3 Overview
The SG-6006 is a broad c a st qualit y, multi-standard SPG (Sync Pulse Generator)
with black burst, color bar, and audio tone outputs. It has eight composite video
and four SDI outputs on BNC connectors. The analog video outputs—and the four
SDI outputs—can be configured as either a black burst or a color bar signal.
In particular, the SG-6006:
• Has audio outputs available in AES 75Ω (AES-3id) and AES-EBU digital
formats, as well as in unbalanced and balanced analog audio formats
• Has balanced audio and AES/EBU output s on XLR connectors, AES 75Ω
(AES-3id), SDI and composite video outputs on BNC connectors, and
unbalanced audio outputs on RCA connectors. All outputs are available
simultaneously
• Offers a choice of nine color bars (for video outputs), and you can set the
timing parameters, SCH and phase
• Features adjustme n ts fo r t he freque ncy and amplitude
• Features various options for SDI audio embedding
• Can be genlocked to an external composite video source via its looping input
with selectable termination
The SG-6006 is housed in a 19” 1U rack mountable enclosure, and is fed from a
100-240 VAC universal switching power supply.
The SG-6006 can be operated via the front pa nel buttons with an LCD and a userfriendly 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 lo w quality cables)
• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal qualit y and posit ion your SG-6006 away from moisture,
excessive sunlight and dust

7.3 Remotely Operating the SG-6006 via RS-232
You can remotely operate the SG-6006 via RS-232 using a device s uch as a PC .
To connect a PC to the SG-6006 unit using the Null-modem adapter prov ide d
with the machine (re c ommended):
• Connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub rear p anel port on the SG-6006 unit to the
Null-modem adapter and connect the Null-modem adapter with a 9-wire flat
cable to the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on your PC
To connect a PC to the SG-6006 unit, without using a Null-modem adapter:
• Connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on your PC to the RS-232 9-pin D-sub
1 Insert a pulse signal and select the pulse rate
