About: Cobalt Digital BBG-1060-TG2-REF1 Test Signal Generator

Cobalt Digital BBG-1060-TG2-REF1 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), and also provides waveform-based test data over its CVBS video output. 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, line 21 CEA 608 closed-captioning and VITC waveform TC outputs. Audio LTC test sequences are available over embedded, AES, and analog audio as well as via an RS-485 serial port.

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 uses a built-in web server that allows control/monitor over computers or smart devices from anywhere accessible over the web; no special apps or plug-ins are required for remote control (can also 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).

Comprehensive test signal generation for SDI/analog video and baseband discrete audio in an easily integrated standalone unit
Easy to use, intuitive, flexible, and far more economical than typical bench equipment
Fully-independent dual generator blocks offer simultaneous output of user-configured test packages, or instant user selection between generators via output crosspoint
Moving-box/motion insertion enable serves as an easy to use dynamic raster confidence check
DID/SDID authoring allows custom payloads to be written to specific DID/SDID locations as test packets for downstream systems
User ID/trouble slate graphic import allows slate to be inserted as active video
Full suite of output interfaces – SDI, CVBS, AES and analog audio
Convenience RS-485 LTC output works with legacy systems and checks bi-phase LTC/SMPTE 12 correlation in mixed systems
