AVMatrix PG 4K - 12G-SDI 4K HDMI Signal Generator

 
 
 
 
 
 
The AVMatrix PG4K is a state-of-the-art pattern generator, specifically designed to meet the needs of the most demanding professionals. This compact yet powerful device becomes your indispensable ally for signal verification, cable laying, equipment configuration, and rapid troubleshooting in a wide variety of environments, from broadcast studios and production sets to live events and post-production control rooms.
     

Uncompromising connectivity and versatility

The PG4K stands out for its exceptional versatility in terms of connectivity and video formats:
     

Extensive SDI Support: Future-proof your setup with 12G-SDI compatibility, ideal for 4K UltraHD workflows at 60Hz. Best of all, it supports single, dual, and quad link configurations (SQD/2SI), ensuring seamless integration with your existing and future equipment. In addition, it does not neglect current standards, being fully compatible with 6G-SDI and 3G-SDI (Level A and Level B), ensuring broad compatibility with a wide range of cameras, routers and monitors.
     
High-Quality 4K HDMI2.0 Output: In addition to its robust SDI capabilities, the PG4K features an HDMI 2.0 output that delivers crisp, detailed 4K signals. This allows you to connect the generator directly to monitors, projectors or any HDMI-compatible device for instant visual verification. 
    
16-Channel Embedded Audio: Video testing is not complete without audio. The PG4K is capable of generating up to 16 channels of SDI embedded audio, allowing you to perform comprehensive checks of the audio signal along with the video.
   

Advanced Features for Accurate Diagnostics

Beyond simple pattern generation, the AVMatrix PG4K offers a suite of advanced tools for accurate diagnostics and optimisation:
         

Integrated and Customisable Test Patterns: Includes a library of essential patterns such as colour bars, pathology patterns (ideal for detecting signal and compression issues) and monochromes. But what really sets it apart is the ability to import your own custom patterns via the USB port, giving you unmatched flexibility to adapt to any specific testing or calibration needs.
      
Unique Signal Analysis Tools:

Ring Pattern: A quick visual tool for evaluating screen uniformity and performance.
    
Time Code Generation and Overlay: Essential for synchronisation and control in production environments, allowing you to verify the accuracy of the time code in your signal stream.
    
Frame Counter Overlay: An invaluable feature for detecting frame drops or synchronisation issues, providing a clear visual analysis of the video stream.
   
Motion Test: Generates dynamic patterns to evaluate how video systems handle motion, revealing artefacts or deinterlacing issues.
   

Perfect Synchronisation: With its reference (REF) input, the PG4K can be synchronised with your studio's blackburst or tri-level sync signal, ensuring that its generated signals are perfectly aligned with the rest of your infrastructure, a critical aspect in live and multi-camera productions.
       

Future-Ready: Optional Fibre Optics

With modern fibre optic cabling infrastructures in mind, the AVMatrix PG4K signal generator offers optional support for 12G-SDI fibre optic signals via SFP (transceiver module not included). This allows you to expand the generator's capabilities to work over long distances or in environments where fibre is the primary transmission medium.
      
The AVMatrix PG4K is not just a pattern generator; it is a smart investment in the efficiency and quality of your productions. Its combination of extensive SDI and HDMI capabilities, advanced diagnostic tools, and robust design makes it the perfect choice for any video professional looking for maximum confidence in their equipment and signals.
