Tektronix TSG601 Overview

The TSG601 Serial Component Generator and the SDA601 Serial Digital Analyzer form a comprehensive test set for serial component television system installation and maintenance. Each convenient, handheld instrument complements the other and the set excels in its capability for stress testing the television system data path. The TSG601 Serial Component Generator provides Serial Digital Interface (SDI) check field test signals that stress receiver clock recovery and phase lock loop circuitry. Data signal launch amplitude may be varied over the SMPTE specification range to check equalizer performance, and a built-in 50 meter cable simulator may be used to quickly check available signal strength margin. The SDA601 Serial Digital Analyzer provides analysis of the incoming digital television signal with the push of a button, quickly identifying data errors and indicating the presence and status of SMPTE RP165 and other ancillary (ANC) data signals. The analysis results may be displayed on the built-in LCD screen, on a picture monitor or transferred directly to a printer or PC for further analysis. In addition to a full complement of system test signals, the TSG601 includes signals to test DAC performance and the accuracy of subsequent encoding into the PAL or NTSC domain. Both the TSG601 and SDA601 comply with industry standards for serial component television data transmission. They may be used as a set for data path testing or individually to check performance and compliance of digital source and receiving equipment.
