MENLO PARK, Calif., Oct. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SRI International announces the availability of the Sarnoff® TG-400™ test sequence generator for content creators, broadcasters, and distributors to verify the quality of 4Kp60 digital video workflows. The player handles SD, HD, 2K, and ultra-high-definition (UHD) and 4K frame rates up to 60p.

The TG-400 player incorporates the next-generation KONA 4 professional desktop input/output card from AJA Video Systems for powerful processing.
