Studio Technologies Model 5150 Video Generator Module

Video Generator Module The Model 5150 Video Generator Module is a unique device suited for a variety of custom broadcast, post-production, industrial, and corporate multimedia installations. As a member of the 5100-Series of modules, the Model 5150's compact size belies its powerful video feature set. Advanced circuitry within the Model 5150 supports the generation of a broadcast-standard high-definition SDI signal. And rather than reproducing a fixed test pattern, the Model 5150 has the capability to store and output two custom video images. The images, one for "720" and one for "1080," are based on bitmap (.bmp) files that can be created using a personal computer's graphics program. For convenience, the .bmp files are loaded into the module's non-volatile memory via a standard USB flash drive. The appropriate "720" or "1080" image is automatically connected to the SDI output whenever an SDI input signal is not present. This ensures that an SDI output signal is always sent to equipmen
