What’s in the Box
The Testor lite 3G is supplied with the following accessories: USB-DCP
charger (plus a variety of regional AC plug adapters) a USB Cable, this
User Guide and Safety Instrucons.
Please read safety instrucons rst!
We recommend you fully charge the unit when you rst receive it. Please refer to
the “Power and Charging” secon of this guide for more details.
User Interface
The Testor lite 3G is equipped with a simple and intuive user interface
that is accessed with the integrated touch screen display. The lower half
of the display is dedicated to the menu system which is used to operate
the unit. The basic touch screen buon funcons are shown below:
This type of buon triggers a funcon. i.e. if pressed the
selected funcon will be set as a direct result.
This type of buon shows when a selecon is acve.
Pressing again will have no eect.
This is a menu navigaon buon, pressing it will navigate
deeper into the menu system. As a result the buons
displayed will change to a new set of choices.
This is a “back” buon and pressing this will navigate back
to the previous menu screen.
To assist with the use of the menu system a navigaon aid is provided
aer each feature or funcon’s descripon, an example of the navigaon
aid is below:
Navigaon: HOME > PATTERN > SDI (X) > COLOR BARS (make selecon)
[buon selecons] [x=specic channel e.g. 1 or 2] [perform acon]

Power / Charging
Charging
The Testor lite 3G uses the USB port for external power and charging.
A USB DCP (dedicated charging port) charger and heavy gauge USB cable
are provided to charge the Testor lite 3G. Please only use the supplied
accessories. Using an alternave USB cable may result in the unit not
charging.
The Testor lite 3G can be connected to any standard USB 2.0 port
(computer) to charge the baery. It will take signicantly longer to charge
this way (lower available charge current) and cannot be used while in
operaon.
(If the unit is powered using a PC USB port then no charging will take
place and the Testor lite 3G will run on internal baery power)
If using a USB DCP power source then the Testor lite 3G can be used and
charged at the same me. Ambient operang temperature is 5° to 40°C.
The baery has an internal temperature sensor and will stop charging if
the baery temperature is too high. This can also happen if the unit is
charged and operated at the same me.
Charge Times
When the baery is empty, the following approximate charge mes are
required to fully charge the baery:
• 120 min. from a USB-DCP supply when unit is turned OFF
• 180 min. from a USB DCP supply when unit is turned ON
• 360 min. from a computer USB 2.0 port when unit is turned OFF
A charge status indicator is always visible on the display. A full charge will
provide approximately 4 hours use. When the baery is empty the Testor
lite 3G will shut down automacally.
Baery life is approximately 300 charge cycles. A replacement baery is
available when needed. Part: PTG-BATT
Note: The rechargeable baery is sealed inside the unit. It is not designed for
frequent baery exchange using a spare charged baery. Only change the
baery when the installed unit is no longer holding charge. Some disassembly is
required. Refer to “Baery Replacement” secon of this guide.

Power ON / OFF
Switching ON
When powered OFF, pressing the power buon for 1 second or longer
will power up the unit and it will be fully operaonal within 5 seconds.
The unit will resume with the last used sengs before the unit was shut
down.
(Current sengs are automacally stored on shutdown)
The unit will power up automacally when connected to a USB-DCP
charger.
(The unit can be manually switched OFF to facilitate faster charging)
Switching OFF
There are two ways to manually switch the unit o.
• When the device is powered ON, tapping POWER OFF on the home
screen will ask for a conrmaon before switching o.
• When the device is powered ON, pressing and holding the POWER
buon for 5 seconds or longer will also switch o the unit.
Automac Shutdown
With no user acvity (touch screen use) the unit will automacally shut
down aer a given me period to preserve baery life.
This can be preset to 5, 10 or 20 minutes or NEVER. Refer to the “Baery
Timeout” sengs in this guide to preset this funcon.
Note: While being charged the module will deacvate the automac shutdown.
Navigaon: HOME > SETTINGS > BATTERY TIMEOUT (make selecon)
SDI Outputs
SD-SDI (270Mbit) and HD-SDI (1.5Gbit) SDI Operaon
When the Testor lite 3G is congured for an SDTV video format (270Mbit)
or an HDTV (1.5Gbit) video format, each SDI output is always the same
video format but can have a dierent paern assigned. Each SDI output
can also have dierent embedded audio and the overlays switched ON or
OFF independently (overlays are the same for both outputs)
6
3G-SDI (3Gbit) Operaon
The 3G-SDI formats (1080p/50/59/60) can be streamed in one of three
possible formats:
• Two individual 1.5G SDI streams, one per BNC connector. SMPTE 372
(Dual Link)
• Two individual 1.5G SDI streams mulplexed into one 3G-SDI stream.
SMPTE 425 Level B (Dual Link)
• One real 3G-SDI stream. SMPTE 425 Level A (Direct Mapping)
The factory default seng is specied as “3G-SDI, SMPTE 425 Level A”
To set the 3G streaming modes:
Navigaon: HOME > STANDARD > 3G STREAMING FORMAT (set mode)
Seng Video Format
The Testor lite 3G can be congured to provide test signals in the
following formats/standards:
SMPTE 259M (SDTV):

