Rohde and Schwarz SGPF TV Television PAL Generator 2016.4049.03

The SGPF digitally generates a PAL composite colour video signal (CCVS) coded over the eight-field sequence with a resolution of 12 bits. Two LSI gate arrays convert the Y, CB and CR components into the digital CCVS which features an accurately defined colour-subcarrier/sync-pulse (SC/H) phase. For identification of the beginning of the eight-field sequence, the PAL identification pulse can be inserted into line 7 of the first field.

With the genlock option fitted, SGPF offers the possibility of inserting test signals into a program signal. If no program signal is available, the selected video test pattern is through-connected to the program output.

The test signals numbering more than 30 comprise the following groups:

•Test pattern to German FuBK standard or general-purpose test pattern with optional source identification, crosshatch pattern and VTR signal

•CCIR insertion test signals

•Squarewave signals (50 Hz, 15 kHz, 250 kHz)

•Sawtooth signals

•Multipulse, H sweep, sin x/x and coring signals

•Black burst, vertical staircase, white field and bounce signals

Powers up ok.  Front panel buttons work. TV and cables not included. In the test, my TV was set to stretch mode which stretches the picture to fit all the way horizontally across the screen.  My TV can be set for PAL-N but I do not think this setting is totally compatible with the SGPF.

No further testing performed.

May need calibration.

Power cord not included.

Has scuffs, scrapes, stickers and sticker residue.

May ship via Fedex.
