About VGM
Video Generator Manager (VGM) is a Windows-based application for creating and editing formats and
test sequences. As many as 132 formats and one test sequence can be stored in the generator.
VGM was originally created for use with Quantum Data 80x video generators. The 700A-Series genera-
tors support only some VGM features. For information about using VGM, see the VGM help file.
