The SPG 1708 is a compact, versatile analog sync pulse generator with genlock providing Tri-/ Bi-Level video sync and audio signals. The module offers three Tri-Level sync outputs, three Bi-Level sync outputs, and a separate Audio Sync output, with 48kHz Word Clock or Digital Audio Sync Signal (DARS) capabilities.
The sync generator has an accuracy of 2ppm, is robust and temperature stabilized. The flexible genlock capability allows the module to lock to any HD or SD Sync input, with full cross-lock functionality, even across unmatched standards. Bi-Level and Tri-Level sync outputs and audio sync signals are all frequency locked to the reference, regardless of the selected sync standard for the outputs. Output signals are timing locked if they are in the same frame rate group as the reference. Additionally, a delay in units of output line and pixel can be applied when remote controlling the SPG 1708 via yelloGUI.
Tri-Level Sync output Selections
- 1080i: 50Hz / 59.94Hz / 60Hz
- 1080p: 23.98Hz / 24Hz / 25Hz / 29.97Hz / 30Hz / 50Hz / 59.94Hz / 60Hz
- 720p: 23.98Hz / 24Hz / 25Hz / 29.97Hz / 30Hz / 50Hz / 59.94Hz / 60Hz
- 1080psf: 23.98Hz / 24Hz
Available sync formats for Bi-Level Sync are NTSC, PAL, or PAL M/N. In addition it can output Color Bars, Black Burst, or just the Sync signal with selectable 7.5 IRE pedestal for NTSC standards with adjustable burst phase in 8 increments. The Tri-level sync outputs can be set to any of the available HD/3G standards.
User controls are located on the top side of the module, clearly labeled, and easily accessible. When remote controlling the device via USB, more options and settings are available with the LYNX Centraal or yelloGUI software.
