WFM5000 Series Waveform Monitor
WFM-5200 | Standard for basic video and audio monitoring
Tektronix WFM-5200 is a basic yet efficient portable waveform monitor for adjusting and balancing cameras in broadcast studio, OB van or field location.
For the highlights of 5200-series you can include TandemVu (waveform + vector) for precise camera alignment. As well as Multi-camera balancing made simple with the Multiple Input Mode.
Quality Control (QC)
WFM-5000 series offers in-depth monitoring and analysis of digital data (including ANC data). Optionally you can get audio loudness monitoring and measurements.
Applications of use WFM-5200
Mobile & Studio Production
To create a spectacular images proper setup, alignment and matching of cameras is needed before an event.
Post Production
Easy to understand displays of the WFM5000 series provide whats needed for editors or colourists to adjust colour fidelity.
You have a choice of WVR-5200 rasterizer or higher models like WFM-8200 or WFM-8300
