Tektronix 1780R Waveform Vectorscope

This Video Measurement Set offers features for precise evaluation of studio and transmission performance. It is multi-function, offering  wide bandwidth, multi-input, waveform/vector/SCH measurement. The advantages of separate waveform and vector instruments are provided in a single rack width, 5.25" high.

In addition, specific measurements take advantage of the 1780R Series' shared waveform monitor and vectorscope internal processing. Separate, optimized waveform and vector display CRTs allow simultaneous monitoring of several video parameters.

Product Weight:  28 lbs
Dimensions:  19"W x 18"D x 5.25"H
