Careful with Terminology

By Bill
Rated 3 out of 5

This unit is advertised as HD/SD/AES sync gen with SD (Not SDI) color bars. Unfortunately I wanted an HD bar gen. All this unit does is produce SD Bars or black. And yes Tri-level (analog) sync. If that is what you need I am sure it works as well as any other AJA product. I just need to be more careful of terminolgy.

Does the AES11 output provide a word clock signal (to sync audio devices with the video)?
Asked by: a
Yes, the GEN10 will provide world clock so long as the video is on a proper bandwidth. It has level sync in the device, so it should work just fine.
