About the VTG 300/300R
The Extron VTG 300/300R is a portable, hand-held video and
audio test generator. The VTG 300R features an integrated
battery pack and charger, otherwise both models offer the same
functions and features. Both models are herein referred to as
the “VTG” throughout this manual. Also, “VTG” and “video
test generator” will be used interchangeably.
The VTG will generate video signals for computer, standard
resolution video, HDTV, and 16:9 high resolution output rates.
The composite video format conforms to the SMPTE 170M
video standard. There are also six test pattern categories
available for optimizing the display output: crosshatch,
H pattern, color bars, grayscale, alternating pixels/multiburst,
and white field.
For audio signals, the VTG offers basic audio test signals
including sine and square waves, pink noise, white noise,
polarity testing, and a frequency sweep from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
Video output connectors include BNC, 4-pin mini DIN, and
15-pin HD connectors. Audio output is provided through RCA,
3-pin XLR, and 3.5 mm phone jack connectors.
The VTG 300 is powered by the included external power supply
or four AA-type batteries (not included). The VTG 300R is
powered by both the included external power supply and the
built-in rechargeable batteries.
