Cobalt 9960-TG2-REF1 3G/HD/SDSDI Dual Test Signal Generator with Moving Box Active Signal Indication & Bi-Level Sync out

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 packages 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 packages 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. The 9960-TG2-REF1 can use either of two frame references to provide an output that?s synchronous with house ref, or use its internal ref timing to generate its own ref. A CVBS output offers bi-level reference output, line 21 CEA 608 closed-captioning and VITC waveform test sequences. Audio LTC test sequences are available over embedded, AES, and analog audio as well as via an RS-485 serial port.

Preset save/load allows saving custom card settings while allowing one-button revert to factory settings. Layered presets allow invoking changes related only to a specific area of concern while not changing any other settings or aspects. Full user DashBoard? or Remote Control Panel remote control allows full status and control access locally or across a standard Ethernet network. GPIO allows direct input routing control and status monitoring.<
