Test Pattern
The user can replace the displayed video with a test signal.
Select from these choices:
Off:
The input video appears at the output.
Color Bars:
Sends a 75% color bar test pattern (100% white), along with audio test tones (a continuous tone on
right channel with pulsed tone on left channel in every pair) to the Kaleido-Solo output.
Lip-sync:
Sends a special test signal comprising color bars and tone plus a visual element that is used to align
audio-video delays in a processing path.
The special test signal consists of 75% color bars within which a white square is inserted every 4 seconds for a
duration of 10 frames. Simultaneously with the beginning of the first field of video containing the white square, the
audio channels at the output are pulsed with a tone lasting 250 ms.
Viewing the video display and listening to the audio allows the user to time-align the audio and video for correct lip-
sync. Go to the

menu (see section 5.4.1) to make the timing adjustment.
Note that these test signals are available only when there is an input to the Kaleido-Solo, and they only
appear on the HDMI and audio outputs; they do not appear on the BNC and optical outputs.
Note that activating the test pattern will override all audio parameters e.g.: output volume and disable
some OSD elements e.g.: audio level meters.

Metadata:
Select the code extracted from the input signal and process (scale) the video accordingly. If there
is no aspect ratio code Forced mode code will be used.
Forced:
Select the FORCED HD selection (e.g.: 16:9_8) when an HD signal is present or the FORCED SD
selection (e.g.: 4:3_8) to process (scale) the video accordingly.
Note that there is a 1 frame response time when there is an aspect code change if Follow Metadata is
selected.
