INDICATORS

Meter Channel:
Tells what parameter is displayed on the D'Arsonval meter

Attenuation:
Loudness control attenuation in 0.5 dB steps

Stereo:
TSG is in stereo mode

Mono:
TSG is in mono mode

Sync:
Positive indication that video sync is being received and TSG is locked.

Stereo Rev:
Alarm that one channel of incoming audio is reversed, causing monaural cancellation

Fuse:
Indicates primary AC fuse blown

BTSC board LEDs:
LEDs on BTSC board for setting precise 100% reference level

   
CONTROLS (front panel)

Meter Select:
Positions meter (as indicated by meter channel LEDs) on desired parameter

Input Level:
Sets the level of Left & Right audio into the TSG; if the input board is strapped for matrix input, sets Sum and Difference levels

Mono/Stereo:
Switches the TSG alternately between monaural and stereophonic operation

   
CONTROLS (front panel) AUDIO PROCESSOR

Loudness Step:
Each time pressed, reduces program level 0.5 dB

Loudness Reset:
Smoothly restores program level to normal use after Loudness Step

Gate:
Sets threshold of gain expansion on quiet program material and prevents "pumping"

HFR:
Sets amount of high frequency audio gain reduction applied

Limit:
Sets threshold of broadband peak limiting

   
ACCURACY OF 75 MICROSECOND PREEMPHASIS +/- 0.1 dB
   
STEREO SUBCARRIER SUPPRESSION

Less than +/- 90 Hz deviation of main carrier

Greater than 55 dB below +/- 50 kHz deviation of main carrier

   
FREQUENCY RESPONSE (left, right, main and subchannel)

BTSC (dbx encoded) +/- 0.3 dB 50 Hz to 14 kHz no more than -2.0 dB at 15 kHz

75 microsecond equivalent mode +/- 0.3 dB 50 Hz to 15 kHz

   
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION

At any frequency from 50 Hz to 15 kHz at 25, 50 and 100% modulation; 100% modulation = +/- 25 kHz deviation for L+R; +/- 50 kHz for L-R; Bandwidth = 30 kHz, measured with 75 microsecond deemphasis or BTSC decode.

Main channel (L+R) less than 0.05%

Subchannel (L-R) less than 0.05% (75 microsecond equivalent mode)

Subchannel (L-R) less than 0.3% (BTSC mode) note: 100% modulated BTSC measurement made with dbx clipper disabled.

   
SEPARATION

75 microsecond equivalent mode 50 Hz to 15 kHz: greater than 50 dB.

BTSC (dbx encoded) Up to 12 kHz: greater than 40 dB Up to 14 kHz: smoothly decreasing to greater than 36 dB

   
CROSSTALK

Into main channel from L-R subcarrier: greater than 60 dB below +/- 25 kHz deviation.

Into L-R subcarrier from main channel: greater than 60 dB below +/- 50 kHz deviation.

   
SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO (equivalent mode, with 75 microsecond deemphasis)

FM noise in Left and Right channels: greater than 80 dB below +/- 25 kHz deviation M channel.

FM noise in L-R subchannel: greater than 85 dB below +/- 50 kHz deviation D channel.

FM noise in L+R subchannel: greater than 85 dB below +/- 25 kHz deviation M channel.

   
75 microsecond
EQUIVALENT INPUT NOISE OF BTSC ENCODER
Greater than 78 dB below 100 Hz 100% equivalent modulation level.
   
PILOT PROTECTION Better than 35 dB in a bandwidth of 1 kHz, centered on pilot.
   
AUDIO PROCESSOR Full audio processing is self-contained with the TSG; In addition to remote metering and remote control capabilities this features interleaving protection, significantly reducing dynamic distortion under real program conditions (complete specifications of audio processor available on request)
