An ideal choice as the master sync and test-signal generator for production, post production, component and systems maintenance and the engineering lab, the Model 411 offers the stability and precision of digitally synthesized analog signals. A 10 bit D/A provides excellent accuracy for all test signals while an 8 bit D/A is used for sync blanking and related signals. Test signals selected at the front panel include: SMPTE and full-field color bars; split field bars with reversed bars in lower half; window; pulse-bar (2T, modulated 12.5T and bar); dot/crosshatch; red and blue rasters; white rasters at 100 and 50 IRE; 100 and 50 IRE multiburst; matrix test pattern that includes crosshatch, pulse bar, SMPTE bars and multiburst; 10 step staircase and ramp with modulation ON/OFF for each; and a 10 and 90 APL signal with bounce ON/OFF control. The unit features digital genlock with front panel fast and slow advance and delay fingertip control. MODE LEDs show sync generator status in terms of internal reference and both burst and sync lock. A dedicated SMPTE color bar output featuring a 16 digit alphanumeric source identifier provides a convenient color bar/source ID available at all times. Character selection is easily set up at front panel fingertip controls. Included are audio tones at 400 or 1000 Hz (internally switchable) at 0 dBm (internally adjustable from -3 to +6 dBm), balanced output at XLR connector. A master sync generator that offers long-term dependability, accuracy and stability, with all the test signals that an NTSC environment is likely to need, the 411 stands out in overall value and yet uses up only one unit (1 3/4") of vertical rack space.
