Marshall Electronics selects Tektronix for design validation of 3Gb/s monitors

Marshall Electronics, a manufacturer of LCD camera-top and rack mountable monitors, has selected Tektronix WFM7120 waveform monitor and a TG700 video signal generator with an HD3G7 module for design validation and characterization in the development of 3Gb/s serial digital interface LCD monitors.

Tektronix is a provider of test, measurement and monitoring instrumentation. The latest family of Marshall 6.5-inch and 7-inch LCD monitors are claimed to offer 3Gb/s SDI, HD-SDI (1.5Gb/s single and dual link), SD-SDI, HDMI, and component inputs. More Marshall monitors offering 3Gb/s SDI will become available later in 2009 in a variety of sizes and configurations, according to Tektronix.

Tektronix said that its TG700 is a multi-format precision signal generation platform. It offers sync pulse generation and test signal generation for a wide array of analog, serial digital, and digital high definition formats including SD-SDI, HD-SDI single and dual link and 3Gb/s high speed SDI supporting 1080p formats up to 60fps.

Amir Behrozi, project manager at Marshall Electronics, said: "Not all signal generators are created equal. The TG700 gave us the confidence that our new 3Gb/s monitors were going to work properly. The WFM7120 is the Ferrari F430 of test instruments and the Tektronix technical support team has been great at helping us meet the exacting standards expected for professional video production gear."
