AJA GEN10 HD/SD Sync Generator

AJA GEN10 Overview

The AJA GEN10 HD/SD/AES Sync Generator with Universal Power Supply is an affordable solution for generating professional sync signals. It delivers multiple sync formats, including HD tri-level sync, SD black burst or 75% color bars, and AES audio signals (tone or silence). Supporting resolutions up to 1080p/30 (NTSC) or 1080p/25 (PAL), the GEN10 offers seven outputs. One output is dedicated to AES-11 and can toggle between a 1 kHz tone and silence. The other six outputs are split into two independently controlled sets: one for SD and one for HD. SD outputs can switch between black burst and color bars, while HD outputs provide tri-level sync and support 19 selectable HD formats. All outputs are locked to a precise master clock, ensuring system-wide synchronization.

HD Outputs

Tri-level sync

SD Outputs

Switchable black burst or 75% color bars

Dual Output Groups

Independently configurable HD and SD output groups allow for simultaneous signal generation.

AES Output

AES-11 output can alternate between silence and a 1 kHz tone, accommodating both NTSC and PAL standards.

System Synchronization

Multiple devices can be synchronized without requiring a separate distribution amplifier, thanks to a shared master timebase.

Power

Operates on 5–18V DC power. Universal power supply is included.

User Controls

Configuration is done through external DIP switches for flexible setup.
