New 3G and HD Test Signal Generator for IBC from Ensemble Designs
"As facilities add 3Gb/s to their repertoire, reference, distribution and monitoring solutions are really needed for broadcast and post," said Cindy Zuelsdorf, Marketing Czar at Ensemble Designs. "Broadcasters are looking at handling Level A 1080p signals and post are looking at Level B 4:4:4 on one cable. We want to provide the pieces of equipment needed to easily integrate 3G into those plants."
The new TSG/SPG is part of the BrightEye series and is a mere 143 mm x 40 mm x 140 mm. BrightEye 57's outputs are programmable and offer many signal choices including: Tri-level sync, HD SDI, SD SDI, 3G, composite, AES and LTC. This new TSG/SPG offers a reference solution for broadcast and post facilities working with 3G signals.
Over 30 selectable test patterns, including bars and pathogenic, are controlled from the front panel or from PC or Mac control software.
The front-accessible secure digital card enables users to load custom test patterns and audio clips into the BrightEye 57. User-created test signals and full colour graphic slates can be customized for every facility and associated with a voice-over audio clip or other related audio.

A 3G video signal can be easily viewed via the HDMI output of this new unit.
