Press Release Body: Bangalore, India, June 25, 2008- Tektronix India, a leading
worldwide provider of test, measurement and monitoring instrumentation, announced
that the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) has approved the Tektronix
Method of Implementation (MOI) for testing interconnect cables according to the
DisplayPort 1.1a specification, the first MOI in the industry for DisplayPort 1.1
cable testing. The Tektronix methodology eliminates the need for expensive and
complicated instruments promoted by alternative solutions. The new MOI and complete
Tektronix DisplayPort test offering can be viewed at www.tek.com/displayport.

DisplayPort is the new digital display interface technology for computers, monitors
and home-theater systems aimed at lower implementation costs and improved video
performance. DisplayPort gives manufacturers of LCD panels, monitors, graphics
cards, PC chipsets, projectors, peripherals, components, cables, and consumer
electronics a next generation digital interface that is designed to replace LVDS,
DVI, and eventually VGA.

The Tektronix interconnect MOI specifies a DSA8200 Digital Serial Analyzer and
TDR/TDT and S-Parameter support through iConnect® software. This is the only
approved single instrument DisplayPort interconnect test solution in the market for
passive cables. Testing active cables additionally requires an AWG7102 Arbitrary
Waveform Generator and 80SJNB jitter analysis software. Unlike alternative
solutions that require expensive, complex instruments and setups the Tektronix
configurations efficiently ensure a readable signal reaches the receiver

\"The Tektronix approach successfully performed the needed DisplayPort cable tests,"
said Doron Lapidot, director of engineering, Circuit & Design Asia Pacific and EMEA,
Tyco Electronics. "The Tektronix solution provides the needed compliance testing
with reduced cost and complexity. We've selected this configuration as part of our
DisplayPort interconnect testing.\"

"The DSA8200 measurement system provides channel characterization with TDR/TDT and
S-Parameter support," said Ian Valentine, general manager, Technology Solutions
Group, Tektronix. "The acceptance of our DisplayPort MOI for interconnect testing
by VESA and adoption by forward-looking organizations like Tyco Electronics
demonstrate the utility and cost-effective advantages of the Tektronix tools and
methodology."

Tektronix has received VESA certification for source, cable, and sink compliance
test solutions. "Tektronix is recognized around the world for its leadership in test
solutions including DisplayPort," said Bill Lempesis, executive director, VESA.
"These tools enable companies to efficiently test their designs, helping to expedite
compliance with DisplayPort through the CTS defined within the standard. The
efforts of Tektronix increase the overall set of tools that companies have available
to assist in DisplayPort development and industry adoption."
