Model 7400 HD/SD and Model 9400 3G/HD/SD Sync Pulse Generator and Test Signal Generator

Post Production

Both Model 7400 and Model 9400 can output multiple formats of Tri-Level Sync at the same time,

fitting the requirements of busy post production houses. At the same time, the 7400 or 9400 will

output HD-SDI test signals (1.5 Gb/s for the 7400, and 3 Gb/s and 1.5 Gb/s for the 9400), SD SDI and

composite test signals, and color black reference. All of these video outputs are derived from the same

time base and can be timed with respect to each other. Models 7400 and 9400 can simultaneously

deliver both 525 (NTSC) and 625 (PAL) based signals.

Models 7400 and 9400 provide extensive support for analog and digital audio. Because all of the video

outputs can be locked to a common time base, the AES digital audio outputs are always synchronous

with all of the video outputs - regardless of format. Multiple tone generators make it easy to identify

multi-channel content.

Multiple time code generators, another feature of the 7400 and 9400, work very well for post. Time

code is delivered as LTC (both 75 Ohm BNC and 110 Ohm Balanced), VITC, and DVITC. One generator

can be configured to produce 525/59.94 drop frame time code while the other generator is making

1080sF/23.98.
