Dynamic (moving) test patterns
P TG 5610 supports dynamic test patterns and there are several patterns included which
are animated. Patterns shown below
Zone Plate
Luminance Zoneplate
Chrominance Zoneplate
The P TG 5610 includes a real time zone plate generator. Using the “Pattern
Preferences” setting it’s possible to select between a Luminance Zoneplate and a
chrominance Zoneplate and preset the aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9 in SDTV). H and V center
frequency can also be independently changed. This pattern is useful for checking
aliasing, and any conversion function performed in digital signal processing. Artifacts
manifest themselves as small circles.
Note. Changing the pattern preferences for the dynamic Zoneplate will also
change the static Zoneplate. Pattern preferences are stored in flash ram and will
Survive power cycles.
EBU AV Sync Pattern
This dynamic pattern is particularly useful for checking a number of audio and video
parameters. The pattern includes a number of static elements and some motion elements
which can be used for “Transmission Alive” checking and also audio sync (lip sync)
verification.
Pattern elements are shown below:
