Test Pattern Generator

Features

Overlays

In addition to the video output, you can overlay a watermark, add text overlay, insert audio sync markers, overlay time code, and/or add frame markers.

Audio Output

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. 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.

Closed Caption Ouput

A closed caption file can be loaded and will play over the test pattern, great for checking that the CC is valid and displays correctly. The starting time code location can also be set by the user.

Multiple Channel Support

Video setup is per-channel, so a multiple channel system can output various video sizes/frame rates, etc.

"Board" Types

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 patterns to choose from, which test a wide range of technical issues.
