Your attempt at applying a trade mark to that word is about 45 or 50 years
late, that was the term used to describe a rotary transformer used to
rotate the display in color tv (NTSC days) vectorscopes first built by
Tektronx.
I was actually positively surprised how much information is displayed by
a goniometer. It takes a while to learn to read it, but it's amazing.
Yes it is. The learning part however, does separate the wannabees from the
doers though.
well, reading a stereo scope is not too hard really. even if you only
pick out some obvious aspects, it's still useful.
making sense of a video color vectorscope however (never seen an ntsc
one, but i believe the pal ones have similar output) seems to imply a
pact with dark forces :-D i'm quite happy that the days of analog video
are almost over and i don't have to learn that anymore.
now with SDI you get to think about eye diagrams, which is not much
better :(
