5.5.3 VIDEO TEST PATTERNS
Crystalio II
has been designed and built to output broadcast standard video. Using the test patterns in
this menu you can use
Crystalio II
as a reference video signal generator to help with display calibration
(see
Section
4.6
).
The test patterns are grouped into the following sections:
Pixel Perfect:
These help with confirming whether your digital display is 1:1 pixel mapped with
Crystalio II
when the resolutions match (a 1080p signal into a 1080p projector for example). See
Section
4.6.1
for
more information.
Video Level:
These test patterns can help with setting Brightness and Contrast on your display and also
identify whether any Gamma Correction is needed.
Color Temperature:
This selection of patterns will help determine your display’s color accuracy.
Use your display’s color management system to make adjustments (see
Section
4.6.3.1
).
Windowed IRE:
These patterns show the different IRE steps inside a constant black border. Again, these
help set the grayscale tracking of the display and are often preferred over full-field patterns.
Gamma:
This section offers further test patterns to help set and evaluate the gamma of the display.
5.5.4 PASSTHRU
This option controls whether the input video should be processed by
Crystalio II
or passed thru directly
to the output port without any processing.
When the checkbox is checked, the input video from the associated port is passed directly
to the output port without processing
5.5.5 ADVANCED OPTION
This option controls whether advanced options are shown or hidden inside the OSD. Please refer to
Section
7
for details of advanced OSD options available.
