The Cobalt® BBG-1060-TG2-REF1 3G/HD/SD-SDI Standalone Dual Test Signal Generator with Moving Box Active Signal Indication and Bi-Level/Tri-Level Sync Out offers an easy to use, economical solution to providing comprehensive test signal packages to ensure validity of downstream baseband SDI systems. Two independent generator blocks can be set to offer dual test packages which can be simultaneously outputed.
The BBG-1060-TG2-REF1 also provides AES and analog audio test tones (both using 24-bit data). A moving-box insertion can be enabled to serve as a dynamic raster confidence check. The BBG-1060-TG2-REF1 can use an external reference to provide an output that’s synchronous with house ref, or use its internal ref timing to generate its own ref. An analog video output offers SD black burst or HD tri-level reference output.
The SCTE 104 insertion function provides generation and insertion of SCTE 104 messages into baseband SDI. Message send can be triggered from automation GPI or other event action modes. The function can also execute actions based on SCTE 104 messages received by the BBG-1060, as well as send triggered SCTE 104 packets to other downstream systems.
Preset save/load allows saving custom settings while allowing one-button revert to factory settings. Layered presets allow invoking changes related only to a specific area of concern while not changing any other processing settings or aspects. The BBG-1060-TG2-REF1 can be remote-controlled using DashBoard™. The compact standalone form factor allows desktop usage, as well as the 1/3-rack size of the BBG-1060-TG2-REF1 allowing 3 units to be installed in a 1RU space (an optional mounting tray is available that provides secure mounting of the units to a standard 19” frame).
