Main Features
This chapter describes the
Fluke 54200 TV Signal Generator
with all options built in.
Depending on the ordered instrument different features may not be implemented.
This TV Signal Generator matches any dedicated set of requirements, whether it is in R&D,
manufacturing, quality assurance, installation, service, and training.
The generator covers nearly all world-wide standards including PAL, NTSC, and
SECAM with their subsystems as well as sound standards and data transmission
standards.
The Fluke 54200
with its menu-driven control makes it easy for you to work with the
instrument and allows a large choice and configuration of the provided test signals. The
instrument offers the complete RF range from 32 MHz to 900 MHz, so covering the IF-,
VHF I-, VHF III-, S-, Hyper- and UHF-Band.
The test patterns are selected using the PATTERN keypad or additional soft keys. Some test
patterns are offered in different versions or for different TV standards, for example, the Color
Bar, PLUGE, DEM (Demodulator) or VCR test. Some patterns are offered with selectable
‘white’ or primary color signal levels. Up to fourfold test pattern combinations are selectable.
All test patterns are offered in the 16:9 and 4:3 picture format.
Up to 99 complete instrument settings can be stored and recalled for fast and convenient
setup. A step function allows to move swiftly through the sequence of stored information.
Furthermore, you have the advantage to recall TV system depending instrument settings for
20 different countries including sound systems, color standard, residual carrier, group delay
correction, and Teletext.
An
Insertion-Reference Signal
(IRS) is generated for PAL 625 line systems in the field-
blanking interval in the TV line 17. The IRS is according to CCIR Rec. 473-5 and serves to
detect and correct distortion in TV signals.
The composite video signal of nominal 1 V (pp) at the VIDEO OUTPUT can be set from 0 to
1.5 V.
The level of the chrominance signal is selectable from 0% to 150%.
The maximum RF output signal of 10 mV or 100 mV can be attenuated by more than 60 or
80 dB.
On the rear panel the instrument offers different video outputs with
RGB, YCrCb,
and
Y/C signals
.
For synchronization purpose, three outputs are available: Composite, Line, and Field Sync.
The instrument offers the following sound systems:
•
Mono sound
•
Analog stereo sound
•
NICAM sound
•
BTSC/MTS sound
