Test Results

Test card was taken from a typical production run. The HD/SD-SDI output from DeckLink SDI was connected to a Tektronix WFM-700 HD-SDI waveform monitor and test signal video files were used. Test results can vary slightly from these results between different models tested due to component tolerances used in production.
