For broadcasters and mobile trucks looking to future-proof their installations, the 9400 3 Gb/s Signal Generator and Test Pattern Generator offers every signal needed for a complete house reference system. 3 Gb/s and 1.5 Gb/s HD SDI, SD SDI, analog composite, HD Tri-Level Sync, timecode, AES audio and analog audio reference outputs are generated. It provides the most types of simultaneous outputs of any TSG available. New closed caption test signals help broadcaster trouble shoot closed caption data carriage through a signal chain. The built-in memory card allows creation of custom test patterns and audio clips.
Both manufacturers and broadcasters are expressing a real need for our new 3G TSG, said Mondae Hott, Director of Sales at Ensemble Designs. “Equipment manufacturers need a solid 3 Gb/s test pattern and sync pulse generator for developing equipment in the lab.”
All Avenue frames are 3G capable. Customers can use the new 3G modules in their existing Avenue frames.
For the ultimate in precision reference, the 7400-GPS option can be used with the 9400 3G/HD/SD SPG and TSG module. It’s a reliable timing source that is well suited for local reference generation in broadcast, remote trucks and post.
For facilities using 3G the issue of monitoring the signal becomes a challenge. The
