Sdi 1-2 Output Connectors (Option Sdi Only); Word Clock Output Connector; Dars And Aes Audio Output Connectors (Option Ag Only); Composite Outputs And Black 4-5 Output Connectors (Option Bg Only) - Tektronix SPG8000A Installation And Safety Instructions

SDI 1-2 output connectors (Option SDI only)

With Option SDI, the following SDI signal BNC connectors are installed.
When the SECONDARY OUTPUT selection is set to Test Pattern for channel 1, the SIGNAL 1A and SIGNAL 1B
■
connectors will output the same test signal. The same is true for the channel 2 connectors when Test Pattern is set as the
SECONDARY OUTPUT selection for channel 2.
■ SIGNAL 1A: Outputs the selected SDI serial digital video test signal for channel 1.
SIGNAL 1B: This output can be configured to output a test pattern, where it produces the same output as the Signal 1A
■
output, or to output a Black signal in the same format as the Signal 1A output. Use the SDI button menu to configure the
secondary output. You can also configure the audio to be the same as Signal 1A, or to have no audio or muted audio. Use
the EMBED button menu to configure the audio on the secondary output.
■ SIGNAL 2A: Outputs the selected SDI serial digital video test signal for channel 2.
■ SIGNAL 2B: This output can be configured to output a test pattern, where it produces the same output as the Signal 2A
output, or to output a Black signal in the same format as the Signal 2A output. Use the SDI button menu to configure the
secondary output. You can also configure the audio to be the same as Signal 2A, or to have no audio or muted audio. Use
the EMBED button menu to configure the audio on the secondary output.

Word clock output connector

Outputs a 48 kHz word clock signal. You can set the output amplitude to 1 V (AC) or 5 V (DC). The word clock output and the
optional AES audio outputs can be synchronized to any of the three frame pulses, and the phase can adjusted relative to the
frame pulse. Use the AES button menu to configure the word clock output.

DARS and AES audio output connectors (Option AG only)

With Option AG, the following audio connectors are installed.
■ AES 1+2: Outputs channels 1 and 2 of the selected AES/EBU serial digital audio signal.
AES 3+4: Outputs channels 3 and 4 of the selected AES/EBU serial digital audio signal.
■
AES 5+6: Outputs channels 5 and 6 of the selected AES/EBU serial digital audio signal.
■
■ AES 7+8: Outputs channels 7 and 8 of the selected AES/EBU serial digital audio signal.
■ DARS: Outputs a DARS (muted audio) signal.
The word clock output and the AES audio outputs can be synchronized to any of the three internal frame pulses, and the phase
can adjusted relative to the frame pulse. Use the AES button menu to configure the word clock output.

Composite outputs and black 4-5 output connectors (Option BG only)

With Option BG, the following composite and additional Black outputs are installed.
CMPST 1: Outputs the selected composite video signal.
■
CMPST 2: Outputs the selected composite video signal.
■
■ BLACK 4: Outputs the selected black burst or HDTV trilevel sync signal.
■ BLACK 5: Outputs the selected black burst or HDTV trilevel sync signal.

REF loopthrough input connectors

Use the REF input loopthrough connectors for an external reference signal, which can be NTSC/PAL black burst or HDTV trilevel
sync signals. The reference input requires proper external termination. The signal may connect on to other devices via the loop
connection. However, the signal must be terminated eventually, either on the instrument or at the other device.
