Product Description

The all-new Cobalt 9960-TG2-REF1 3G/HD/SD-SDI Dual Test Signal Generator with Moving Box Active Signal Indication and Bi-Level Sync Out offers an easy to use, economical solution to providing comprehensive test signal packs to ensure validity of downstream baseband SDI systems. The 9960-TG2-REF1 is an unprecedented first in the high-density openGear based card form factor. Two independent generator blocks can be set to offer dual test packs which can be simultaneously outputted or selectively fed to a single downstream path via a 2x4 output crosspoint. The 9960-TG2-REF1 also provides AES and analog audio test tones (both using 24-bit data), and also provides waveform-based test data over its CVBS video output. A moving-box insertion can be enabled to serve as a dynamic raster confidence check.

• Comprehensive test signal generation for SDI/analog video and baseband discrete audio in an easily integrated openGear card
• Easy to use, intuitive, flexible, and far more economical than typical bench equipment
• Fully-independent dual generator blocks offer simultaneous output of user-configured test packs, or instant user selection between generators via output crosspoint
• Moving-box/motion insertion enable serves as an easy to use dynamic raster confidence check
• SDI import allows insertion of user static raster/patterns as an alternative addition to standard test pattern outputs
• DID/SDID authoring allows custom payloads to be written to specific DID/SDID locations as test packets for downstream systems
• Full suite of output interfaces - SDI, CVBS, AES and analog audio
• Convenience RS-485 LTC output works with legacy systems and checks bi-phase LTC/SMPTE 12M correlation in mixed systems
• Low-power/high-density design - less than 18 Watts per card
