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.
