Tektronix, an industry-leading innovator of video test, monitoring, and diagnostic solutions, has unveiled comprehensive video on demand (VOD) and live OTT monitoring solutions. This will enable the video content distributors to meet the challenge of ensuring the availability as well as the quality of both live and file-based content.  These solutions allow broadcaster and other video distributors using cloud, virtual or physical networks to ensure good quality of the content. These solutions have been designed while keeping the scalability in mind. Hence, broadcasters can start at any level as per their needs.

Tektronix, a leading provider of measurement solutions, is going to showcase the latest in optical test innovation for data center networking at ECOC 2017. This event is the largest optical communications exhibition in Europe, whereby more than 300 companies from 80 countries will help over 5,000 attendees to meet the demand for more bandwidth and increased data center performance. ECOC Exhibitions is the key meeting place for decision makers from across the fiber optic communications technology industry. The exhibition will take place between 18th to 20th September at Gothenburg in Sweden. Tektronix is very excited to host industry experts from leading research and commercial companies to discuss the trends and opportunities for emerging optical communications design.

Tektronix, a leading provider of measurement solutions, has expanded its PAM4 test solutions lineup to include comprehensive 400G electrical compliance testing for OIF-CEI-56G VSR/MR/LR PAM4 standards. The new software package runs on high-performance Tektronix DPo70000SX Real-Time Oscilloscopes; a lineup of models with up to 70 GHz in bandwidth. The PAM4 encoding doubles the data rate of serial data channels as compared to NRZ (non-return to zero). But as a complex modulation scheme, it also presents a number of major test and measurement challenges. Many of the measurement specs for PAM4 are still in flux which makes it difficult to stay current with the latest measurement techniques being formalized by the standards.

Tektronix Inc., a leading worldwide provider of measurement solutions has released enhancements to its DisplayPort and Type-C transmitter test solution, with full support for the latest DisplayPort 1.4 specification. The solution includes support for the HBR3 data rate (8.1 Gb/s) and delivers the fastest compliance test times in the industry. It takes less than 7 hours for data rates up to HBR2 and less than 11 hours for HBR3. This rate is significantly faster than that offered by the competitors. Tektronix has also released automated USB 3.1 Type-C test solution for Gen1 and Gen2. It integrates SigTest and DPOJET measurements and fully complies with testing and deeper analysis. It is imperative for engineers working on overall Type-C designs to test USB and other supported Alt-modes to ensure that the designs comply with the standards.

Tektronix Inc., the world leader in providing measurement solutions, has introduced new optical modules for its DSA8300 sampling oscilloscope. Apart from carrying traits like industry’s highest mark test sensitivity and lowest noise, these also feature increased production capacity and improved yield for current 100G designs moving into production. Besides, the company has released enhancements to its 400G test solution including IEEE Ethernet standard-driven Transmitter and Dispersion Eye Closure (TDECQ) PAM4 and other related support measurements for optical testing. The full set of Tektronix solutions for 100G/ 400G optical characterization and validation along with new modules and capabilities will be demonstrated at the OFC Optical Networking and Communication Conference.
