Ok, thanks.
I thought it was something like that, obviously not that useful instument,
unless you are doing video then.

The Tektronix 528 waveform monitor is used in the TV industry
to monitor the video waveform. The scope is graduated in IRE.
A proper waveform will have 100 IRE of video and 40 IRE of
sync. The scope can display two frames of video (what we
normally leave ours set at) or a single frame of video.
You can use the scope to tell if the video frequency response
of the device that the scope is monitoring is correct. It
gives an indication of the chroma level. The only use I know
of for the scope is to monitor video. The scope is fairly
old. The CRT is unique to this scope. I work at a TV station
and use different vintage waveform monitors at the station.
Hopefully all that I have stated is true for this monitor.
Some waveform monitors allow you to view a single line of video.
