PATTERN SUMMARY Purity Pattern 01 - Pattern 08 (P01 - P08) Press the [OPTION] button to switch between Full Screen and Windowed format. White Blue Magenta Green Cyan Yellow Black Red (P03) and Green (P05) are often used to check color purity. When using the Red pattern, no other color should be present on the screen. -
Page 19: Color Settings
PATTERN SUMMARY Green (P05) provides a color purity check for display devices that use three in-line guns. The in-line confi guration defi nes guns which are positioned horizontally with the green gun located in the center (R-G-B). Blue (P02) is a complementary color. This pattern is frequently used to test color performance. - Page 20 PATTERN SUMMARY Switch between full and limited color range When using Pattern 09 - Pattern 12, a black screen will be displayed, fi rst. Use the [OPTION] to enable to the pattern.
-
Page 21: Color Bars
PATTERN SUMMARY Color Bars Pattern 14 - Pattern 17 (P14 - P17) There are four different color bar patterns. Use the [OPTION] button on Pattern 14 (P14) and Pattern 16 (P16) to switch between 75 IRE (Option LED indicator OFF) and 100 IRE (Option LED indicator ON). -
Page 22: Black White Line
PATTERN SUMMARY Black White Line Pattern 23 -Pattern 26 (P23 - P26) The vertical pattern serves as a test for the horizontal bandwidth and phase behavior of a color monitor. This pattern can also be used to verify the video amplifi er and color temperature. -
Page 23: Pluge
PATTERN SUMMARY Pluge Pattern 27 - Pattern 31 (P27 - P31) Pluge (Picture line up) patterns are used to perform accurate and consistent line-up of the output signal (video). The concept behind Pluge patterns is to adjust the brightness control so that the fi rst bar is invisible, while the second bar remains visible. -
Page 24: Grid
PATTERN SUMMARY Grid Pattern 32 - Pattern 33 (P32 - P33) Grid and cross patch patterns are mainly used for detecting corner convergence (“pin cushions”). GRID Cross Hatch Press the [OPTION] button on Pattern 33 (P33) to toggle between the black/white (Option LED indicator is OFF) and white/black (Option LED indicator is ON) cross hatch patterns. -
Page 25: Circles
PATTERN SUMMARY Circles Pattern 37 (P37) Produces a pattern with large circles on the screen. This pattern is primarily used for checking the overall geometry and linearity of the display. CIRCLES EDID Pattern 38 (P38) Displays the EDID pattern screen. This pattern is used to analyze the EDID data of the connected sink (display, A/V receiver, etc). - Page 26 PATTERN SUMMARY When the EDID pattern is selected, the display will appear as follows: To use the EDID pattern, follow the instructions below: Press the [OPTION] button. The EDID Analysis Menu will be displayed. The fi rst line of the menu will be highlighted in blue.
- Page 27 PATTERN SUMMARY • HDMI / DVI Out Reads the EDID of the sink (display, A/V receiver, etc) connected to the HD Pattern Signal Generator. • HDMI / DVI In Reads the built-in EDID of the HD Pattern Signal Generator. • VGA PC / HD Out Reads the EDID of the display connected to the VGA port of the HD Pattern Signal Generator.
- Page 28 PATTERN SUMMARY The HD Pattern Signal Generator will display the Vendor / Product Id EDID information on the screen.

Page 29: Audio
PATTERN SUMMARY Audio Pattern 39 (P39) This pattern displays the audio information of the connected source device, such as the number of audio channels, sampling rate, and I S (Intergrated Interchip Sound) bus data. AUDIO The table below provides a listing of the audio input and audio output combinations when using the Audio Pattern (P39). - Page 30 PATTERN SUMMARY In the example above, the Audio Pattern is shown using the external 7.1 channel audio input. The Audio Input Selection button is used to change the audio input type. Audio Input Selection button Text that is highlighted in yellow indicates that the value may be changed. In the illustration above, the HDMI output can be toggled between 2 channel LPCM and 6 channel (5.1) channel LPCM audio using the Audio Channel selection button.
- Page 31 PATTERN SUMMARY External Optical Audio Input Changing the audio input to EXT OPTICAL, using the Audio Input Selection button will produce the following screen: In the example above, since no optical input was used, the Source Format Detection displays None. The External Optical Audio Input does not support bitstream decoding.
- Page 32 PATTERN SUMMARY Changes the Sampling Rate Selects the serial Audio channel data line selection button The I S data line option is only present when the HD Pattern Signal Generator is set to 5.1 CH or 7.1 CH audio. In 2 CH mode, the I S bus can only be enabled or disabled (muted).
