TSG 601 Serial Component Generator SDA 601 Serial Digital Analyzer and indicating the presence and status of SMPTE RP165 and other ancillary (ANC) data signals. The results may be displayed on the built-in LCD screen, on a picture monitor, or transferred directly to a printer or PC for further analysis. The SDA 601 may be operated in a watch mode, reporting errors as they occur. The SDA 601 also provides a suite of individual checks, including strength of the incoming data signal, data and video format type, and position and validity of data timing signals. Both the TSG 601 and SDA 601 comply with industry standards for serial component television data transmission. They may be used as a set for data path testing or individually to check perfor- mance and compliance of digital source and receiving equipment.
