  • Page 7: Overview

    The 7751TG2-HD Test Signal Generator modules provide a cost-effective method of generating 1.5 Gb/s HDTV 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 test signals. The 7751TG2-HD is ideal for checking signal path integrity, or to determine system performance over varying cable lengths. The 7751TG2-HD generates test signals in a wide variety of HDTV video formats.
  • Page 8: Figure 1-1: 7751Tg2-Hd Block Diagram

    From this point forward, the 7751TG2-HD and the 7751TG2-CF-HD modules will be referred to as the “7751TG2-HD”, unless the feature in question is applicable only to one of the modules, in which case the specific model number will be referenced.
