SPECIAL PURPOSE

HANDHELD BATTERY POWERED VIDEO

AND AUDIO TEST GENERATORS

The Extron VTG 300 and VTG 300R are intuitive, broadcast quality video and

audio test generators that feature 34 video scan rates, 13 video test patterns, and

six audio test signals for setting up and fine tuning A/V signal reproduction in a

variety of applications. Housed in a compact, rugged enclosure with a protective

rubber boot, both models are ideal for portable field use and integrated systems.
