The Tektronix "TandemVu" Display for Camera Set Up
Figure 1: TandemVu display for Camera Set Up
Operators often like to view the luma (Y) and chroma (C) at the same time so that they can adjust
the camera levels to ensure that the flesh tones of the onscreen camera talent are at the
appropriate video level and the vectorscope shows appropriate hue and saturation.
Within the Tektronix WFM5200 and other 5000 Series instruments, the TandemVu display was
developed to allow you to see the maximum waveform and vector displays simultaneously.
The overlay of waveform and vector displays can be configured in a variety of ways to suit your
needs. For adjustment of a camera, a useful setup is to show the luma Y channel in a 2 line sweep
display with the waveform trace moved to the far left so that only one line is displayed. The vector
display can then be moved to the far right of the display as shown in Figure 1. In this display
configuration, you can easily see adjustments that need to be made to the camera for both the
luma level and chroma signal within the same display.
