Testing UHD monitors and production chains

PG4K generates defined patterns for checking colour, greyscale, signal paths and display behaviour. HDMI 2.0, SDI and optional optical outputs test modern studio infrastructure from one unit.

Custom patterns, audio and synchronisation

Custom files can be imported over USB alongside the built-in patterns. The generator creates up to 16 channels of embedded audio and can lock to studio timing through its reference input.

Portable operation

The built-in battery provides up to 2.5 hours of operation. For continuous use the unit can run from the supplied adapter and be controlled from a computer over LAN.
