sync pulse generator
CY490 is the ultimate sync pulse and test pattern generator designed to satisfy all needs of broadcast analogue, serial digital (standard and high definition) and mixed digital/analogue post production, OB and other operational environments. It provides all timing and test signals, including LTC and VITC, needed to satisfy any application in PAL, NTSC, HD or even mixed standard installations. The CY490 is designed for use either as a master, or when genlocked to an external reference, as a slave SPG. Where it is critical to have a backup SPG the CY430D is complemented by the CY435 auto changeover unit which can be user configured to monitor, and if necessary changeover analogue video, digital video and AES/EBU digital audio signals.
