Horita TSG-50 Test Signal and VDA Package

This unit was purchased in 2003 and recently removed from a small corporate suite.   It is in very good condition and the package comes complete with the following:

• Horita 13 Pattern generator with 30/60 Second Timer for Bars and Tone to Black and silence
• 2 Configurable VDAs:  Each can be set up as either 1x8, 1x4 + 1x3, 1x5 + 1x2, or 3 1x2s.
• Tone can be set to 400 Hz instead of the universally annoying 1 KHz. 

This is a more compact version of the current model TSG-50, and has all of the same specifications and features.   If you need reliable, stable and flexible house sync with a full battery of test signals, this is the choice for you.

The Horita TSG-50 alone is currently retailing for $539!   Steal this entire package for $339!

More from HORITA on the TSG-50 Sync Generator with two VDAs.

The TSG-50 generates 13 precision digitally synthesized video test signals/patterns. Wide range of signals are ideal for setting up, aligning, and evaluating the performance of various video equipment found in a typical video editing system, such as video monitors, distribution amplifiers, VCRs, multi-media systems, switchers, effects generators, TBCs, etc. In addition to the video signals, the TSG-50 also generates composite sync and, with a video DA such as the HORITA VDA-50, becomes a high quality, multiple output, house sync generator.

• Generates the following 13 video test signals:    
  -Blackburst with 7.5 IRE setup level
  -Full field EIA RS-189A color bars
  -Flat white field at 100 IRE level (user selectable in place of full field color bars)
  -SMPTE EG-1-1990 color bars with "pluge" pattern
  -Multiburst of .5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.58, and 4.2 MHz and reference bars
  -5 MHz line frequency sweep with 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 MHz markers
  -NTC-7 composite
  -5-step gray scale
  -Modulated 5-step gray scale
  -Pulse and bar with window and modulated pulse
  -Red field
  -Convergence pattern 14H x 17V, center dot/lines, safe action
  -Monitor setup matrix of convergence, color bars, I/Q with pluge, 5-step gray scale

• Fully RS-170A SC/H phased and always correct. Never requires adjusting.

• Built-in timer can automatically switch video output from video pattern to black and audio tone to silence after 30 to 60 seconds. Makes it easy and convenient to produce tape leaders of color bars and tone followed by black and silence.

• Video signals generated by the TSG-50 are in accordance with industry standard EIA RS-170A video timing specification

• Convenient pattern selection by 12 position front panel rotary switch

• Generates oscilloscope trigger output signal one H line before start of color field 1

• Includes crystal controlled, 1KHz/400Hz, 0dB audio tone output

• Outputs: video, composite sync, 15 Hz ref frame, 1KHz/400Hz, 0dB audio tone (unbalanced)

The RM-50 holds 1-3 units.  The VDA-50 consists of two or three separate high performance video distribution amplifiers with user selectable jumpers on the PCB that allow it to be configured for various multiple or single video DA applications.

VDA-50 Features:

• User configurable for a number of inputs and outputs. Ideal for small desktop video editing systems.
• Desktop version VDA-50 configurable as dual 1x2, 1x3 DA, or as single 1x6. Includes looping video input with switchable 75-ohm terminator.
• Rackmount version RM-50/VDA configurable as a triple 1x2 DA, dual 1x4, 1x3 DA or 1x5, 1x2 DA, or single 1x8 DA. Includes looping video input with switchable 75-ohm terminator.
• Looping input permits multiple VDA units to be easily connected for expansion or to pass the input video signal on to other pieces of equipment.
• Single HORITA RM-50 Rackmount panel can hold up to three VDAs which can be looped together to form a single 1x24 VDA for video duplication purposes.
• Wide bandwidth of over 80 MHz, differential phase .08%.
• Separate Level and EQ screwdriver adjustments provided for each DA section permit amplitude and frequency compensation for driving up to 500 feet of RG-59U coaxial cable.
