764
The Tektronix 764 Digital Audio Monitor is an
advanced monitoring tool for production and
quality assessment in modern digital audio
facilities. It combines the features of a phase
and level meter with those of a digital audio
data monitor. The 764 provides technical
personnel with a setup and calibration tool
and production personnel with an operational
monitor capable of conventional and advanced
audio assessment tasks.
The 764 is well equipped for these tasks.
Easy-to-read display screens can be viewed
from across a room. An auxiliary VGA output
supports larger color display units. Its two
AES/EBU input channels have loopthrough
capability permitting the 764 to be assigned
to any signal path. Operation follows an easy-
to-use, menu-driven scheme.
Audio Level
Audio amplitude measurement results are
displayed on up to four bar graphs. Most
characteristics can be configured to user
preferences. This includes the amplitude scale
and ballistics, peak-hold characteristics and
the value of test and peak levels. Other
features include detection of digital clipping
and muting and detection of system errors.
Audio Phase
A Lissajous display is augmented with a
mathematical phase correlation meter. In
addition, selectable Sum and Difference bars
provide an additional phase assessment tool.
Time Code
The 764 features Time Code input and display
capabilities. Vertical Interval and Longitudinal
Time Code can be displayed for locating
specific audio passages.
