Tektronix Video Signal Generators
SPG600 and SPG300
|
Features & Benefits
- Two models, SPG600 (full rack
width) and SPG300 (half rack width), which provide all of the conventional
video and audio signals that you need in one unit, Analog Black-burst/Test
Signal, SD-SDI Black/Test Signal, AES/EBU Digital and Analog Audio
Signal
- Stay GenLock™ – Unique, robust Genlock mode provides
stable synchronization signals, for digital and traditional broadcast
facilities
- All analog and SD-SDI signal output channels are
configurable with selection of black-burst or test signal outputs
- SNMP and Web remote control makes it easy to integrate the units
into any operational environment
- Choose between two form
factors; Full rack width - SPG600, or Half rack width - SPG300
- Optional fine timing offset feature for analog video outputs
– SPG600/SPG300 Option 01
- Up to 8 optional Analog Black-burst/Test
Signal outputs with independent timing offset – SPG600 Option 02
- Up to 4 optional SD-SDI Black/Test Signal outputs with independent
timing adjustment – SPG600 Option 03
Applications
- Broadcast master sync generator
- Unique and robust Genlock – Stay GenLock™
- Genlock to
house master sync
The
SPG600 and SPG300 Sync Pulse Generators provide synchronization and
test signals for both traditional analog and mixed digital and analog
facilities, in both NTSC/525 and PAL/625 environments. These products
are ideal as a stable master sync signal, which is critical in digital
broadcast environments. When the SPG600/SPG300 is configured for Stay
GenLock mode, a momentary loss of synchronization at the genlock reference
input will not cause a disturbance in the unit's test signal and black
outputs. When the genlock signal is reapplied the SPG system will
gradually reacquire lock, causing little disruption in the outputs
of the device, and will not cause any noticeable glitches in the outputs
of the SPG. The Genlock source can be NTSC/PAL Black Burst, NTSC/PAL
Sync, or CW. When using CW lock, the Genlock timing can be adjusted
on all the NTSC or PAL color frames.
Analog Black-burst/Test
Signal Outputs
The SPG600 and SPG300 each provide four black-burst
output channels which may be independently timed over the full NTSC
or PAL color frame range. The black-burst output channels can be configured
as a black-burst or a test signal output, providing outstanding flexibility
to handle your production facility's needs. In analog-to-digital transition
environments especially, the sync generator needs to provide a variety
of sync outputs. The SPG600 and SPG300 are suitable for use as a master
sync generator for small facilities or as a slave sync generator in
larger environments. With Option 02 the SPG600 can provide four additional
black-burst outputs, and with Option 01 the fine timing offset can
be individually adjusted for each black-burst output in 0.1 ns increments,
to support timing adjustments to analog systems.
The SPG600
and SPG300 also provide basic test signals for analog facilities.
These test signal outputs can include ID text (up to 20 characters)
or logo insertion. The ID text or logo may be positioned anywhere
in the viewable area and, if desired, be made to blink.
Serial
Digital Video Outputs
The SPG600 and SPG300 provide two independently
timed SD SDI black outputs with full frame range for 525/60 or 625/50.
The SD SDI black output channel can be configured to provide SD SDI
black or SD SDI test signals, similar to the analog black-burst outputs.
With Option 03 the SPG600 offers two additional SD SDI black outputs.
The SPG600 and SPG300 also provide fundamental test signals for
digital broadcast environments, which are selected individually from
the analog test signals. As with the analog outputs, up to 20 characters
of ID text or your logo can be inserted into the signal, positioned
anywhere in the image, and, if desired, set to blink.
There
are 16 channels of embedded audio which can be active in the SD SDI
outputs. Audio Click (1 s, 2 s, 3 s, and 4 s) is available for easy
channel identification.
AES/EBU Digital Audio Outputs
The SPG600 provides four BNC connectors and two XLR connectors
for AES/EBU Digital Audio. Frequency and level can be set on the eight
AES/EBU unbalanced outputs, and each channel can have separate Audio
Click channel identification. The two XLR balanced outputs can be
set up to match the 1+2 and 3+4 BNC outputs. One-word clock output
is available.
The SPG300 provides two XLR connectors for AES/EBU
Digital Audio, and provides a one-word clock output.
Analog
Audio Outputs
The default setting for the two XLR outputs
is AES/EBU digital audio. For analog audio applications, these two
XLR outputs can be configured as two analog audio outputs. Frequency,
level, and audio identification can be set on each channel.
SNMP and Web Remote Control
The SPG600 and SPG300 both support
SNMP, making it easy to integrate these generators into automated
service and maintenance functions. The Java applet based remote control
makes it easy to remotely control these generators, and the remote
monitoring software gives you a view of SPG300 or SPG600 operation
at a distance. The SPG600 and SPG300 also provide traditional GPI
features for reporting alarms and recalling presets.

noted, specifications are common to both the SPG600 and SPG300.
