Extron VTG 300R Audio/Video Test Generator
This broadcast quality video and audio test generator includes an integrated recharchable battery and charger, and operates continuously for about five hours. This rugged, portable reference tool provides accurate video signal reproduction as RGB, component video, S-video, and composite video.
It features 34 video scan rates, including three new rates: 1080p/24sf at 48 Hz for HDTV; 1280 x 768 at 60 Hz; and 1366 x 768 at 60 Hz for 16:9 aspect ratio displays. The 13 video test patterns include new ramp, 80% window, and 20% window patterns. The audio tone generator offers six audio test signals.
