Test Patterns
Warning:
Test patterns can burn plasma and CRT displays if left on for more then a few seconds.
The user can select from a large selection of test patterns. While in the test pattern menu the
and
arrows select a test pattern group. Press the “4” button to step though the test patterns in a group. For
many test patterns the intensity can be adjusted from 0 to 100 IRE, in 5 IRE steps, using the
and
arrows. Reference test patterns are only affected by the output PC/Video level setting. Adjustable patterns
allow viewing the effect of the output color management settings. The Warm Up test pattern displays a 20
IRE to 50 IRE gray screen.
To exit the test pattern command but leave the pattern on-screen, press “OK”. You can then adjust various
parameters to judge their effect on the pattern. Press “Prev” to then toggle between the source and the
pattern. Press “Alt” to jump back into the pattern command. The “Prev” and “Alt” functions are only valid
if leave the pattern on-screen by pressing “Ok”. The ten video inputs are numbered 1 to 10. For inputs 1
through 9, press the “Input” button and then press the corresponding number button on the remote. For
