Product Description

Add Two Independent Sets of 3G-HD-SD-SDI Test & Test Signal Generation Output

The SPG8000A is a precision multiformat video signal generator, suitable for master synchronization and reference applications. It provides multiple video reference signals, such as black burst, HD tri-level sync, and serial digital and composite analog test patterns, and it provides time reference signals such as time code, NTP Network Time Protocol , and IEEE 1588 PTP Precision Time Protocol . The base configuration includes three sync outputs that can be configured with independent output formats and independently adjustable timing offsets.

Option SDI adds two fully independent serial digital video generator channels of two outputs each. Each channel can be configured to any standard 3G/HD/SD-SDI format and frame rate. The selected test pattern can be generated on both outputs per channel, or one output can generate digital black.

A wide variety of standard test patterns are included, such as color bars, convergence grid, step scales, ramps, multiburst, SDI pathological test matrix and a real-time programmable zone plate generator. Bitmap images can be downloaded to the SPG8000A s flash memory for arbitrary user-defined test patterns. ID text, burn-in time code, circle, and color logo overlays can be added to any test pattern, and several ancillary data packet types, including ancillary time code and user-defined packets, can be inserted into the SDI output signal.

• Four LTC outputs, VITC on black burst outputs, and NTP server provide time reference signals in a variety of formats
• PTP IEEE 1588 support, including SMPTE ST 2059-2 and AES67 profiles
• GPS/GLONASS-based synchronization gives an accurate time-of-day reference and deterministic video phase reference across multiple independent systems
• Wide selection of video test patterns in serial digital formats (SD, HD and 3G-SDI) and composite analog formats (NTSC and PAL)
• 4K/UHD formats support with full frame 100% and 75% color bars Quad Link Square Division

• Color: Black
• Amplitude Range: -8 dB to +6 dB
• Timing to Video: Compliant with SMPTE 12M and continues to operate over at least 90% of possible timing range
