Video test equipment is used by engineers to generate stable video signals with carefully defined characteristics for measuring, analyzing, and displaying the results of image digitization, processing, and display. To examine conventional broadcast signals, engineers generally implement signal and pattern generators, oscilloscopes, and waveform monitors. Now, with increased interest in digital camera and fiberoptic interfaces, test engineers must also be aware of the latest digital storage oscilloscopes and fiberoptic test-and-measurement equipment.
