    The analogue outputs can be switched between input video and an internal test pattern under local or remote (GPI) control. DDAA132 accepts either 625 or 525 line input, with automatic detection. To produce the internal Luma/Chroma test pattern, the DDAA132 requires a valid SDI input signal from which to extract clocking information.
