Tektronix Video Signal Generators
SPG600 and SPG300 Data Sheet
Applications
The Sync signal generator family SPG600 (full rack width) and SPG300 (half rack width).
Features & Benefits
Two models, SPG600 (full rack width) and SPG300 (half rack
width), which provide all of the conventional video and audio signals
that you need in one unit, Analog Black-burst/Test Signal, SD-SDI
Black-burst/Test Signal, AES/EBU Digital and Analog Audio Signal
Stay GenLock™ – Unique, robust Genlock mode provides stable
synchronization signals, for digital and traditional broadcast facilities
All analog and SD-SDI signal output channels are configurable with
selection
SNMP and Web remote control makes it easy to integrate the units into
any operational environment
Choose between two form factors; Full rack width – SPG600, or Half
rack width – SPG300
Optional fine timing offset feature for analog video outputs –
SPG600/S
Up to 8 optional Analog Black-burst/Test Signal outputs with independent
timing offset – SPG600 Option 02
Up to 4 optional SD-SDI Black/Test Signal outputs w ith independent
timing adjustment – SPG600 Option 03

Unique and robust Genlock – Stay GenLock™
Genlock to house master sync
The SPG600 and SPG300 Sync Pulse Generators provide synchronization
and test signals for both traditional analog and mixed digital and analog
facilities, in both NTSC/525 and PAL/625 environments. These products are
ideal as a stable master sync signal, which is critical in digital broadcast
environmen
mode, a momentary loss of synchronization at the genlock reference input
will not c a use a disturbance in the unit's test signal and black outputs. When
the genlock signal is reapplied the SPG system will gradually reacquire lock,
causing little disruption in the outputs of the device, and will not ca use any
noticeable glitches in the outputs of the SPG. The Genlock source can be

Analog Black-burst/Test Signal Outputs
The SPG600 and SPG300 each provide four black-burst output channels
which may be independ ently timed o ver the full NTSC or PAL color frame
range. The black-burst output channels can be configured as a black-burst
or a test signal output, providing outstanding flexibility to handle your
production facility's needs. In analog-to-digital transition environments
especially, t
The SPG600 and SPG300 are suitable for use as a master sync generator
for small facilities or as a slave sync generator in larger environments. With
Option 02 the SPG600 can provide four additional black-burst outputs, and
with Option 01 the fine timing offset can be individually adjusted for each
black-burst output in 0.1 ns increments, to support timing adjustments to
analog syste
The SPG600 and SPG300 also provide basic test signals for analog
facilities. These test signal outputs can include ID text (up to 20 cha racters)
or logo insertion. The ID text or logo may be positioned anywhere in the

a and, if desired, be made to blink.
Serial Digital Video Outputs
The SPG600 and SPG300 provide two independently timed SD SDI black
outputs with full frame range for 525/60 or 625/50. The SD SDI black output
channel can be configured to provide SD SDI black or SD SDI test signals,
similar to the analog black-burst outputs. With Option 03 the SPG600 offers
two additional SD SDI black outputs.
The SPG600 and SPG300 also provide fundamental test signals for digital
broadcast environments, which are selected individually from the analog
test signals. As with the analog outputs, up to 20 characters of ID text or
your logo can be inserted into the signal, positioned anywhere in the image,
and, if desired, set to blink.
There are 16 channels of e mbedde d audio which can be active in the S D
