Figure 1: S PG8000 Master Sync / Clock Reference Generator front and back panels
The SPG8000 is a precision multi-format video signal generator, suitable for master synchronization and reference
applications. It provides multiple video reference signals, such as black burst, HD tri-level sync, and serial digital and
composit
e analog test patterns, and it provides time reference signals such as time code and NTP (Network Time Protocol).

Time reference outputs are available in multiple formats. Three independent linear time code (LTC) outputs are available,
and a fourth LTC connection can b e used as input or output. Each LTC output has independent frame rate selection, time

PAL black output, also with independent time sources and offsets. The SPG8000 can also serve as a Network Time Protocol
(NTP) server, providing the time-of-day reference to network-attached devices.
Opti
The GPS option adds an internal GPS/GLONASS receiver to the SPG8000. When connected to an external antenna that
supplies the standard GPS and/or GLONASS RF signal, the SPG8000 can utilize the GPS/GLONASS system’s stable
frequency reference. The GPS and/or GLONASS signal also includes a precise time-of-day reference that can be used for all
time code outputs. Similar to the Stay GenLock
the GPS and/or GLONASS signal is interrupted, and the Holdover Recovery mode will ensure a shock-free re-alignment of
frequency and phase when the GPS and/or GLONASS signal is restored.
Earlier versions of the GPS module included a receiver that could receive only GPS signals. Later versions of the GPS
module include a receiver that can receive both GPS and GLONASS signals. See GPS receiver types to determine which
type of GPS receiver is installed in your instrument. (See page 12.)

Test signal outputs
The SPG8000 can be optionally configured with a variety of test signal outputs. Option BG adds two additional black outputs
and adds two composite analog outputs (NTSC or PAL) that can be used to generate test patterns such as color bars, or serve
as additional black burst outputs. Option SDI adds two fully independent serial digital video generator channels of two outputs
each. Each channel can be configured to any standard SD or HD-SDI format and frame rate. The selected test pattern can
be generated on both outputs per channel, or one output can generate digital black. Option 3G extends the functionality of
the SDI test signal outputs by adding 3 Gb/s SDI formats. A wide variety of standard test patterns are included, such as color
bars, convergence grid, step scales, ramps, multiburst, SDI pathologica l test matrix and a real-time programmable zone plate
generator. Bitmap images can be downloaded to the SPG8000’s flash memory for arbitrary user-defined test patterns. ID
text, burn-in time code, circle, and color logo overlays can be added to any test pattern, and several ancillary data packet
types, including ancillary time code and user-defined packets, c an be inserted into the SDI output signal.
Audio Reference Sig nals
Several audio reference signals are available on the SPG8000. The base configuration includes a 4 8 kHz word clock output,
and option
and the other four pairs are used for test tone generation, with independent tone frequency and amplitude settings for each of
the 8 channels. Audio tone generation is also included with the SDI option, as embedded audio on each of the SDI outputs.
AG adds five AES/EBU output pairs. One pair is dedicated to a Digital Audio Reference Signal (DARS) output,
Remote A
The SPG8000 includes a 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet interface for remote access to the instrument. A web-based user
interface can be used for all configuration settings and for monitoring system status. Alarm and key s tatus information is
also available via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) messaging, enabling easy integration with network
management systems. Remote control and alarm reporting is also available via a general purpose interface (GPI). The
SPG8000 has a front-panel USB port that can be used to backup and restore presets and other user data, and to perform
system firmware upgrades.
ccess
Optional Backup P ower Supply
For critical applications, the SPG8000 can be configured with a second power supply module. Under normal operation, the
nated backup supply is seldom used, ensuring that it has maximum remaining life should the primary supply fail. The
desig
backup supply is load-tested once each day to verify that it can serve as the primary supply if necessary. The usage time of
each supply is logged as “temperature-weighted hours”, a metric that best estimates the calculated life of the supply. A
t-panel LED will indicate when the supply is nearing its end-of-life. If the primary supply is interrupted for any reason, the
fron
system will switch to the backup without any disruption to system operation. Power supply modules are hot-swappable for
easy replacement, and feature a locking mechanism to prevent the power cable from accidental disconnection.

Initial product inspection
Perform the following product inspection procedure when you receive your instrument:
1. Inspect the shipping carton for external damage, which may indicate damage to the instrument.
2. Remove the SPG8000 generator from the shipping carton, and then check that the instrument has not been damaged in
transit. Prior to shipment the instrument is thoroughly inspected for mechanical defects. The exterior should not have
any scratches or impact marks.
NOTE. Save the shipping carton and packaging materials for instrument repackaging in case shipment becomes necessary.
3. Verify that the shipping carton contains the instrument, the standard accessories, and any optional accessories that you
ordered. (See Table 1.)
4. Verify that all of the product options that you ordered are installed:
Before installation, you can verify the hardware options by viewing the rear panel. (See Figure 5 on page 42.) After
installation, use the SYSTEM : OPTIONS menu selection to view which options are installed (GPS, BG, AG, and SDI).
If you ordered Option 3G and/or DBT when you purchased the instrument, these software option(s) should already
be enabled and you should have received a document showing the option key. After the instrument is installed, use
the SYSTEM : OPTIONS menu selection to verify that the option(s) is enabled. If you need to enter the option key,
see How to enter the option key (Options 3G and DBT only). (See page 85.)
Installation
The following example display shows all of the available hardware options (GPS, BG, AG, SDI) and software

Power connection
The SPG8000 operates from a single-phase power source with the neutral conductor at or near earth ground. The line
conductor is fused for over-current protection. A protective ground connection through the grounding conductor in the
locking power cord is essential for safe operation.
The standard instrument has one Power Supply module installed. With Option DPW, a second hot-swappable redundant
(backup) Power Supply module i s installed. When two Power Supply modules are installed in the instrument, one is
configured to be the primary supply and the other is configured to be the backup supply. In the event that the primary supply
fails, the backup supply will automatically provide power to maintain instrument operation. (See page 81, How to operate an
instrument with two power supplies (Option DPW only).)
CAUTION. The instrument does not have a power switch. When you connect the power cable to the AC line connector,
the instrument powers on.
Do not install or remove a Power Supply module when a power cord is attached to that module.
