About Link Electronics 812-OP/F

Take your video and audio production to the next level with the sophisticated SPG-812 (OP/F) SD SDI Test Signal Generator, a cutting-edge addition to the Genflex family of modules. This advanced digital test set module is designed for professionals seeking precision and reliability in their test signal generation. With the ability to select from sixteen distinct digital video test patterns, the SPG-812 (OP/F) offers versatility and ease of use, whether through its intuitive front panel switch or the remote control unit, the 812TRC.

The SPG-812 (OP/F) seamlessly integrates into your existing setup, allowing for genlock synchronization with incoming video when paired with either an analog SPG-812 (OP/C) or a digital SPG-812 (OP/D) genlock module in slot #2 of the SPG-812 chassis. This module is responsible for distributing timing pulses across the motherboard bus, ensuring that all counters within the complex programmable logic devices are perfectly timed with an external reference.

Designed for flexibility, the SPG-812 (OP/F) can be installed in any slot of the chassis, except for those designated for the digital/analog audio test set and power supply. When occupying the genlock slot #1, it acts as the master, dictating the timing pulses for the motherboard and synchronizing all slaved modules to it. Note that in this position, the SPG-812 (OP/F) relies solely on its internal time base or free run mode, as it cannot genlock to external video.

In free run mode, the frequency of the VCXO is finely adjustable via a front panel control, ensuring that your test signals are always on point. Each output module supports both 525/60 (NTSC) and 625/50 (PAL) operations, with three outputs per module and individual infinite timing adjustments for unparalleled control.

The SPG-812 (OP/F) also features a dual audio tone generator capable of producing Silent, 0dB, -10dB, and -20dB levels, adding another layer of testing capability. The 812-OP/F plug-in module delivers 16 pristine SDI serial digital (SDI) test signals, including 100% and 75% color bars, SMPTE color bars, various step patterns, ramps, pulse and bar, field square wave, SDI pathological pattern, multiburst, line sweep, and solid color fields.

For uninterrupted operation, the PCO-818 automatic pulse change-over modules offer both independent and synchronized operation. Link two PCO-818 change-over chassis to ensure that all modules switch simultaneously in the event of a failure in the master generator, providing you with a fail-safe mechanism for continuous performance.

The SPG-812 (OP/F) SD SDI Test Signal Generator is the epitome of high-tech testing equipment, designed for professionals who demand precision, flexibility, and reliability in their video and audio production environments.
