
simplify video monitoring tasks such as equipment setup, error detection,
and content correction allowing to detect errors at a glance and troubleshoot
them efficiently.
The FlexVu 4-tile display provides maximum
flexibility to increase your productivity. With FlexVu, you can create
a multiview display tailored to your specific needs and work practices.
The Video Session, Alarm Status, and Error Log displays are effective
tools to verify the format and quality of the signal and allow for
efficient detection and correction of errors by providing key content
information at a glance. The error log captures up to 10,000 events
and can be easily downloaded using a web browser.
The freeze
function on the 1741C allows comparing of the frozen display to the
live signal, facilitating tasks such as reference setting. A bitmap
of the display can be downloaded using a web browser for easy documentation.
With 32 user-configurable presets, operators can recall commonly
used configurations for faster setup of the 1741C.
Sharp Waveform
Display – Clear Measurements
Tektronix displays offer the
sharpest CRT-like trace quality for clear waveform monitoring without
pixelation distortions. With several sweep rates and easy control
of vertical gain and horizontal magnification, you can efficiently
monitor and measure video waveform parameters.
Full horizontal
timing flexibility is provided with 1Line, 2Line, 1Field, and 2Field
sweep modes, with or without magnification.
Both fixed and
variable vertical gain is offered, each with the outstanding accuracy
and repeatability that comes from a fully digital design.
The
Line Select provides a line marker in full-screen and thumbnail picture
modes.
With the time and voltage cursors in the waveform display,
users can easily reference points or measure values. Users can also
define labels to quickly identify the input sources active on the
waveform display.
Vector Display
The vector display
is offered with selectable 75% and 100% targets.
Each display
automatically selects the appropriate graticule based on the input
format.
The vector display offers user-selectable graticules.
Analog Video Multiformat Support
For a qualitative view
of the content, a full-color picture display is offered, which can
be displayed as a full-screen presentation. This display is compatible
with PAL and NTSC inputs with format auto-sensing.
Timing
and Synchronization Made Easy
The patented Tektronix Timing
display makes facility timing easy through a simple graphical representation
which shows the relative timing of the input signal and the reference
signal on an X-Y axis. The display also has numeric readouts of the
timing difference relative to the reference, showing vertical timing
as number of lines and horizontal differences in μs.
The SCH
Phase display helps quickly verify this critical timing parameter
of composite analog video signals.
The 1741C provides VITC
or LTC Time Code decode and display plus LTC waveform display for
longitudinal time code amplitude and synchronization monitoring.
