INTRODUCTION
The AV-GM0973-S1 3G/HD/SD-SDI Pattern Generator is an advanced SDI pattern generator with
multi-format (3G/HD/SD) and multi-pattern support. Besides still and moving video test patterns,
other features such as audio (SMPTE-291M) are also provided. AV-GM0973-S1 can support up to 8
channel AES compliant audio with 48KHz sample rate. Another attractive feature of AV-GM0973-S1
comes from bypassing HDMI input and allows users with more testing patterns for connected
display or treats AV-GM0973-S1 as an advanced HDMI to SDI converter with 3G capability. With
portable size, AV-GM0973-S1 is equipped four buttons and LCM screen to ease the control. This
device provides a cost effective way to calibrate and test SDI enable video devices and displays.
