Description

Artel’s DLT710 Digital Video Generator and Tester is an innovative, DigiLink based solution for simple, automatic link verification of serial digital video formats. Functioning as both a signal generator and test monitor for 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, SD-SDI, DVB-ASI, and ATSC, the DLT710 is ideal for automatic verification of single or multi-format video links.

A universal digital video link test and verification module, the DLT710 provides complete, one-touch “go-no-go” performance testing for all common video rates and formats. Its unique design allows for one or more formats to be selected simultaneously enabling automatic verification of multi-format video links.

As a test signal generator, the DLT710 video generator outputs a continuous video signal of a single selected format or a timed sequence through each selected format. When configured as a monitor for a single format it will continuously monitor live digital video and indicate rate and physical layer signal quality. With more than one format selected, the module automatically verifies each rate has been received. With this unique multi-purpose module, verification of a multi-service video link can be performed in less than five minutes. The DLT710 is an ideal solution for link verification of digital video circuits.
