Gennum, a major supplier of components, integrated circuits and subsystems to the video markets, has selected Tektronix digital phosphor oscilloscopes (DPOs) for use in development labs, which provide customer support for video applications including high-definition television. Tektronix, a market leader in oscilloscopes and the pioneer of the DPO, will supply Canadian-based Gennum with the TDS7404 DPO for its new test labs in Japan and Europe.
Gennum's customers can use the facilities to evaluate, test, and debug their designs, complementing the company's Applications Engineering Group, which provides technical expertise to customers incorporating Gennum silicon into their designs.
"Today's variety of video standards and formats pose perhaps the most daunting challenges the video industry has ever faced.
Tektronix is combining its long heritage of leadership in the video industry with a clear vision of its customer's current and future needs to enable the success of the established and emerging players in the video industry as it continues to evolve", said Gerald Ostheimer, vice president, Tektronix Europe, Middle East and Africa.

"Increased signal speeds and complexities are a testament to Tektronix' commitment to providing solutions such as the TDS7404 to enable the transition from analogue to digital".
"Based on previous experience of the Tektronix TDS scope series, the TDS7404 was the natural choice for our work with 1.5Gbit/s high definition applications", said Vince Harradine, Worldwide Applications Manager, Gennum.
"The benefits of digital scopes are well known but you have always felt you were lacking the view of what is 'really going on' that you get with an analogue scope.
The TDS7404 with its DPXT technology bridges that gap which is particularly important with today's high speed applications".
