9960-TG2-REF1 - Overview

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.<

  • Features:

    • 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 packages, 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
