Features

The Pocket AV Signal Generator literally is pocket-sized at just 123 x 80 x 25mm, including signal output sockets. An RCA socket provides the composite video, with nine fields (screens) to choose from, cycled through with the touch of a pushbutton.

In addition, two more RCA sockets provide stereo channels of approximately 1.5kHz audio, with the right channel clearly identifiable to assist in cable troubleshooting. And to make it completely portable, it operates from either a 9V battery or a 9V DC plugpack.
