"The acceleration of TV digitisation, the maturation of video technology, and the demands for China's television system to be upgraded has led the Chinese government to recognise the need to establish a digital TV testing lab that can accelerate the digitisation of the country's television industry.
We believe our partnership with Tektronix will help us to achieve this goal".
"Tektronix' award-winning solutions fulfill ABS' requirements to test and monitor a variety of signal formats.
Tektronix' equipment will provide reliable evidence that the country's consumers are receiving the highest digital video quality, whether the video is being broadcast in standard- or high-definition", said Vince Ganley, Vice President, Pacific region, Tektronix.
"As SARFT continues to research and develop the country's next-generation digital video technology, Tektronix will be there to meet their test and measurement needs".
Tektronix gear tests and monitors signals for satellite/cable/terrestrial distribution The Institute of Standardisation and Planning, a department within ABS, will use the new Tektronix WFM700M multiformat waveform monitors, MTG300 MPEG-2 generators, VM700T video measurement sets, MTS300 MPEG test systems, and TG2000 signal generation platforms in the lab.
The equipment will be used to test specific characteristics of digital TV modulation and transmission, provide performance testing of digital TV decoders and set-top boxes, subjectively evaluate picture quality, and analyse the structure of the video signal.
The Tektronix solutions will also be used in conformance testing, software evaluation, and provide built-in system testing of digital TV products.
