Complete Tektronix DisplayPort Test Solution Certified by VESA

Tektronix First to Receive Certification for DisplayPort

BEAVERTON, Ore., April 2008- Tektronix, Inc. a leading, worldwide provider of test, measurement and monitoring instrumentation, announced Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) certification for Tektronix test solution for the DisplayPort 1.1 standard covering source, cable, and sink testing. The solution represents a complete test bench for engineers wanting to optimize and validate the performance of their DisplayPort designs. Tektronix initially received VESA physical layer sink certification last December – the first vendor receiving this DisplayPort 1.1 certification – and subsequently received source and cable certification.

“Tektronix was the first vendor to create a DisplayPort physical layer sink test solution and to receive compliance certification from VESA,” said Bill Lempesis, executive director, VESA. “Tektronix is recognized around the world for its leadership in test solutions including DisplayPort. These tools enable companies to efficiently test their designs, helping to expedite compliance with DisplayPort through theCTSdefined within the standard. The efforts of Tektronix increase the overall set of tools that companies have available to assist in DisplayPort development and industry adoption.”

The DisplayPort test solution from Tektronix consists of a DSA70804 8 GHz real time oscilloscope with new DPOJET Advanced software. Additional components include: an AWG7102 arbitrary waveform generator; a DSA8200 sampling oscilloscope with IConnect software and 80E03 and 80E04 modules; P7380SMA probes and; DisplayPort fixtures from Efficere Technologies.
