Just found this marketing vid for the DS1074Z. Needless to say, it's kinda stupid.

When the background images are more interesting than  the product ...

From the background we learn Rigol engineers work in the entrance hall of some building, and Rigol has some crammed test/production  facility, complete with motivation banner.

That wouldn't be surprising. Rigol even offers power supplies that work without being turned on

The marketing people might not be allowed where they do "real work", and thought "entrance hall is as good a place as any"...
