A Closer Look at Video Test Generators
What’s in Your A/V Tool Kit?
In today’s digital age, A/V installers have many gadgets at their disposal to work with greater speed and precision. Among them, perhaps the most valuable weapon of choice is the test generator. In commercial A/V integration, choosing the proper testing and measurement tool is essential for commissioning and maintaining the optimal performance of each component.
Video test generators provide a convenient and effective way to calibrate, synchronize, and troubleshoot video display devices for accurate signal reproduction. However, most portable video test pattern generators provide few useful calibration, testing, and maintenance features.
