Analogue Video Generator
The video generator produces a test image for
checking cameras, cable, transmission and video
equipment for faults. You can also use it when setting
up monitors to ensure true colour reproduction.
You have the option of three test images; a PM5544
test pattern, an EBU colour bar and an EIA 1956 test
pattern. Each image can be generated in both PAL and
NTSC video formats.
The input video signal is displayed on the right hand
side of the screen. You can see the format, resolution
and frame rate as well as the image itself.
Fault Finding
If a camera connected to a DVR doesn't produce an
image it can be tricky to determine if the camera or the
cable is the problem. By connecting the test monitor's
output to the same cable and then seeing if an image
is displayed it's easy to see where the fault lies.
