Page 17: Preface
Product description The SPG700 is a precision multiformat video signal generator, suitable for master synchronization and reference applications. It provides multiple video reference signals, such as black burst, HD tri-level sync and serial digital test patterns, and provides time reference signals such as time code.
Page 18 Preface Test signal outputs The SPG700 can be optionally conﬁgured with a variety of test signal outputs. Option SDI adds two fully independent serial digital video generator channels of two outputs each. Each channel can be conﬁgured to any standard SD/HD/3G-SDI format and frame rate.
Page 19: Methods Of Operation
Video equipment veriﬁcation, facility link testing, and display calibration Methods of operation This instrument can be operated using either the front panel or the SPG700 Web Interface. It is recommended that you use the SPG Web Interface to operate the instrument since it is easier to use and more intuitive.

Page 21: System Timing
System timing Frame reset signals The SPG700 uses the three frame reset signals described below to output different video formats simultaneously. FRAME RESET 1 This frame reset signal runs at 2.997 Hz and supports the 1/1.001 system signal, and is used by the following video formats. These signals are synchronized with each other.

Page 31: Snmp Remote Control
SNMP remote control When the SPG700 is connected to an Ethernet network, you can conﬁgure the instrument to send SNMP traps to an NMS (Network Management Station) when certain errors are detected. If you intend to use SNMP commands to control the instrument, you must conﬁgure SNMP parameters.
Page 32: Download The Mib
You can download the SPG8000 MIB ﬁle from the SNMP Settings submenu under the System menu. (See page 114, SNMP Settings submenu.) The SPG8000, SPG8000A, and SPG700 share the same MIB ﬁle. Some of the commands in the ﬁle will apply to features and functions available only on the SPG8000 and SPG8000A.

USB drive. The restore operation expects to copy ﬁles from this same directory. All of the copy operations will create new directories/ﬁles on either the SPG700 or the USB drive as needed. If a ﬁle with the same name exists in the destination location, it will be overwritten.
Page 34: Memory Requirements
When all of the user data is copied, every user ﬁle except for the FPGA conﬁguration ﬁles will be copied. This function is useful in that all user-created ﬁles can be saved, restored, or copied to other SPG700 instruments. User ﬁles are deﬁned as any ﬁle that exists in the /app/F0 directory on the instrument.
Page 35: Backup/Restore Procedure
