V-SG4K-HDI is a programmable UHD (Ultra High De nition) capable Test Pattern Generator,
packed with features for video and audio testing of HDMI® sources, sinks and extenders.
V-SG4K-HDI Generates standard format signals up to 4K x 2K 60Hz 4:2:0 which is recently de ned
as part of the HDMI® 2.0 speci cation (UHD).
Thanks to its small size and low power consumption (only 0.4A) the VSG4K-HDI can be powered
from practically any USB power source. It is highly portable and can easily t into a toolbox or be
used in an array of daisy chained devices for product development/testing. Several can t on a 19”
Rack shelf.
The V-SG4K-HDI has a built in 0.95-inch AMOLED display, which shows the generated pattern and
format setting parameters.
A professional programmable sine wave generator is integrated for performing audio tests and
when needed, an external analog audio source can be used via a 3.5 mm stereo socket on the rear
panel. This input accepts an unbalanced 1V/pp stereo analog audio source.
V-SG4K-HDI is programmable via the USB connector or via the RS-232 3-pin Phoenix connector.
Advanced control is available through the included Windows® compatible software application.
For purposes of creating large test systems or multi-device measurement protocol functionality,
customers can use the serial Loop-Out port via second Phoenix 3 pin terminal.
Through this functionality, users can set up a large test system by “daisy chaining” multiple
V-SG4K-HDI generators. This can be useful to test UHD distribution devices or complex UHD
networks for example.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
• Please read User Guide before using this product.
• Please keep User Guide for future reference.
• Please read the cautions to prevent possible danger and loss of property.
