LT443D
Plug-In Modules Expand The Capability Of The
Multiformat Signal Generator
Multi Format Video Generator Main Frame
The LT443D Multiformat Video Generator Mainframe can be
used for multiformat digital broadcast systems. Various plug-in
modules enable the output of SDI signals (i.e. HDTV, SDTV),
sync signals, and analog signals. With these signals and
genlock functions, timing is settable in increments of frames,
lines, pixels or clock intervals. Users can customize the signal
generator as desired.
• ID Character Blinks
A 20-character ID display function is provided with selectable
blink on/off times to verify live program channel. A natural
picture pattern and logo can be superimposed with a
compact flash memory card (containing user bit map data)
installed to optional internal RAM.
• Various Patterns Include Stress Testing
With the SDI module installed, monoscope, natural picture,
and basic color patterns can be output. High-speed pattern
FEATURES
• Applicable To Multiformat HDTV
For the SDI signals, a 20 format HDTV module and a 525
line/625 line SDTV module are provided. The NTSC/PAL
composite analog video signal generator is available with the
10-field ID signal.
Since each module is capable of simultaneous outputs, a
multiformat system can be constructed to include both 74.25
MHz and 74.25/1.001 MHz outputs as the system grows.
MULTIFORMAT VIDEO GENERATOR
• Easy-to-use Sync Signals
For today's digital TV systems, BB (NTSC/PAL) and HDTV triIevel sync signals can be generated simultaneously. Timing is
set in intervals of frame, line, pixels or clock.
switching while scrolling at selectable directions and rates
stress tests systems for digital motion artifacts.
• Embedded Audio
Embedded audio in all SDI modules have capabilities to set
separate channel level, frequency, click ID, or silence. Setting
individual channel levels in 1 dB steps (0 to -60dBfs) allows
confirmation of system channel parade order. Choosing from
30 discrete frequencies allows confirmation of Lfe
encode/decoders.
• Digital Black Outputs
All digital black outputs for SDB and HDB modules can set the
raster to 0%/40%/50% flat field, embedded audio has same
capabilities as SDI outputs plus separately timeable in frame,
line, pixel or clock intervals.
• User-friendly Operability
Leader's traditional design and operability concepts are
reflected in this instrument. User-friendly operation includes
significantly reduced power-on initialization time required in a
highperformance instrument.
