General Information

The Digi Gen Multigen is a simple to use SMPTE/EBU spec. multiformat video generator for use in control rooms and facilities where racking is available. The unit includes HD SDI, SD SDI and composite video generation with embedded audio and either AES/EBU or analog audio outputs.

16 video test signals are available for each of the outputs in digital this can be 525 or 625 and in analog either NTSC or PAL, including pathological, overlayed circles, moving pattern path activity signal, CRC codes, audio group selection audio line up tones, with or without an ident and a 16 character alpha/numeric ident which is scrollable.
