5.2 Operati n g Your 840H HDMI Pattern Generator
Several patterns (see
Table 3) are programmed into the 840H HDMI Pattern
Generator, in order to assess various as pect s in the f lat pa nel LCD displ ay,
projector, Plasma screen or cable. For example, the 840H tests a:
• Flat panel LCD displa y
1
• Projector, verifying that the colors are as required, tuning the size
and focus of the picture
by testing if all the pixels ill uminate with
the correct amounts of light, linearity, and high frequency
response
• HDMI cable, checking the quality
2
• Plasma screen, to check the black level of the plasma monitor (use
PATTERN 00 to generate the black screen)
of the colors, both separately
and together
To oper ate the 840H HDMI Pattern Generator, do the following:
1. Press the appropriate PATTERN button (PATTERN + to display the next
pattern or PATTERN – to display the previous pattern) to generate the
