Description

The CY440 is the ultimate small sync, test pattern & time reference generator designed to satisfy the needs of broadcast serial digital (Standard, High Definition & 3G), post- production, Studio, OB and other operational environments. It provides all the reference (Colour Black, Tri-Level Sync), timing and test signals, including LTC and VITC, together with analogue audio, AES audio & Wordclock, needed to satisfy any application in PAL, NTSC, SD SDI, HD SDI and 3G SDI installations.
The unit is supplied with dual “hot swap” external redundant power supplies for maximum security.
The CY440 is designed for use either as a Master or, when externally locked, as a Follower SPG. Where it is critical to have a backup SPG, the CY445A auto changeover unit complements the CY440. This can be user configured to monitor and changeover analogue video, digital video, timecode and AES/EBU digital audio signals.
