INTRODUCTION

The BG-SDITPG 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI Pattern Generator is an advanced SDI pattern generator with
multi-format (12G/6G/3G/HD/SD) and multi-pattern support. Besides still and moving video test patterns,
other features such as audio (SMPTE-291M) are also provided. BG-SDITPG can support up to 8 channel
AES compliant audio with 48KHz sample rate. BG-SDITPG is equipped with 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.

NOTICE

1. In HDMI bypass mode, users must be aware that the jitters coming from HDMI sources, such as DVD
players, may be much higher than typical requirement according to SMPTE request on HD-SDI signals.
This will result in SDI output with high jitters or even no SDI outputs!

2. Due to the high frequency bandwidth and low jitter requirement of 3G-SDI signals, it is strongly
recommended to use just one SDI OUTPUT with one 75 ohm.

3. Features including timings and patterns may change without notice after the firmware is updated!
