  Waveform/Vectorscope for SDI Signal

  Posted by Larry Zapotocky on October 10, 2014 at 8:38 pm

  Hello,

  I’m trying to narrow down my research for an SDI Waveform/Vectorscope and signal generator for our new studio. I’ve looked at Harris, Tektronix and some others.

  Any suggestions on what would be a good studio solution?

  Thanks
  Larry

  I use a Leader LV7330 rasterizer in our remote truck. Works well and is a bit less expensive than the others. Otherwise Tektronix and Harris all make good products. It just depends on your budget and your needs.

  Hi Tom,

  Do you have it connected SDI to a monitor or DVI to a computer monitor?

  thanks,
  Larry

  The display is DVI out to a computer monitor. The input is HD-SDI or SDI with an A/B input.

  Didn’t see this Thread before I posted my question

  But in summary, with the Blackmagic Ultrascopes, I don’t like the inability to get a large view of at least one view (say, the Parade) as this is important in Color Grading.
  I like my Harris VTM for this reason – ability to get large views and therefore, see great detail. But I don’t like that it doesn’t accept presets so you can load industry standards into it. That may be different on newer models; I don’t know.
  And with some Tektronix models, I find there’s too much information at times. But they have lots of plusses. And a great history.
  Neil.
