The next generation VariTime sync generator shares the same potential feature set as earlier VariTime™ sync generators. Additionally it supports 19 HD formats of tri-level sync and SDI signals in HD with 1,485 Mbit and in SD with 270 Mbit.

The PT5300 HD-SD VariTime Sync Generator is specially designed to fit into this new environment with all signals needed for synchronization, fault finding and checking of the entire video chain. The generator conforms to the relevant ITU, SMPTE, EBU and AES standards.

PT5300 Base Units
Two base units are available for the PT5300 series:

• The PT5300HD is a combined HD and SD sync generator providing both tri-level as well as NTSC and PAL black burst signals.
• The PT5300SD generates SD sync signals in PAL and NTSC, but may be extended to HD by adding the PT8611 quad tri-level sync board.

In master sync applications both base units may be controlled by the internal, high precision internal XTAL oscillator, or by a 10 MHz signal coming from a GPS receiver. In slave applications PT5300 can be genlocked to PAL and NTSC video or black burst signals.

All HD and SD outputs are individually timeable for synchronization of sophisticated video installations.

Flexibility - Modular and Multistandard
Several generators can be added to the base unit making multiple HD and SD serial digital outputs available and also analogue PAL or NTSC at the same time. The configuration may also include several tri-level or additional black burst outputs. This makes the generator perfect for use in a mixed SD and HD environment. The modular approach enables multi-format configuration:

• 19 HD formats for tri-level sync outputs.
• HD-SDI outputs selectable for HD formats in 720p, 1080i, and 1080p formats
• SD-SDI, 625-lines and 525-lines, and analogue composite PAL and NTSC.

AES3 Audio Generators, a Digital Genlock input and a Time Clock input can also be added all in the same instrument.

Tri-Level Sync Generator
The generator has 4 separately controllable tri-level outputs. For each output any of 19 HD formats can be independently selected. For several HD formats gen-locking to the frame rates of SD 525-line and 625-line systems will automatically take place. In this way frame synchronization is ensured between SD and HD. Each of the 4 tri-level outputs can be individually delayed or advanced with 6.7 ns resolution in phase to each other and the mainframe system sync or genlock input.

HD-SD Test Signal Generator
On any of its 4 independent HD and SD serial outputs the generator can supply test signals in 1080p, 1080i, 720p, and SD formats. The test signals include several color bar signals, color black, SDI checkfield, monitor alignment signals, and test pattern for “lip-sync” check.
