Tektronix update waveform monitor range

Tektronix have announced a new audio option and software upgrades for their series of multi-format waveform monitors.
Building on the success of their WFM700 multi-format (standard and high definition) waveform monitors, Tektronix have added advanced video measurement features and an optional audio monitoring module to validate standards and document compliance, making a wide range of audio and video measurements possible with a single, powerful instrument.
The new AES/EBU digital audio option and field upgrade kit for the WFM700 Series offers audio monitoring of four channel pairs (up to eight separate channels) from either four rear-panel BNC inputs or audio embedded within the digital video signal. When selecting embedded audio for monitoring, the four BNC inputs can be reconfigured to output a de-embedded audio signal, adding to the versatility of the WFM700.
The WFM700 audio monitoring option offers support for stereo, 5.1 and 7.1 multi-channel audio, level bars with selectable ballistics and user-definable scaling.
The new firmware upgrade to the WFM700 adds new status reporting and error detection features. The WFM700 can now report the presence of ANC data, including critically important closed captioning, as well as VITC and ANC time codes.
New errors detected include format mismatches, RP165 errors, CRC errors in HD signals, ANC errors, SAV errors, and line count mismatches in HD signals.
