3 Overview
The SG-6005xl is a broadcast quality, multi-standard SPG (Sync Pulse Generator),
with black burst, color bar, and audio tone outputs. The SG-6005xl has 10
composite video outputs on BNC connectors, which can be configured as either a
black burst or a color bar signal.
In particular, the SG-6005xl:
• Features audio o utputs that are available in AES 75Ω (AES-3id) and
AES/EBU digital formats, as well as in unbalanced and balanced analog
audio formats. All of the outputs are available simultaneously
• Has balanced audio and AES/EBU outputs on XLR connector s, while the
AES-75Ω (AES-3id) are on BNC connectors, and the unbalanced audio
outputs are on RCA connectors
• Offers a choice of nine color bars, letting you set timing parameters, SCH
and phase
• Lets you adjust the frequency and amplitude for the audio signals
• Can genlock the SPG to an external composite video source via its looping
input with selectable termination
The SG-6005xl is housed in a 19” 1U rack mountable enclosure, and is fed from a
100-240 VAC universal switching power supply.
The SG-6005xl can be operated via the front panel buttons with an LCD and a
user-frie nd l y menu, and remotely operated via the RS-232 interface

3.1 Recommendations for Best Perfor m ance
.
To achieve the best performance:
• Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,
deterioration in signal q uality due to poor matching, and elevated noise
levels (often associated with low quality cables)
• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influe nce signa l quality and position your SG-6005xl away from
moisture , excessive sunlight and dust
