When precision and versatility are paramount in synchronizing video and audio signals for HDTV and SDTV systems, the Lynx Technik AG SPG 1708 Analog Sync Pulse Generator with Genlock emerges as the industry standard. This durable and advanced module is engineered to deliver high-quality, reliable sync pulses, ensuring seamless integration and synchronization for professional broadcast environments.
The SPG 1708 is a compact yet innovative solution, offering a comprehensive range of outputs including three Tri-Level sync outputs and three Bi-Level sync outputs, along with a dedicated Audio Sync output. This output versatility is complemented by the inclusion of both 48kHz Word Clock and Digital Audio Sync Signal (DARS) capabilities, catering to a broad spectrum of audio and video synchronization needs.
With an exceptional accuracy of 2ppm and a temperature-stabilized design, the SPG 1708 stands out for its robust performance under varying operational conditions. The genlock feature of this sync generator is highly flexible, allowing it to lock onto any HD or SD Sync input. Its full cross-lock functionality is particularly noteworthy, as it maintains synchronization even when dealing with unmatched standards.
The frequency-locked outputs, including Bi-Level and Tri-Level sync outputs and audio sync signals, remain consistent with the reference signal, regardless of the sync standard selected for the outputs. This ensures that output signals are timing locked when they share the same frame rate group as the reference. For precise alignment, the SPG 1708 allows for the application of delays in units of output line and pixel, which can be controlled remotely via the yelloGUI software.
The SPG 1708 supports a wide array of Tri-Level Sync output selections, including multiple frame rates for 1080i, 1080p, 720p, and 1080psf formats, ensuring compatibility with various HDTV standards. For Bi-Level Sync, it accommodates NTSC, PAL, and PAL M/N formats. The module also offers the flexibility to output Color Bars, Black Burst, or just the Sync signal, with a selectable 7.5 IRE pedestal for NTSC standards and adjustable burst phase in 8 increments.
User controls are thoughtfully positioned on the top side of the module, clearly labeled for ease of use. For those requiring deeper customization, the SPG 1708 can be remotely controlled via USB, unlocking a wider range of options and settings through the intuitive yelloGUI software.
In summary, the SPG 1708 HDTV / SDTV Analog Sync Pulse Generator with Genlock is an essential tool for professionals in the audio and video industry who demand a high channel count, SDI audio interface compatibility, and a reliable sync pulse generator that can adapt to a multitude of broadcast standards.
