About the VTG 300/300R
The Extron VTG 300 and the VTG 300R are portable, hand-held video and audio test
generators. The VTG 300R features an integrated battery pack and charger, otherwise both
models offer the same functions and features. “VTG” and “video test generator” refer to
both the VTG 300 and the VTG 300R and are 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.
