About WFM8300

With the rapid advance of 4K technology and increasing adoption rates across the industry, companies involved in the production and delivery of 4K content – from camera manufacturers to post-production houses to broadcasters – are investing in new 4K-related equipment. But keeping equipment costs in check is an important consideration, particularly during the ramp-up phase. Tektronix WFM8300 enables 4K support via an easy, field-installable software upgrade, eliminating the need for customers to purchase costly hardware replacements in order to shoot, prepare and deliver 4K programming.

The software upgradeable platform uses a high-performance architecture fully capable of supporting the throughput requirements of 4K content. The outstanding combination of capabilities, features, performance and upgradeability make them ideal for meeting the 4K requirements of equipment manufacturers, post-production houses, broadcasters and other video service providers (VSPs). Customers can continue to purchase the equipment they need for their existing requirements, secure in the knowledge that when the time comes to roll out 4K, they can easily upgrade.
