INTRODUCTION:
Atlona Technologies AT-3GSDI500 3G/HD/SD-SDI Signal Generator is an advanced SDI signal generator with
multi-format (3G/HD/SD) and multi-pattern support. Besides still and moving video test patterns, other features
such as audio (SMPTE-291M) are also provided. AT-3GSDI500 can support up to 8 channel AES compliant
audio with 48KHz sample rate. Another attractive feature of AT-3GSDI500 comes from bypassing HDMITH input
and allows users with more testing patterns for connected display or treats AT-3GSDI500 as an advanced
HDMITH to SDI converter with 3G capability. With portable size, AT-3GSDI500 is equipped four buttons and
LCM screen to ease the control. This device provides a cost effective way to calibrate and test SDI enable
video devices and displays.
