TestPatternGenerator 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.
Test and calibrate your audio/video synchronization with audio sync tones and a sync frame marker. AV Sync markers can be aligned betwen all output channels. AV Sync patterns from other manufacturers, like Tektronix, Lynx Technik, Bridge Technologies, and Sarnoff are supported as well.
Features
Features
For the look of the interface, the user can choose between tons of preset Themes. The following image shows a few of them.
Users can choose to overlay a watermark, add text overlay, insert audio sync markers, overlay time code, and/or frame markers.
Audio can be sent along with the test pattern. User configurable audio tones include a Sine Wave and a Square Wave. There are also white noise, pink noise, and channel pattern beep options.
A closed caption file can be loaded and will play over the test pattern, great for checking that the CC is valid. The starting time code location can also be set by the user.
Video setup is per-channel, so a multiple channel system can output various video sizes/frame rates, etc.
Supported output types include ScopeDirect AvVr3D for UnReal Engine, AJA, Bluefish444, Blackmagic, and Matrox boards, NDI Network Digital Interface for local network targets, and ST-2110 (requires capable hardware and third party products).
Patterns
There are over a hundred test patterns to choose from, which test a wide range of technical issues. Spend a couple minutes with a GIF, or scroll down to see the available patterns.
