VIT-700G VITS Inserter TSG-700 Test Signal Generator
The VIT-700G VITS (Vertical Interval Test Signal Inserter) gives
you the cost-effective capability to insert reference signals in all
phases of video production and routing. The VIT-700G provides
insertion test signals for evaluating video quality in operational
applications. VITS sets include FCC, NTC7 and the Philips
Ghost Reference (GCR) signal for both transmission and routing.
With the VIT-700G, you can fully utilize the AVM-510 Series’
automated capability to insert vertical test signals to video during
production and routing. Also available is the VIT-701 ITS Inserter
for PAL Insertion Test Signals.
The TSG-700 is a genlockable Test Signal Generator for studio
or out-of-service equipment testing. With its genlock capability,
the TSG-700 can serve as the main test generator for teleproduc-
tion studios, broadcast stations, and cable facilities. Its unique
complement of 12 signals was selected for general studio applica-
tions. A Stereo Audio Tone output completes the package. For
PAL applications, the model TSG-701 is available and the TSG-
705 offers a solution for both NTSC and PAL on a single Test
Signal Generator.
VIT-700G/TSG-700
VITS Inserters and Test Signal Generators for AVM-510 Series
The Magni Generator Series provide a stable and accu-
rate reference signal source for all video applications.
These Vertical Interval Test Signal Inserters and Test
Signal Generators are the perfect companion to the
AVM-510 series to perform automated Measurement,
Waveform and Vector monitoring functions.
■ “Event Manager” lets you automatically poll the monitors at regu-
lar intervals, and receive video signal status (in ASCII text form) at
your PC. Signal status can then be logged to hard disk or a printer.
■ Waveform, Vector and Auto-Measure displays can be received and
viewed on a VGA monitor, as well. The displays can be similarly
stored on hard disk or printed out.
■ For automated monitoring, Logbook II can be set to detect errors
in key video parameters at specified sampling times. The samplings
can occur as frequently as once a minute to a maximum of four
hours. If an out-of-limit condition is detected, an audible alarm
can sound on the computer to alert you.
■ For unattended monitoring, the Video Parameter Data can be
logged to hard disk or a printer. This parameter logging can occur
at each specified sampling time, or can be set to occur only when
an error is detected at one of the specified sampling times. Time
and date information is also included with each log, providing
complete documentation of signal performance.
■ For monitoring at remote points, such as unmanned transmitters,
cable head ends and distribution nodes, Logbook II lets you con-
nect the AVM-510 Series to your computer through a modem and
view the Waveform and Vector displays on your monitor. Up to 32
different channels can be polled sequentially, and any out-of-limit
conditions can be set for alarm, printing or stored to a PC file.
Remote Control Software for AVM-510 Series
Magni’s Logbook II is a Windows 95/NT package (included with the AVM-510T)
that links your PC to the WVM-510 Series via serial port or modem. With full control
of all front panel functions and easy viewing of VITS, Waveform/Vector displays and
Measurement screens, Logbook II allows full, unattended signal monitoring for a vari-
ety of applications. A programmable timer and Event Manager add even more power-
ful capabilities to unattended video signal monitoring, automated test sequences and
RS-232 control of supportive equipment, including a Switcher, Test Signal Generator
or VITS Inserter.
Log video signal performance to hard disk or printer, save Waveforms or Vector dis-
plays as graphic files, or output to a printer. Perform remote monitoring at preset inter-
vals to detect and report errors via RS-232 or modem, and sound an alarm on the PC
whenever an error is detected. The ideal solution for proof of performance archiving in
applications that include unattended multi-site and multi-channel monitoring.
