Courtyard CY490A SPG and Test Pattern Generator with HD options

PAL and NTSC format

Model is CY490A 

Includes SDI, HD and pulse option.

The CY490A is the ultimate sync and test pattern generator designed to satisfy all needs of broadcast serial digital (Standard and High Definition) and mixed digital/analogue, post-production, OB and other operational environments. It provides all the timing and test signals, including LTC and VITC, needed to satisfy any application in PAL, NTSC, HD and mixed standard installations. Future Proof If your current requirements are not extensive, it can be supplied as a basic analogue only device. Then, as your needs change with time, it can be upgraded with options, to include configurable multistandard references, standard and high definition test patterns and black, AES tone, wordclock, embedded tone and more. The CY490 is designed for use either as a master or, when genlocked, as a slave SPG. Where it is critical to have a backup SPG, the CY435 auto changeover unit complements the CY490. This can be user configured to monitor and changeover analogue video, digital video, timecode and AES/EBU digital audio signals.
