BG-3 & BG-7 Test Pattern Generator with Field Programmable ID Option
 
 
Congratulations on your purchase of the Burst Electronics model BG-3 or BG-7 Test Pattern 
Generator with Field Programmable ID Option. The BG-3 is a single output device that allows 
an end user to select between some of the most common test patterns for calibration of a 
television studio’s broadcast equipment. The BG-7 has a single selectable test pattern output, 
as well as, six (6) synchronous black burst outputs. Both of these products have the ability to 
accept a full color bitmap (24-bit BMP) image that can be used as a station identifier. Unless 
otherwise specified, all functions are universal to both devices.
