The Evertz HD9690 & HD9690-444 Graticule Generators are multi format High Definition digital video graticule generator that key various alignment markers and mattes over a source video picture in a wide variety of applications. The HD9690-444 can be operated in a dual link mode for emerging 4:4:4 high definition applications, or a 4:2:2 mode high definition (1125 and 750 line) digital video. The model HD9690 can only be operated in 4:2:2 mode.

Commonly used configurations, stored as factory presets simplify routine operation to just a few pushbuttons. The ability to customize these factory presets to your application and store them as USER PRESETS, gives the Graticule Generator tremendous flexibility while maintaining simple operation for day to day use.

Both units are a 1RU chassis with integrated control panel. The HD9690 & HD9690-444 are also available in a remote control version, which has a blank front panel and either a rack mountable, or a desktop remote control panel.
