Tektronix provides test and measurement instruments, solutions and services for the computer, semiconductor, military/aerospace, consumer electronics and education industries worldwide.
A group of parallel optical fibers contained within a common jacket. A bundle may contain from just a few to several hundred fibers.

Architecture used to maintain high data transfer rates over long distances. With FC-AL storage arrays can be separated by as much as 20 kilometers, connected by only one nonamplified Fibre Channel fiber optic link. In the dual-loop architecture, data transfer rates can reach 200 Mb/s. Another advantage is increased fault tolerance. In the unlikely event of a drive failure, port bypass circuits single out each failed drive and quickly route around it, with no limitation on the number of drives that can be bypassed.
Industry:Entertainment
Standards for a 100 Mbps local area network, based upon fiber optic or wired media configured as dual counter rotating token rings. This configuration provides a high level of fault tolerance by creating multiple connection paths between nodes.
Connections can be established even if a ring is broken.

“Wires” made of glass fiber used to transmit video, audio, voice, or data providing vastly wider bandwidth than standard coaxial cable.
Industry:Entertainment
A high-speed data link planned to run up to 2 Gbps on a fiber optic cable. A number of manufacturers are developing products to use the Fiber Channel-Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) serial storage interface at 1 Gbps so that storage devices such as hard disks can be connected.
Supports signaling rates from 132.8 Mbps to 1,062.5 Mbps, over a mixture of physical media including optical fiber, video coax, miniature coax, and shielded twisted pair wiring. The standard supports data transmission and framing protocols for the most popular channel and network standards including SCSI, HIPPI, Ethernet, Internet Protocol, and ATM.

An alias caused by interlaced scanning. See also Interlace Artifacts.

Refers to the part of the signal at the end of each field that make the vertical retrace invisible. Also called vertical blanking.
Industry:Entertainment
When a CAV laserdisc is placed in the still frame mode, it continuously plays back two adjacent fields of information. There are no rules in the NTSC system stating that a complete video picture has to start on field 1 or field 2. Most of the video in this program is field 1 dominant. There are two sections of the disc that are field 2 dominant. In the case of film translated to video, the start of a complete film picture changes from field 1 to field 2 about 6 times a second. There is a code in the vertical interval of the disc that tells the player on which field it can start displaying each of the disc’s still frames.
