Maxtron TG-5000B Dual-Format HD-SDI Pattern Generator with Internal Lithium-Ion Battery

The TG-5000B Dual-Format HD-SDI Pattern Generator with Internal Lithium-Ion Battery from Maxtron is a single-pattern test signal generator which supports two video output formats, 1080i 59.94 (UP) and 720p 59.94 (DN). The test pattern is the SMTPE RP-219 HDTV Color Bars, which was specifically chosen to expose system weaknesses and limitations. Overlaid over the test pattern is a traveling wizard that moves in a ping-pong fashion about the screen to help reveal dropped or repeated fields/frames, as well as frozen video. This pattern generator has a toggle switch to turn the unit on and off. The green power LED confirms power to the unit and blinks rapidly when the unit is in the 1080i mode. The TG-5000B has an internal lithium-ion battery which can be charged from the included AC adapter.
