Page 6: Introduction
This Setup Guide is a systematically structured guideline to assist you with the set-up of your Meinberg product. The IMS-VSG181 is used to provide a reference video or audio signal for studio equipment, with generated sig- nals output through four BNC outputs. These respectively output a bi-level sync (black & burst)/tri-level-sync signal, a linear time code (LTC) signal, a Digital Audio Reference Signal (DARS), and a word clock signal. -
