Bird is a puffin. Black and white with a coloured beak, and not common in Australia outside of a zoo.

And fast flying so a fast colour device.

50R termination going to be well cooked if you put more than 2V into it, going to say you will have a call for inputs to have a warning on that mode, or you will be cooking input resistors within a week if you have anything over naff all input power.

NGL something about Dave's accent plus all the enthusiasm always manages to brighten up a day regardless of whatever hes talking about lmao

Thanks for continuing to make outstanding content! Love the tear downs!

The RK3399's big value proposition is probably that x4 PCI-Express port, which makes for a very convenient way to talk to logic on FPGAs. They might even map the waveform store RAM directly into the SoC's address space.

I wonder if the heatsinking could be more about minimising temperature for stability than having to dissipate a lot of heat

[BenjaminEggerstedt]

Your excitement for technology makes this even more fun to watch :)

Dave, you make my day.
The Sharp Stereo radio-cassette player - I had this model (or very look-like) back in 1984, in Deva, Romania.
An yes, as always, a great educational video.
Live Long and Prosper.
Cheers!

Puffin are a kids book publisher in the UK (part of Penguin books) so that bird outline is very familiar here in the old dart.

Kudos to Rigol. I can't wait to see the HDO1000 series.

[Cmensailing]

You are a true legend Dave only you do there great teardowns! Way to go Mcgyver

That bird is an Atlantic Puffin, aka Sea Parrot, and their colorful beaks are teardown.

Looked at using a 4053 for a sample+hold circuit once. The worst-case ratio between on-current and off-current wasn’t extreme enough. Ended up making a large spreadsheet, and settled on using a DG444.

excited for hdo1000 with12bit at $999. would be very nice to check for whether it actually has that 50 ohm input not mention in datasheets but stated in ui and the front panel.

Marvellous teardown ! Not a patch on my Scopex 14-d 15Mhz scope but... ( I'm in tears, I want a proper scope !!! )

[nightshadelenar]

an interesting note with the closer look around 24:25.
the micron memory there (and likely for the SoC as well) is 4Gb/512MB x16 width DDR3L 1866MT/s memory, so there is 2GB total RAM there, which makes sense with the ongoings under the hood. the 3399 ARM SoC has a PCIe 3.0x4 link which also makes it easier for coms to the FPGA with low latency, as a few people in the comments here have mentioned. this is fitting given it's 2Gs/s would be too much for serial unlike lower sample rate and bandwidth scopes.

Rockchip 3399 is commonly used for android boards. I think Linux will run on a wide range due to the large community but I always see the rockchip 3399 and the older 3288 on android devices- it’s probably because there is well validated software to run on it. The two buttons populated are recover and reset and I always see them populated regardless of if it’s intended to be worked on. Somehow it must be required. I’m working on a 3288 now trying to hack an old advertising display with touch screen on it. It’s supposed be to be “pretty powerful” for android because it’s also found commonly in Chromebooks

It's a Puffin. A Puffin is a seabird seen around the forth river estuary islands in Scotland.

[Petertronic]

That mouse insisting on drawing polygons was quite funny. Nice teardown!

If you have chance, please do review of R&S MXO 4 12bit oscope

2 diff pairs for the quadrature IQ outputs, 1 pair for each.
