Fluke 54100 Video Signal Generator
Fluke 54200 TV Signal Generator
®
The purest signals, the widest choice
Two models
There are two compact models in the
series. The Fluke 54100 Video Signal
Generator is the obvious choice for
testing video circuitry. The Fluke 54200
TV Signal Generator offers additional
sound test signals and a highly stable
RF output, making it ideal for complete
testing of TV sets, VCRs or other related
equipment. Both models offer selectable
TV standards (PAL, NTSC, SECAM), text
functions and a choice of signal outputs.
You can choose from a number of readily
available pre-configurations, or select an
instrument that precisely matches your
testing requirements, specifying options
from a range of stereo sound, data
services and interface functions. You’ll
find all details on the separate option
and ordering information inserts.
All applications
The digitally generated test signals of the
Fluke 54000 Series comply with the
recommendations of the CCIR, EBU, FCC,
ITU and EIA standards for analog television. This versatility, combined with
the high signal quality (stability and
purity) makes them ideal for testing TV
receivers, VCRs, camcorders, observation
systems and set-top decoder boxes, and
also for checking the performance of
individual sub-assemblies or components
used in these products.
Easy to Use
These generators are excellent examples
of Fluke’s reputation for easy-to-use
instruments:
• Select the main functions directly on
the front-panel keyboard. More
advanced functions can be accessed
using soft keys and the large LCD
(Liquid Crystal Display) with its familiar
graphical interface.
• Accurately set luminance and chrominance amplitudes with the up and
down keys or the numerical keyboard.
• Store up to 99 different test situation
settings for later instantaneous recall.
• Finally, to make it even more convenient, a number of country specific
settings have been pre-programmed.
Just think of the time this will save you.
Just what you need
Whether you work in development,
production, quality assurance, installation, maintenance or repair, there’s
always a model to suit your needs,
thanks to the standard capabilities of
these instruments, together with the
range of options. Their ease of use and
compact size makes them ideal, both for
personal use on the bench and for use
by a group of engineers. Need to make
automated measurements? It’s simple
with the Fluke 54000 Series, as you can
remotely control all functions via the
optional combined IEEE-488 (GPIB) and
RS-232 interface.
It’s all you need for accurate multi-
standard video and TV signal testing
Meet the 54000 Series from Fluke, a range of easy to use instruments to test TVs, VCRs, set top
boxes and other video equipment. According to any video standard. And with today’s widest choice
of highly accurate signals.
Covers all video standards
• Meets CCIR, EBU, FCC, ITU and EIA
analog television standards
• More than 500 digitally generated
test patterns for PAL, NTSC and
SECAM, including 16:9 and 4:3
aspect ratios
• High precision setting and indication
for video, chrominance and RF
amplitudes
• Very stable RF terrestrial output with
internal/external modulation, group
delay pre-correction and a level up to
100 mV

Multi or single standard
The Fluke 54100 Video Signal Generator
and the Fluke 54200 TV Signal
Generator are available with PAL, NTSC
and/or SECAM video standard options.
You can select any combination of these
standards to create a single, double or
triple standard unit. The appropriate sub
standards (system B, D, G, I, K, K1, L, M or
N) are enabled automatically.
Wide range of patterns
The Fluke 54000 Series are today’s most
versatile generators. On all models you
will find the test patterns and capabilities
you’ll need to test and align the total
video signal path. There are over 500
test patterns – for calibrating geometry
(in 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios), synchronization, focusing, static and dynamic
convergence. You’ll find signals for
checking bandwidth, interference (such
as cross-color), amplitude response,
tracking and clipping. As well as for color
reproduction, cut-off setting, high-voltage
stability, analog-to-digital conversion,
and much more. And your test results
will always be reliable, as all test
patterns are digitally generated to ensure
high stability and precise timing.
Stable RF output (Fluke 54200 only)
You need to do tuner and IF tests? The
terrestrial output on the Fluke 54200 TV
Signal Generator is just what you need.
Its highly stable signal covers the entire
RF frequency range from 32 to 900 MHz.
And you can set the frequency directly
with 50 kHz resolution. For fast and
precise reference, you can enter the
amplitude either in mV or dBµV and the
maximum output level is as high as
100 mV for the entire bandwidth.
Group delay pre-correction, also known
as group delay filtering, allows you to
test applications that need accurate
luminance and chrominance timing.

Push-button mono sound test signals
To help you test the mono sound capabilities
of TV receivers and VCRs, standard audio test
signals are available with every selected
stereo sound option on the Fluke 54200 TV
Signal Generator. Several tone frequencies
allow you to test the complete path for audio
sound. Operation is simple, as you can select
the main sound test functions directly on the
front panel. More specific settings, such as
sound carrier level, frequency and preemphasis, can be modified via soft keys.
Multi-system analog stereo
The analog stereo option supports various
two-carrier analog stereo systems, including
BG, A2 and Mk stereo. The B and G stereo
systems are often referred to as German or
'Zweiton' stereo. A2 stereo is used in
combination with both SECAM and PAL
television standards. It is transmitted in
several eastern European countries and is also
known as PAL/SECAM system DK stereo.
Mk is a two-carrier NTSC stereo sound system
and is used in Korea. For all these two-carrier
stereo systems, the analog stereo option
generates the appropriate pilots and delivers
tone frequencies in mono, stereo or dual
mode. Tone frequencies of 0.5, 1.0 and
3.0 kHz are included and for system M and N
the lowest frequency is 0.3 kHz. Using these
analog sound functions, you can test a variety
of audio parameters, such as channel
separation, signal to noise and harmonic
distortion. All signals are generated digitally,
to ensure high signal stability and purity.
