Key Integration and Testing Equipment
Applications
Scenario:
- An AV installer is deploying a 4K digital signage system and needs to ensure all HDMI cabling and displays are functioning before the system goes live.
Solutions:
- BG-AVTPG-KIT for generating 4K test patterns.
- BG-AVTPG-MINI for portable HDMI 2.0 verification.
- BG-SDITPG-G2 for SDI signal path checks.
Pictured below is a setup using the BG-AVTPG-KIT. The technician connects the unit to various displays, verifying proper video reception, EDID handshake, and HDR compatibility during the installation process.
Scenario:
- A broadcast engineer needs to confirm signal integrity between SDI cameras and video switchers ahead of a live event.
Solutions:
- BG-SDITPG-G2 to simulate SDI video signals up to 12G.
- Compatible with formats from SD to 4K@60Hz.
- On-device screen and controls for field adjustments.
This diagram demonstrates how the BG-SDITPG-G2 can be integrated into a broadcast workflow to verify that video production switchers, SDI cables, and displays are operating correctly and can receive the desired SDI video formats - prior to finalizing the setup with cameras and other sources.
Scenario:
- A tech team is installing 8K-capable displays in a high-end gaming lounge and needs to validate 8K@60Hz performance across sources and screens.
Solutions:
- BG-AVTPG-8K or BG-AVTPG-MINI-G2 for HDMI 2.1 test signal generation.
- HDR pattern testing and EDID verification.
- Touch panel or USB control with portable battery operation.
Pictured below is a high-resolution testing environment using BG-AVTPG-8K. Installers validate full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 signal chains, ensuring that the signal flows correctly from the source through any splitters or extenders. They check the image quality in both 8K and high frame rate 4K modes. The BG-AVTPG-8K is used to test the signal when the gaming console is directly connected, while the BG-AVTPG-MINI-G2 outputs an 8K or 4K at 120Hz to the display to confirm compatibility before completing the setup.