2 x SDI outputs are provided. The signal format and frequency is idencal
on both outputs but independent paerns can be selected for each
output. (exepons are dynamic paerns, which are on both outputs)
Navigaon: HOME > STANDARD (select video format)

Selecng Test Paerns
The Testor lite 3G includes a wide variety of test paerns. Each SDI output
can have a dierent stac paern assigned to it. (Dynamic or moving
paerns will be on both outputs)
Stac Color Bar Paerns:
• Full Field Color Bar 100/100
• Full Field Color Bar 100/75
• Split Color Bars 100/100
• Split Color Bars 100/75
• SMPTE 219 Bars

Miscellaneous paerns
• Mul-burst
• Frequency Sweep
• Pathological EQ/PLL (split)
• Moving Boxes (Dynamic paern)
• EBU AV Sync (Dynamic paern)**
(Note: leaving the EBU menu will cause the sequence to stop)
Nav: HOME > PATTERN > SDI (X)> MISCELLANEOUS (select paern)
**For a compressive guide on the use of the EBU AV sync test paern, please visit
our website for more informaon:
www.lynx-technik.com/en/products/testor/ebu-av-sync-paern
Using 3D (stereoscopic) Test Paerns
3D (stereoscopic) test paerns, consisng of two 1.5G HD-SDI streams
for Le Eye (LE) and Right Eye (RE) can be selected. This is accomplished
by assigning the individual 3D paerns for LE and RE from the provided
3D paerns. The SDI format has to be set to one of the 1.5G HD-SDI
standards (not 3G-SDI).
By default, these two dierent signals will be streamed as two individual
1.5G SDI streams for LE and RE, one per BNC connector, according to
SMPTE 292-1.
As an alternave way of streaming these two 1.5G HD-SDI signals, the
user can enable the “3G Level B Dual Stream” mode. When enabled, the
two individual 1.5G signals will be mulplexed into a single 3G-SDI Level B
Dual Stream signal according to SMPTE 425. In this case, both SDI outputs
have the same signal.
Two dedicated 3D paerns are provided which provide a 3D eect when
viewed in a 3D environment. These comprise of two slightly dierent
paerns for le eye (LE) and right eye (RE).

3D Test Paerns
• 3D Boxes
• 3D Grey Boxes
Nav: HOME > PATTERN > 3D STEREOSCOPIC (Select LE,RE paerns)
NOTE: When seng the Testor Lite for 3D operaon, please rst select an
appropriate SDI format and 3D SDI Streaming mode.
To set the 3D streaming mode:
Nav: HOME > STANDARD > 3D/HD STREAMING FORMAT (set mode)
Selecng Overlays
Several overlay elements can be superimposed into each of the SDI
outputs. Congured overlays are the same for both outputs but can be
turned ON and OFF independently.
Circle Overlay
A 16:9 or 4:3 circle overlay can be superimposed. The circle center point
of the circle is the geometric center of the image.
Navigaon: HOME > PATTERN >SDI (X) > OVERLAY > CIRCLE
Text Overlay
A text-overlay can be added to the SDI outputs. Each output can have a
dierent text. A maximum of 16 characters can be inserted on one line.
The following characters are available for text inseron:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
01234567890-_*()/ [SPACE]
Navigaon: HOME > PATTERN >SDI (X) > OVERLAY > TEXT > (select text)
