Samsung adopts Tektronix video measurement set

Samsung Electronics has chosen Tektronix Inc.'s VM5000 automated video measurement set for measuring HDTV and progressive component video signals.

Through precision measurement and testing, the VM5000 is a key to enabling the design of next-generation digital STBs, video semiconductors, integrated HDTV tuner/decoders, progressive scan DVD players and gaming consoles. The VM5000 can be used for design and development, quality/audit test, certification and compliance test, and automated production test applications.

Todd Biddle, VP, video product line, Tektronix, said, "With the automatic measurements of the VM5000, Samsung is able to significantly shorten its development cycle and at the same time eliminate test errors. The VM5000 will deliver the speed, reliability and comprehensive analysis Samsung needs in order to facilitate development of next generation video designs."
