- Post-Production and Broadcast Facilities
- Automated Manufacturing Test
The TG2000 is a multiformat, analog and digital, precision signal generation
platform. Designed for the most demanding test applications, the TG2000
provides reference quality test signals, stressing functions in both the analog
and digital domains and the flexibility to address user-defined testing
requirements. Comprehensive test signal libraries are supplied in all
formats and are supplemented by a Windows-based test signal development program.
The modular architecture, RAM-based test signal generators, and programmable
system clocks ensure the TG2000 will meet future needs as well as today's
requirements.
Modules:
AVG1 Digital Video Generator
The AVG1 is a high accuracy, multiformat
analog test signal generator. The AVG1 supports NTSC, PAL, PAL-D, PAL-M,
PAL-N, SECAM, RGB, YC, and Y, B-Y, R-Y. Signal generation architecture is
12bit, 27MHz component with digital modulation for composite signals. This
ensures high accuracy, distortion free signals within a 6 MHz video bandwidth
and signals suitable for many applications up to 8 MHz
DVG1 Digital Video Generator
The DVG1 is a multiformat digital test signal generator. The DVG1
supports NTSC composite and 525 and 625 component digital sampled at 13.5 and 18
MHz. Parallel and serial outputs are provided.
Full field and active picture CRC generation is supported on the serial digital
outputs and may be turned on and off from the front panel. Up to 16
channels of 20-Bit audio sampled at 48 kHz and locked to the video sampling
clock may be embedded on the serial digital video output. Frequency and
level for each channel may be set from the front panel
AWVG1 Analog Wideband Video Generator
The AWVG1 is a 30 MHz bandwidth test signal generator intended primarily for
generation of wideband frequency and transient response test signals. The
AWVG1 can be used as a source of tri-level sync. Signal Generation is 12
bits with 72 MHz sampling that ensures very low distortion T pulse generation
for bandwidths up to 6 MHz. A fully programmable zone plate generator is
included. AWVG1 output is analog composite
HDVG1 Digital HDTV Generator -
Discontinued with no replacement
The HDVG1 is a high accuracy, multiformat, high-definition test signal
module that provides three 1.485 Gb/s serial digital video test signal outputs
in 1080i/60, 59.94, 1080p/25, and 24 Hz rates and 720p formats in 60 and 59.94
field rates. It is programmable with the included SDP2000 PC based signal
development software HDST1 Stress
Test Module - Discontinued with no replacement
The HDST1 is a HD-SDI Stress Test module that supports stress
test capability for 1.485 and 1.485/1,001 Gb/s HD-SDI signals. The HDST1
takes in a single HD-SDI signal and outputs a stressed HD-SDI signal. HD
signals from test signal generators (including the HDVG1 module), as well as
from HD camera, VTRs, or switchers, can be used as the input signal.
Signal stressing options include jitter (amplitude or frequency), amplitude,
duty cycle, and random error insertion. The HDVG1 is recommended as a
signal source, since it is capable of providing a signal with low residual
jitter, as well as the ability to incorporate its frequency offset stress
feature.
SDP2000 Signal Development Program
The SDP2000 is a Windows-based software program that provides facilities to
edit signals in the factory-supplied test signal libraries and to create new
signals for special applications. Line and frame editing functions permit fast,
easy changes to full field test signals and composition of multi-segment matrix
signals for automated testing applications. Modified and new signals may be
named and stored in the factory test signal libraries or in new user-created
libraries. Internal and External Reference Operation
The TG2000 has a high stability internal reference making it suitable as the
master house reference for most broadcast and production/post-production
applications. A black burst output, selectable for NTSC or PAL, is provided with
the TG2000 mainframe. Remote Control
The TG2000 provides a versatile and comprehensive remote control system. All
front panel functions and controls are available via the RS-232 and optional
GPIB ports. A subset of those functions is available via ground closure control
Ordering Guidelines:
- At least one signal generation module must accompany each TG2000
mainframe
- Only one AGL1 Genlock Module per TG2000 mainframe
- Only one GP1 GPIB Interface Module per each TG2000 mainframe
- Signal generator modules (AVG1, DVG1) may be combined in any mix
desired up to the TG2000 mainframe limit of 8. The mainframe may
contain a maximum of 4 of any combination of HDVG1 and AWVG1 modules
- Only one HDST1 module per TG2000 mainframe. Additional
limitations may apply, depending upon other modules loaded in a mainframe
configured with an HDST1.
- The performance of the TG2000 is degraded to the E4 environment for
radiated emissions only when operating with a combination of HDVG1 and HDST1
in HD-SDI stress testing applications
- Add Opt. 88 to each item ordered. This will ensure your TG2000
package will come assembled and calibrated as a single unit.
- Modules ordered to add to an existing TG2000 package do not require
Opt. 88
