TestPatternGenerator

Audio multichannelTestPatternGenerator is a software test pattern generator.  It provides over a hundred test patterns for signal path validation, AV Sync, Compliance, and Setup applications. Tones can be output along with the test pattern, as well as text overlay, closed captions, time code, frame counter, and more.

Test Patterns for Setup, Calibration, and QC

TestPatternGenerator provides a wealth of test patterns for testing, setup, and calibration of video and audio levels throughout your facility. It supports AJA, Bluefish444, Blackmagic, Matrox, NDI, ST-2110, and ScopeDirect for UnReal Engine outputs. TestPatternGenerator will use multiple outputs on capable hardware, and outputting different sizes and frame rate video is supported. As an add on to our DrasticScope software suite, it provides an excellent end to end signal testing and calibration solution, or you can use it as a standalone component of your setup tools.
