Batch Loading of Multiple Custom TSG Images
The MVPHD-24 can quickly load multiple Custom TSG Image files in a batch process. This feature is useful when
adding the same custom test signals to multiple MVPHD-24s. This method will require a computer or some means of
editing the filename extensions for the Custom TSG Image files.
The MVPHD-24 uses a proprietary format for loading or storing images of various resolutions at 20bit 4:2:2 quality.
These image files are produced by the MVPHD-24, or a software image converter provided by California Media
Engineering. This proprietary format normally uses the .HD2 filename extension and is stored in the “STILLS” folder
located on the SD/MMC Card.
The Batch Load feature requires the desired stills to be renamed and stored in a folder named “CUSTOM”. The
filename extension must be changed from .HD2 to .TSn where n represents the Custom TSG number 1 – 8.
For example, an image file with the name “My test signal.HD2” is renamed to “My test signal.TS1” and stored in the
“CUSTOM” folder on the SD/MMC Card. This Image file will be batch loaded into the Custom TSG1 buffer.
To begin the batch process, first turn the MVPHD’s power switch off. A SD/MMC Card must be installed on the
front panel which contains both the Custom Key and the “CUSTOM” folder (both located in the root directory).
Press the TSG button while turning the power switch on, and continue pressing the TSG button until the message
“Loading *.TSn…” appears on the front panel display. The MVPHD-24 will then proceed to load all the image files
in the CUSTOM folder, before the unit completes booting.
Customizing Sizing Chart Test Signals
The two test signals named “16:9 Sizing Chart” and “4:3 Sizing Chart” can be updated with a customized version
provided by California Media Engineering. (Note: Only files provided by California Media Engineering should be
used to update these test signals. The signal names shown in the list of test signals are always “16:9 Sizing Chart” and
“4:3 Sizing Chart” and will not change regardless of the image actually loaded.)
The provided custom files will be named “xx 16x9SizeChart.TSA” and “xx 4x3 SizeChart.TSB” and should be placed
in a folder named “CUSTOM” on the SD/MMC Card (located in the root directory).
