The AV-GM0993-S1 3G/HD/SD-SDI Pattern Generator with Serial Control 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-GM0993-S1 can support up to 8 channel AES compliant audio with 48KHz sample rate.
Another attractive feature of AV-GM0993-S1 comes from bypassing HDMI input and allows users
with more testing patterns for connected display or treats AV-GM0993-S1 as an advanced HDMI
to SDI converter with 3G capability. With portable size, AV-GM0993-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.
In order to create the accessibility for SDI system integrators, AV-GM0993-S1 is equipped the
serial port thru mini-USB connector and the complete serial command sets are also provided for
reference!
