Page 34: Test Patterns
LB-H2-SGA User Manual Link Bridge HDMI 2.0 Signal Generator and Analyzer 2.12 Test Patterns The Border pattern presents 4 equal-sized squares dividing the screen into 4 quadrants, forming a central white cross, with red, green, blue and white inner squares. Ideal for testing screen boundary, alignment and pincushion issues.
Page 35 LB-H2-SGA User Manual Link Bridge HDMI 2.0 Signal Generator and Analyzer The Circle 4 pattern provides 4 smaller white circles in each of the 4 corners of the screen. This pattern can help confirm that the display is maintaining correct geometry at the edges of the screen.
Page 36 LB-H2-SGA User Manual Link Bridge HDMI 2.0 Signal Generator and Analyzer The Colorbar Delay pattern provides a sequence of standard 100% color bars with a full set of smaller color squares within each bar. This test is primarily to detect if any of the color components of the video signal are delayed/skewed relative to each other.
Page 37 LB-H2-SGA User Manual Link Bridge HDMI 2.0 Signal Generator and Analyzer The Colorbar S. pattern is a standard SMPTE color bar pattern which is used for rapid verification of signal color accuracy and for display setup using the Blue-Only option on your display, if it has one.
Page 38 LB-H2-SGA User Manual Link Bridge HDMI 2.0 Signal Generator and Analyzer The Cross Hatch 8 pattern is a full field black & white pattern of crossing vertical and horizontal lines dividing the screen into 8 sections in each direction. This pattern is primarily used to check for color convergence and pincushion issues in projectors.
Page 39 LB-H2-SGA User Manual Link Bridge HDMI 2.0 Signal Generator and Analyzer The Diagonal 1 pattern is a set of 3 diagonal colored lines (red, white and blue) within a white square in the middle of the screen. This pattern is used to check for distortion and alignment issues in the center of the screen.
Page 40 LB-H2-SGA User Manual Link Bridge HDMI 2.0 Signal Generator and Analyzer The General pattern is an all-purpose, multi-pattern test to visually check for multiple issues simultaneously. It includes color bars, 8-step greyscale, vertical and horizontal multi-burst, cross hatch, circle and motion patterns. There are 3 variations: No motion, slow motion and fast motion.
Page 41 LB-H2-SGA User Manual Link Bridge HDMI 2.0 Signal Generator and Analyzer The Grayscale 32 pattern provides a way to check and adjust the contrast, brightness and grayscale tracking of your display with 32 bars progressing from 0% to 100% brightness in even steps.
Page 42 LB-H2-SGA User Manual Link Bridge HDMI 2.0 Signal Generator and Analyzer The Grayscale 256 pattern provides a way to fine tune the con- trast, brightness and grayscale tracking of your display with a full 265 step gradient progressing from 0% to 100% brightness. When testing a display, no color should be visible at any point across the gradient, and the transition from black to white should appear even and consistent.
Page 43 LB-H2-SGA User Manual Link Bridge HDMI 2.0 Signal Generator and Analyzer The Grayscale H pattern provides 4 distinct gray fields in an “H” arrangement for testing luminance transition stability. No color or interference should be visible at the transitions between sections The Grid pattern provides a selection of red, green, blue and white boxes with 2×2 grids within and above them to test for...
Page 44 LB-H2-SGA User Manual Link Bridge HDMI 2.0 Signal Generator and Analyzer The Letter H pattern is a screen filled with a series of large capital “H” characters moving vertically up the screen. This is a basic test to confirm motion detail. There are 2 variations: Large “H”...
Page 45 LB-H2-SGA User Manual Link Bridge HDMI 2.0 Signal Generator and Analyzer Note: The red and green variation is not available if the selected output resolution is 4K. The following timings use dual-pixel lines: 3840×2160@50/60Hz & 4096×2160@25/30/50/60Hz. The Motion-H patterns are a collection of horizontal motion tests. These can be used to test your display’s pixel on/off response time.
Page 46 LB-H2-SGA User Manual Link Bridge HDMI 2.0 Signal Generator and Analyzer The Multiburst pattern provides a standard multiburst pattern consisting of vertical white lines that decrease in thickness from left to right allowing the user to analyze the bandwidth and frequency response of the video path and connected display.
Page 47 LB-H2-SGA User Manual Link Bridge HDMI 2.0 Signal Generator and Analyzer The Pluge pattern is used to perform the accurate and consistent brightness and contrast configuration of a display. Typically you will want to adjust the brightness control of the monitor so that the first bar is just barely indistinguishable from the background black while the second bar is still clearly visible.
Page 48 LB-H2-SGA User Manual Link Bridge HDMI 2.0 Signal Generator and Analyzer The Square H32 pattern is a full field black & white pattern of squares dividing the screen horizontally into 32 sections. This pattern is primarily used to check projector linearity. There are 2 variations: Normal (white lines, black field) and Inverse (black lines, white field).
