DVD Design and Manufacturing

Professional video equipment and consumer electronics companies are working to integrate enabling digital technologies at an unprecedented rate and they all face similar challenges – standards compliance, design verification and interoperability testing.

In the research and development stage the test and measurement requirements to ensure standards compliance and to facilitate interoperability include design verification testing, stress testing and debug / analysis of identified faults. Interoperability can encompass a wide variety of interfaces including, analog component, HDMI/DVI, Ethernet, USB and Firewire.

A new generation of Tektronix test and measurement tools has emerged to help engineers deal with these test and measurement challenges. Each is designed to ensure Tektronix customers remain on the forefront of technology deployment. The latest digital video technologies are faster and often more complex than prior generations and require test equipment capable of greater performance and more extensive analysis including features like the Predictive Analysis capability of the PQA500. This Picture Quality Analyzer includes the capability required by video codec designers to optimize their designs for content originating in a specific format and being viewed on a variety of display technologies.

As designs move to the manufacturing environment, fast, repeatable, objective testing provides the means to minimize errors that reach the end user and create dissatisfaction and disloyalty. Manufacturers can benefit from reduced unit cost for test, reduced labor, accelerated product delivery, enhanced product quality, and enabling global manufacturing initiatives.

Today, missing a market window by just a few months can be disastrous. Tektronix analyzers and measurement sets are critical to getting new high quality products to market quickly and at lower cost. Tektronix’ See and Solve™ video test solutions provide mission critical test and measurement capabilities to preserve signal integrity, reduce production time and operating costs, ensure standards compliance, optimize performance, and are easy to operate for engineering and non-engineering users.
