PTG 5610 - DISCONTINUED

Video and Audio Test Generator

Datasheet Reference Manual

Description

The P TG 5610 is a versatile multi-rate video and AES test generator which can generate video test signals in 525/625 plus HDTV formats.

Provides 2 independent simultaneous video outputs with 4 channels of external AES plus 16 channels of embedded audio with user adjustable frequency, audio gain, and bit depth plus selectable momentary pause (silence) for left and right channels to assist with left and right channel ID.

The module Includes a large library of internal test patterns, including the dynamic EBU A/V Sync pattern which can be used for “transmission alive” and audio video lip sync testing. Other dynamic patterns includes a real-time luma and chroma zoneplate generator and LCD persistence test.

Additional test patterns can be loaded via the compact flash slot (option) and even user defined using the standard DPX file format. Each output can have an independent user defined character overlay.

Genlock input is cross lock compatible and will lock to SDTV bi level or HDTV tri level sync with one frame of adjustable input timing for SYNC and Video timing. Analog sync output can be bi level or tri level and decoupled from output format.

The module include a local matrix and menu system for local control. All settings are stored in Flash RAM and will survive power cycles and long term storage. PC remote control and status monitoring possible when used with one of the available controller options.


EBU A/V Sync Pattern

This dynamic pattern is unique to the Testor and can be used to verify a number of video and audio performance issues within a modern digital broadcast infrastructure. Click for an animated demo and more information on this pattern.
