LT 416
The ideal test signal source for those engaged in the
production, QC or service of TV/VCR and display systems
that cover international applications, the LT416 handles
NTSC, PAL, SECAM and a hybrid 525/59.94 format that
employs the PAL color system. Features include composite
and Y/C outputs with Y, B-Y, R-Y and GBR available
simultaneously. A comprehensive channel assignment
system coordinates modulation based on the chosen
system and the channel plan. Operation is simple and
straight forward assuring efficient application.
