1. Introduction
1.1 General
Thank you for purchasing Hall Research Technologies’ Model DVC-3
(Digital Video Coach-3), a video test pattern generator for high-
resolution display devices.
The unit provides DVI, PC (VGA through SXGA), and HDTV
Component Video (Y, Pb, Pr) outputs. The DVC-3 features 28 static
and dynamic video test patterns specially designed for testing,
calibrating, and troubleshooting high end video gear and A/V
installations.
In addition to all of standard PC resolutions and refresh rates (up to
SXGA at 85 Hz), it is capable of providing HDTV outputs from 480p
to 1080p both in DVI digital and in YPbPr formats. The OSD indicates
output resolution and refresh rate settings. Among the available 28 test
patterns are: color bar, multi-burst, circle, and crosshatch. The OSD
will disappear from the screen, to prevent screen burn-in, after a time
period of 8-20 seconds depending on the pattern being displayed.
The DVC-3 comes in a sturdy metal case and it includes DVI, VGA,
and VGA-to-Component cables to handle most high-end testing and
installation requirements. The DVC-3 is ideal to use with LCD,
plasma, CRT monitors, and projectors that are equipped with PC,
Component, or DVI inputs.
