Chapter 2 Testing Video Displays
4. Choose a suitable image (for example, SMPTE133) by pressing the adjacent soft key.
Alternatively, you can load the image with the following command:
SMPTE133
5. Verify that the image appears on the display under test.
To test the display:
1. Press the
Source key and select the first test format.
Alternatively, you can load the format with the following command:
format_name
2. Press the
Content key and select the first test image.
Alternatively, you can load the image with the following command:
image_name
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all formats and test images. Use the following guidelines to
verify proper operation:
•
When testing photometry such as chrominance, use the
, or
images. Look for missing bars which may indicate a dead or
unconnected channel. Also, look at the transitions between the bars; they should
be sharp and distinct. Each bar also should be uniform in color and intensity across
its entire width.
•
To test luminance, you can use the
(grayscale portion) image. To test
gamma correction, you can use the
(checkerbox portion) image. The
detailed methods for verifying these parameters on the
provided in Appendix B, “
•
When testing for centering use the Outline images. The detailed methods for
verifying centering with the Outline images (
Outline0, Outline1, Outline2, Outline3
)
are provided in Appendix B, “
•
When testing resolution with the Grill images, you should be able to see individual
and distinct stripes in all areas of the display at all four resolutions.
•
When testing for pixel anomalies use the Flat, Raster, and Ramp images. Use the
Raster and Flat images to look for pixels that may be stuck on or off, respectively.
The luminance should increase uniformly for the Ramp image. Also, look for
sparkles indicating problems with sampling.
•
When testing for persistence with the animated images (for example,
), look for bleeding or trails in the wake of the moving object.
