Introduction: Versatile, Accurate, Easy-to-Use
The AccuPel DGA-6000 Ultra-HD Video Generator / Analyzer is a professional test equipment device
exclusively for commercial or industrial calibration, testing, and design of HDMI® video displays, sources
and processors. It is not designed or intended for testing computer graphics formats or computer monitors,
or to be embedded in consumer video systems.
Two Independent Test Equipment Devices in a Single Product
The DGA-6000 is a 4K Ultra-HD Video Generator and a 4K Ultra-HD Video Analyzer, and both functions are
HDR and Rec. 2020 compatible. The Generator and Analyzer can be used independently to test video
sources and video displays, or together to test or calibrate video processors. The Video Generator can be
operated from the DGA-6000 front panel, the AccuPel DGA-6 IR Remote Control (included), or the USB
interface that is shared with the Video Analyzer. The Video Analyzer human interface utilizes InfoPanes
(Information Panes) that overlay the Analyzer’s incoming video, which is then displayed on the Analyzer’s
monitor. Analyzer functions are primarily controlled from the DGA-6 Remote Control.
DGA-6000 Ultra and Pro Engineering Option
The DGA-6000 Ultra provides UHD/HD/SD video pattern generation and per-pixel video content analysis
(RGB/YCbCr pixel values with a unique Magnified Pixel Viewport). The Pro Engineering option adds 70
UHD/HD/SD Motion Patterns to the generator that can be used to evaluate displays and video processors,
and additional advanced video analyzer features including live Min/Max/APL metering, Timing
measurements, InfoFrame protocol analysis, and more.
26 Versatile 2D Digital Video Formats with 5 Output Signal Types
The DGA-6000 Ultra generates and analyzes 26 2D digital video formats compliant with CTA-861-F
including 480i/p, 576i/p, 720p50/59.94/60, 1080i50/59.94/60, 1080p23.98/24/25, 1080p29.97/30,
1080p50/59.94/60, 2160p23.98/24/25, 2160p29.97/30, and 2160p50/59.94/60.
All formats except 2160p50/59.94/60 are available as YCbCr 4:4:4, YCbCr 4:2:2, RGB-Video, and RGB-PC
output signals. The 2160p50/59.94/60 formats are available for YCbCr 4:2:0 output.
33 Additional 3D Digital Video Generator Formats
The DGA-6000 generates 33 additional 3D signal formats. Each 3D signal format is a combination of an
industry-standard 3D structure (Frame Packing, Side-by-Side (Half), or Top-and-Bottom) and a specific
video format (e.g. 1080p24). All 3D formats that industry-conforming 3D display devices are required to
accept are included, plus additional 3D formats used for Blu-ray Disc playback and for cable and satellite
broadcast distribution.
