3. Line 2 of the menu confirms the format of the selected video output.
4. Line 3 of the menu displays the channel time – “Running Time”.
5. Line 4 of the menu allows the user to input an offset from the current SPG Time to
appear on the selected video output.
6. < Offset = SPGTime + hh.mm.ss.ff > (where hh.mm.ss.ff are hours. minutes.
seconds. Frames – may have non-zero entries relating to an offset that has already
been entered).
7. Repeat steps 3 – 6 for < SDI 2 & SDIBlack 2 Timecode >.
8. Repeat steps 3 – 6 for < Composite 1 VITC >.
9. Repeat steps 3 – 6 for < Black 1 VITC >.
10. Repeat steps 3 – 6 for < Tri-Sync Black 2-4 VITC >.
11. Repeat steps 3 – 6 for < LTC 1-4 Timecode >.
12. Return to the Top Level menu using the [ Back ] button.
Full details regarding the setting of UTC Time, SPG Time, Summer & Winter DST Events,

Genlock Mode
From the Top Level menu:
1. Select < –Genlock >.
2. Select < Lock Mode >.
3. Select < Internal Lock > from the list.
4. Check that < –Lock Status > confirms the instrument is using the internal reference.
5. Check that < –Ref Status > confirms the instrument has not detected an external
reference.
6. Using a 75Ω BNC cable, connect Colour Black from the TV signal generator to the
CY460 Sync Pulse and Test Pattern Generator REF-LOOP input BNC connector.
Terminate the unused REF–LOOP connector with a 75Ω termination.
7. Check that < –Lock Status > confirms the instrument is locked. If a valid signal has
been connected, < –Lock Status > will usually sequence through the states:
Internal Lock
Locking
Locked
8. Check that < –Ref Status > confirms the instrument has detected an external
reference by indicating the format of the signal you have connected to the REF–
LOOP input.
9. Select < Lock Mode >.
10. Select < Genlock 1 > from the list.
11. Check that < –Lock Status > confirms the instrument is locked to the external
reference.
12. Once you have selected < Genlock 1 > the SPG will genlock the video outputs to the
external reference if it is a valid signal. This can be confirmed on an oscilloscope or a
vectorscope.
13. Disconnect the external reference from the REF–LOOP connector
14. < –Lock Status > should now indicate Internal Lock, and < –Ref Status > should
now indicate No signal.
15. Return to the Top Level menu using the [ Back ] button.
