Signal & Sync Pulse Generators

Sync pulse generation to ensure a stable facility timing source.

Tektronix video Sync pulse generators provide facility reference signals and ensure a stable facility timing source. Tektronix signal generators provide test signals for equipment verification and calibration applications, and support a wide variety of analog and digital formats to facilitate your technology transition.

Support for 3 Gb/s SDI and Dual Link SDI formats helps deployment of the latest emerging video technologies. Stay Genlock™ provides a unique, robust genlock mode that ensures stable signal synchronization for digital and traditional broadcast facilities. GPS Synchronization and Timecode Module with an integrated GPS receiver provide long-term reference clock stability. Time-of-day and program time timecode functions for broadcast and post production applications.

Features

Benefits

Modular form factorGreater flexibility in creating customer-specific system configurations, and for upgrading existing systems with new modules as they become available
Stay Genlock™ technologyMaintains the reference clock frequency and phase when the genlock input is removed, reducing the possibility of synchronization shock
GPS-based synchronizationEliminates reference clock drift by continuously aligning to the received timing signal from the GPS satellite constellation
Support for a wide variety of analog and digital video formatsEnables transition to SD and HD SDI environments while maintaining analog reference and test signal generation capabilities
Integration of multiple systems into one platformEliminates the need for separate systems for video sync pulse generation, timecode generation, GPS receiver, and NTP server
