INTRODUCTION
The 1B-SDI-PTG 3G-HD/SD SDI Pattern Generator is an advanced SDI pattern generator with multi-
format (3G/HD/SD) and multi-pattern support. Besides still and moving video test patterns, other features
such as audio (SMPTE-291M) are also provided. 1B-SDI-PTG can support up to 8 channel AES
compliant audio with 48KHz sample rate. Another attractive feature of 1B-SDI-PTG comes from
bypassing HDMI input and allows users with more testing patterns for connected display or treats 1B-
SDI-PTG as an advanced HDMI to SDI converter with 3G capability. With portable size, 1B-SDI-PTG is
equipped four buttons and LCM screen to ease the control. This device provides a cost effective way to
calibrate and test SDI enable video devices and displays.

EDID LEARNING
1. Turn off 1B-SDI-PTG and set the pin 4 of DIP switch of 1B-SDI-PTG to OFF [ ].
2. Connect the HDTV to the HDMI port on the 1B-SDI-PTG, and then turn on VPG-SDI3.
3. The Lock LED on the 1B-SDI-PTG will dim and light again, which indicates the EDID learning
process is done.
4. Connect 1B-SDI-PTG to the HDMI source through a HDMI cable and enjoy the experience.
NOTICE
1. In HDMI bypass mode, users must be aware of that the jitters coming from HDMI sources, such as
DVD players, may be much higher than typical requirement according to SMPTE request on HD-SDI
signals. This will result in SDI output with high jitters or even no SDI outputs!
2. Due to the high frequency bandwidth and low jitter requirement of 3G-SDI signals, it is strongly
recommended to use just one SDI OUTPUT with one 75 ohm.
3. The features including new timings and patterns may increase without notice after the firmware is
updated! This may affect the menu items, but will keep the same framework for users!
