The MTM400 now has RF monitoring capability for terrestrial, cable and satellite digital television standards.

Tektronix has introduced expanded radio frequency input options for the MTM400 MPEG Transport Stream Monitor.

The MTM400 now supports RF monitoring and testing for virtually all of the globally deployed DTV RF modulation schemes. The MTM400 comprehensively monitors MPEG Transport Streams at both RF and digital interfaces in a single, integrated monitoring platform.

The MTM400 now has RF monitoring capability for terrestrial, cable and satellite digital television standards. Added support for COFDM (for DVB-T terrestrial broadcast), 8PSK (for satellite broadcast), QAM-B (for U.S. cable) and 8-VSB (for ATSC terrestrial broadcast) interfaces, make the MTM400 appropriate for monitoring needs worldwide.

The MTM400 MPEG transport stream monitor now provides simultaneous monitoring of critical key performance indicators (KPIs) for up to 500 MPEG transport streams.

Tektronix has added several new RF support features to its MTM400 MPEG transport stream monitor. The monitor now includes new QAM Annex B and C interfaces for the U.S. and Japanese cable markets, in addition to the existing QPSK and QAM Annex A interfaces for satellite and European cable customers. The new RF monitori

Tektronix recently introduced its PSM RF series, a family of compact RF and microwave power sensors/meters that can be used for a broad range of CW and pulse modulation measurements.

Ensuring high-signal quality and availability is as indispensable in digital TV networks as it was with analog networks. Signal monitoring is key to quality

As I've written before, I felt there was a great need for easy-to-use equipment for monitoring 8-VSB transmissions and ATSC streams. There was no shortage of DTV and 8-VSB test equipment at NAB this year. Prices were low enough. There is now no excuse for not knowing exactly what your station is transmitting on DTV
