Some installations use 525/59.94 and 625/50 component signals simultaneously or switch between standards regularly. Dual-standard operation is possible with the SPG 422 architecture. Also important for dual-standard operation, is the ability of the SPG 422 to output audio tones locked to the video standard(s) in use. 1–1...
Specifications The SPG 422 has a front-panel interface that controls all instrument functions. Also, the user can control the SPG 422 via either a parallel ground-closure remote or RS-232. The ground-closure remote provides simple control of a few major instrument functions, while the RS-232 implementation is a SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) command language interface, with most of the front-panel interface capabilities.

Analog Black reference signal either with or without burst. If burst is not present, then the SPG 422 can lock to the sync (instead of burst lock). Configure the genlock as either a loopthrough or two terminated inputs.
Figure 2–2A shows the genlock as a loopthrough signal from genlock A to genlock B. This application is common when the SPG 422 is close to the master sync generator and the master sync still has other equipment to feed.
There are at least two analog black outputs available from the rear panel. (If the SPG 422 is Option 1, then there are six analog black outputs.) Configure each separately for standard, timing, and signal type. If the selected standard is different from the genlock input, then it locks to the internal oscillator that is “clock-locked”...
Theory of Operation This section provides block-level information on how the SPG 422 circuitry works, for board-level troubleshooting. See Figure 3–1 for an SPG 422 block diagram. Component-level troubleshooting information is provided later, in a section titled Detailed Circuit Description.

The 27 MHz clock is used by the Genlock Controller and DDS. The Fine Phase and SCH measurement circuits use the 108 MHz. The Fine Phase circuit consists of four identical circuits. The resulting signal is used to drive the test signal and option 1 timing. 3–3 SPG 422 Service Manual (B034000 and above)
Audio parallel-to-serial converters take parallel audio data and convert it into a serial data stream. The Audio Output circuit takes the signals from the parallel-to-serial converters and buffers, balances, and raises the amplitude to drive either the 100 outputs or 75 BNCs. 3–4 SPG 422 Service Manual (B034000 and above)

Option 1 Board The SPG 422 Option 1 board contains four identical, separate dual-standard black generators. Each generator runs on a 27 MHz master clock, with PAL and NTSC frame resets to synchronize them and some microprocessor setup information to program them.
Option 2 Board The Option 2 board produces the additional serial digital test signals that are available when Option 2 is installed in the SPG 422. The circuitry is identical to the Bars generation in the standard instrument. The Test Signal Generator is a complete generator, requiring only a master clock, a synchronous frame reset, and some setup information from the microprocessor.

In the case of the two standard Black Burst Generators, the 27 MHz clock is also delayed in sub-nanosecond increments, under processor control, before it arrives at the generator.

Activate the B, C MINUS A feature. Turn off the A register, and turn on the marker. The B register now contains the difference in dB between the two genlock inputs, and the marker is reading that difference.
Set the SPG 422 to terminate Genlock 1. b. Without altering any controls, remove the resistive load, and connect the SPG 422 Genlock 1 to the UNKNOWN arm of the return loss bridge. c. The difference between the A and B traces is the return loss.
Page 135
The difference between the A and B traces is the return loss. h. Check that the return loss for Genlock 2 is greater than 40 dB. Connect the precision terminator to the SPG 422 Genlock 1 input and set the SPG 422 to genlock loopthrough.

CH A, Black 4 to CH B1, Black 5 to CH B2, and Black 6 to CH B3. b. Use the SPG 422 front-panel menu change the Black 3 output to PAL. c. View the Black 3 signal CH A on the 1781 PAL vectorscope/waveform monitor.
Maintenance This section discusses the options available for servicing the Tektronix SPG 422. It also contains instructions for preventive maintenance, general troubleshooting, and corrective maintenance. If the instrument does not function properly, troubleshooting and corrective measures should be taken immediately to circumvent additional problems.
RS-232 commands. Ground-Closure Operation To set the SPG 422 Remote for ground-closure operation, place the remote cable on J9, labeled Parallel on the Digital board. See the Reference section of this manual for how to use the ground-closure commands.

12 months. This will help to ensure maximum performance and assist in locating defects that may not be apparent during regular operation. The Performance Verification and Adjustment Procedures are included in this manual. 6–4 SPG 422 Service Manual (B034000 and above)
Ensure that the malfunction exists in the instrument. This is done by making sure Procedures that the instrument is operating as intended by Tektronix (see Operating Instructions), and by checking that a malfunction has not occurred before the signal entered the SPG 422.
In addition, there are training programs that are available for service technicians. NOTE. When considering which service offerings best suit the current need, remember that Tektronix provides a limited parts and service warranty for all its products. No customer repairs should be attempted during the instrument warranty period.

Replaceable Electrical Parts list of this manual. Troubleshooting Aids There are several troubleshooting aids that the SPG 422 provides. These include: Diagnostic LEDs, the diagnostics from the front panel, and the S1 diagnostic switch on the Digital board.
There are three types of diagnostics, including: C. Diagnostic runs continuously until switch is moved to new position U. User feedback only (using LEDs, LCD display, scope display, etc.) P. Processor feedback (using LCD display or RS-232) 6–9 SPG 422 Service Manual (B034000 and above)
Port diagnostic This routine walks through the decoded addresses to allow the user to trou- bleshoot address decoder problems. This routine confuses the processor system, so it reboots when exiting the routine. 6–10 SPG 422 Service Manual (B034000 and above)
