Various easy-to-use devices can be used to test televisions, recorders, set-top boxes, and other video equipment. Equipment that can test various video standards, with various options available for high-precision signals.
Two signals to choose from
Fluke 54100 video signal generator for testing video circuits; The Fluke 54200 TV signal generator also provides audio test signals and high stability RF output, which is very suitable for complete testing of TVs, recorders, and other related equipment. Both signals provide single or multi format (PAL, NTSC, SECAM) television signals, graphic and text functions, and optional signal output.
Covering all applications The Fluke 54000 series generator provides digital synthesized test signals that comply with CCIR, EBU, FCC, ITU, and EIA * analog television standards. Rich in functionality and capable of providing stable, pure, and high-quality signals, it is an ideal choice for testing television receivers, recorders, monitoring systems, and overhead boxes, as well as detecting sub modules or components used in these products.
Product Features Single or multiple standards The Fluke 54000 series TV and video signal generator has three TV standards to choose from: PAL, NTSC, and SECAM. You can choose any combination to form a single, double, or triple standard model, and the corresponding sub standard (system B, D, G, I, K, K1, L, M, N) will be automatically selected.
Expanded graphic and textual testing capabilities In addition to video, the Fluke 54000 series also offers various graphic and text signals: standard graphic and text (TOP, FLOF, VPT), French graphic and text (Anope), widescreen signal (WSS), program delivery control (PDC), video program service (VPS), and closed caption.
Sound selection (* Fluke 54200) In addition to standard mono audio signals, the Fluke542000 also supports analog stereo (BG, A2, and Mk) and digital stereo (Liyin). The BTSC audio channel can test multi-channel television sound (MTS) and second audio program (SAP).
Stable RF output (* Fluke 54200)
The RF output of Fluke542000 covers the entire RF range from 32 to 900MHz. The output frequency can be directly set at a resolution of 50KHz. To make the setting faster and more accurate, amplitude values can be directly input in mV or dB µ V units, and the maximum output can reach 100mV across the entire bandwidth. In some applications, when precise brightness and chromaticity synchronization is required, the Group delay pre correction, or Group delay filter function, can be used for testing work.
