INTRODUCTION

Atlona’s AT-HDSDI500 SDI pattern generator with multi-format (HD/SD) and multi-pattern sup­port. Besides still and moving video test patterns, other features such as Closed Caption (CC)
(EIA-608) and VANC (SMPTE-334M) are also provided. With portable size, the AT-HDSDI500
is equipped with four buttons and ease to control LCM screen. This device provides a cost ef­fective way to calibrate and test SDI enable video devices and displays for many applications.
