I had originally looked at higher resolution displays, but they had some red flags that I wanted to avoid. ![]() My other concern was that the vertical resolution would be too small to have quality visual output, but I’ve had no issues with the output quality considering this will only be displaying scope UI. Obviously we’re not using it for that and I was reluctant in using this display for fear that quality and refresh rates would be lacking. It has built-in playback support for connecting USB thumb drives to loop images, video, and audio (with internal speakers) for in-store marketing purposes. This particular display is an “advertising bar display” with a resolution of 1920×360. This display came directly from China via DHL (with not so-great-packaging that took a while to ship) but so far the unit has worked well, despite the lack of manuals. This LCD strip display is obviously the focus of this setup. One of the advantages of that particular setup was the full-size screen allowed for extensive zoom-in control (something that can still be done if you keep reading). These included rasterizers from Tektronix and Magni, and then computer-based solutions including Blackmagic Design UltraScope, Divergent Media ScopeBox, and now Time In Pixels Nobe OmniScope. When rasterizing scopes came into the scene in the 90’s/00’s, I used dedicated full-size screens to view their scope output (at the time, 4×3 LCD panels, then later 16×9 and 16×10 panels). I always liked this size because it has the ability to sit under your color reference monitor and above your control surface/keyboard system in direct line-of-sight. I started using Tektronix CRT-based waveform vectorscopes back in the 90’s that were somewhat similar in physical size to this LCD strip panel. ![]() This wasn’t a plug-and-play solution for me, but if you continue reading this article, it will be plug-and-play for you, along with several other bits and pieces that can assist in making the experience a better one. It seems to work well after a bit of trial and error over the past few days. I’m going to cut to the chase: Here is the link to the LCD strip panel I rolled the dice on and tested. Marco Solorio of OneRiver Media builds a waveform vectorscope solution based on a single-screen “LCD strip” with Stream Deck interactivity to switch between various scope layouts.
