Chapter 1 Introduction
PG-HD1X is an advanced SDI pattern generator for
checking the transmission of the coaxial cable laid in a
HD-SDI system and designing to be a useful tool for the
new generation of digital video/monitor products. It supports
multi-format (HD/SD) and multi-pattern up to 8 patterns for
you to test and calibrate a digital video/monitor. Further, it
also can help you to improve the quality of digital
video/monitor with side-by-side comparisons. Through the
friendly interface and smart design, not only you can easy
and quick to use the device but also you can reduce your
test expenditure.

1. Power/Battery Status:
“●”“ ”LED light ÆPower on.
“” “ ”LED Flash ÆThe battery is in low voltage
status.
)Using the 9V battery singly without a 9V transformer, the
power LED status will flash when the voltage of battery go
down to about Low Voltage. (That is indicating the power
of batter will use up.)
2. Power On/Off: Push the Power SW up to power on your
device (The Power LED is light). Push the Power SW
down to power off your device (The Power LED is dark)
3. Resolution Switch: Support you at least 7 kinds of
resolution for choice. Please refer to “HD-SDI A Output
/HD-SDI B Output”
4. Pattern Switch Button: Switch the Pattern Mode that
you want to test. Please refer to “Appendix A: Pattern
Chart.”
)After you press the Pattern Switch Button, the sequence
of the pattern mode is from upper left to upper right then
from bottom left to bottom right.

Side Panels
The PG-HD1X supports SDI interface. The SDI standard
transfers signals are uncompressed and are
self-synchronizing between the source (transmitter) and
destination (receiver). Most errors caused by noise or
interference can be detected, and the lost data recovered
by means of a specialized code called the Hamming code. A
signal in SDI can contain up to four independent digital
audio signals along with the video signal.
HD-SDI A Output /HD-SDI B Output
Use for SDI 1.2M cable (BNC Female to Female).

Chapter 3 Troubleshooting
1. If there is no reaction when using the device, please
ensure the following matters:
a. If it is unable to power onÆthere is a possibility of
fault battery or inferior battery. Please connect it with
the transformer.
b. If it is able to power on but there is no reactionÆ
Lower the resolution or change the resolution and
vertical frequency.
Please ensure the compatibility the mode of the
monitor.
2. What is the Pattern Generator’s function?
a. Use to test and maintain studio equipment, such as
monitor, cabling, and recording equipment.
b. For a TV engineer or technician wants to test and
calibrate a DTV monitor during repair.
c. A home-theater user wants to get the best results out
of the DTV equipment.
d. A studio installer wants to test cables and equipment
so that can get the best effect.
e. For the DTV sets seller to show side-by-side
comparisons of quality.
f. For teacher to train their students about the latest
DTV quality test technologies.
g. To test a new DTV set whether compatibility with the
ATSC standards.
3. When should I have to charge the battery?
We suggest you to charge the battery when the battery
power indicator has become low; it is not appropriate to
charge the battery when the battery is consumed
thoroughly.
4. What is SDI?
Serial Digital Interface (SDI) is a standard for digital
video transmission over coaxial cable. The most
common data speed is 270 megabits per second
(Mbps). However, speeds of up to 540 Mbps are
theoretically possible. Standard 75-ohm cable is used.
This is the same type of coaxial cable used in most
home television (TV) installations.
