Gefen EXT-GEFENTV-SIGGEN HDMI Signal Generator

Evaluate, Calibrate and Test Digital Video Equipment The GefenTV Signal Generator is a hand-portable, cost-effective testing tool that allows installers to locate and eliminate problems with HDTV Equipment and Displays, as well as calibrate equipment, in a quick yet sophisticated manner on-the-spot. Besides video patterns, the generator also supports 3 types of audio testing signal, one built-in sine wave, one external analog audio, and one external digital audio input through TOSlink. The GefenTV Signal Generator also works with Standard Definition or High Definition video resolutions. Control of the GefenTV Signal Generator is easy and intuitive. You can use the on-panel buttons or download the Windows software application to perform advanced control, such as timing/pattern programming and the reading and writing of EDID (display identification data). Save Time and Money by Finding Trouble Spots in Minutes The GefenTV Signal Generator isn''t just for finding troubles with specific video equipment. The Generator provides real-time testing of entire A/V configurations, eliminating snafus in minutes, saving costly labor. Ad-Hoc testing of SD and HD TV configurations often involves exchanging A/V components and/or ferrying equipment between locations. With the TV Signal Generator, these time-consuming practices can be avoided. Fully HDCP Compliant This device is HDCP (high bandwidth digital content protection) compliant, making it compatible with all HDTV content and displays. HDCP is a standard data encryption scheme encoded into the DVI signal to prevent videos from being copied. HDCP was adopted in 2004 by the entertainment industry. If an HDCP-encoded video source is connected to a HDTV display without the proper HDCP decoding mechanism, the picture is relegated to snow or a very low (480P) resolution. To avoid this situation the video source, the display and any device in between must be equipped with HDCP software key decoding devices. The GefenTV Signal Generator includes an HDCP verification test (Pattern #39) which is useful for insuring that all devices in the video path are correctly passing the HDCP protocol. How it works Simply connect your Standard Definition or High Definition television source (with HDMI video adapter if DVI) to the HDMI input port on the GefenTV Signal Generator. Connect the output port of the GefenTV Signal Generator to your display. Power up the GefenTV Signal Generator. Activate the On-Screen Display (OSD) Menu, select the test that you would like to perform, and you''re done.
