The TPG102 is a fully-featured 10 bit serial digital test pattern generator which provides a source of signals designed to test the performance of studio signal paths.

It provides 32 SDI patterns to enable the broadcast engineer to check equipment is recording, playing back or monitoring to specifications.

The test patterns are split into pattern banks so that similar patterns are grouped together for easy retrieval.

	100% Color Bars, EBU Color Bars, 95% Color Bars, Split Bars
	Peak White, Black, Hard Grey, Red, Field 1 Only, Field 2 Only
	Luma Only Ramp, Valid Ramp, Limit Ramp, 10 Bit Blue Ramp, Shallow Ramps, Steps, Modulated Ramp
	Luma Only Multi-frequency Burst, Multi-frequency Burst, Luma Only Frequency Sweep, Frequency Sweep, Bow Tie
	Mixed Selection of Patterns, SDI Test, Pulse and Bar, Edge of Frame Markers, Cross Hatch
	PLUGE, SPLUGE, Co-site, 50Hz Rectangle, Safe Area
	Crystal Vision Logo

Ten user memories can be programmed for quick remote recall of specific patterns.

Patterns can be forced to be luminance or chrominance only.

Moving test patterns are also available and can be created by rotating a strip of the static patterns.

These are useful for signal paths that contain synchronisers or other modules incorporating a framestore, and also allow the testing of equipment such as D to A converters and monitors.

The output timing is fully adjustable in relation to the analogue reference, with flexible adjustment of both horizontal and vertical picture position. EDH can be turned off if required. The TPG102's wide test pattern choice is especially useful for the broadcaster or larger facility.

The 100mm x 266mm module can be controlled manually from board edge or remotely from active front panel, remote control panel or by using GPI.

The RM23 frame rear module gives two outputs and a Black and Burst loop.
