Tektronix SPG600
Digital Sync Generator
Description
The Tektronix SPG600 and the SPG300 Sync Pulse Generators have synchronization and test signals for both traditional analog and for mixed digital and analog facilities which are in both the NTSC/525 and the PAL/625 environments. These products are ideal as a stable master sync signal, and this is critical in digital broadcast environments. When the SPG600/SPG300 is configured for Stay GenLock mode, there will be a momentary loss of synchronization at the genlock reference input but will not cause a disturbance in the units test signal and black outputs. When the genlock signal is reapplied the SPG system will gradually reacquire lock, this will only cause a little disruption in the outputs of the device, and it will not cause any noticeable glitches in the outputs of the SPG. The GEN lock source can be NTSC/PAL Black Burst, NTSC/PAL Sync or CW. When using CW lock, the GEN lock timing can be adjusted on all the NTSC or PAL color frames
Key Points
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
