User manual for the Tektronix SPG8000 Master Sync &Clock Reference SPG8000
The user manual for the Tektronix SPG8000 Master Sync &Clock Reference SPG8000 provides
necessary instructions for the proper use of the product Professional Video - Signal Processing & Distribution - Video & Audio Signal Generators.
The Tektronix SPG8000 Master Sync & Clock Reference Generator is a precision multi-format video signal generator suitable for master synchronization and reference applications. It provides multiple video reference signals such as black burst, HD tri-level sync, and serial digital and composite analog test patterns, and it provides time reference signals such as time code and NTP (Network Time Protocol). The base configuration includes 3 sync outputs that can be configured with independent output formats (NTSC/PAL black burst and/or HD tri-level sync) and independently adjustable timing offsets. With the BG option (sold separately), 4 more analog outputs can be added. A high-accuracy, oven-controlled crystal oscillator provides a stable frequency reference for the system, or the pass-through GenLock input can be used to lock to an external video reference or 10 MHz continuous wave signal. The SPG8000’s Stay GenLock feature avoids synchronization shock if the external reference suffers a temporary disturbance by maintaining the frequency and phase of each output signal. When the external reference is restored, Stay GenLock ensures that any accumulated clock drift is removed by slowly adjusting the system clock within standard limits instead of jamming back to the correct phase.
