Tektronix - The Vectorscope -- It's All About Color! V 2.0

The use of the Vectorscope in color television production and transmission. Tektronix television test equipment was instrumental in the development and deployment of color television.

These videos are priceless ! Just realised how intricate and pleasurable vintage tech was to operate for a geek !

Great stuff here!

Man I wish I could do this stuff to my DSLR. Thanks for uploading this

You have to shoot in RAW format if your camera will allow. You will then need special software for your specific camera to adjust. RAW saves the separate RGB color info so you can white balance etc. on the desktop. I ran a studio back in the 80's, pre HDTV. Brings back allot of memories watching this.

Tektronix seems like it would have been a cool place to work at.

From what Tektronix generator were those color bars originated, I ask - I know that, for example, some TSG's / SPG's have differing timing as to the positions of the color bars on top, reverse blue bars in the middle, and the -IWQB at bottom.

sweet, now to do a hobby version with opencv, raspberry pi, arduino, and make a color tv vectorscope like the old time oscilloscope/vectorscope... Mmmm...:/ thanks great video

Funny, how even English-speaking engineers from the eighties had trouble spelling "coarse" .... 'course :) Otherwise, it's a very instructive video. Learned a lot about video timing and waveform properties

and the windsurfing is nice...😁

Never Twice the Same Color

All this effort and then the NTSC radio waves ruined everything.....not to mention bad adjustment by TV owners of their set....LOL at least that last thing hasn’t changed..... Picking up a PAL Tektronix 1721 this week to use as a vector display 😁😁😁
