12 Model 700, 701 Quick S tart Guide T est Menu Press the T est button to select special test operating modes. Using T est Sequences Running T est Sequence Manually The generator includes a test sequence, which specifies a series of format and image combinations.
13 Running T est Sequence in Burn-In Mode Select T est > Burn-In > Run to automatically cycle through the test sequence. When the Burn-In mode is stopped, you can use the menu buttons to gate video color information, change sync types, and turn all signal outputs on and off.
14 Model 700, 701 Quick S tart Guide Using Generator with CS-1 Probe The T est > CS1 Probe option uses the Quantum Data CS-1 color sensor to measure the chromaticity and luminance (brightness) of a display . The CS-1 probe connects to the generator’s serial port.
15 S pecial T est s 2. Choose a DVI video format supported by the device. 3. Press T est > HDCP > S tart to output HDCP encrypted content. The display on the generator indicates if the test passed or failed. If the test passed, the currently selected pattern is displayed on the device under test.
16 Model 700, 701 Quick S tart Guide About VGM Video Generator Manager (VGM) is a Windows-based application for creating and editing formats and test sequences. As many as 132 formats and one test sequence can be stored in the generator . VGM was originally created for use with Quantum Data 80x video generators.
17 Creating Video Format s Editing V ideo Formats Y ou can use VGM to create your own video formats. Y ou can start with a default format in the VGM format editor , or copy an existing format. T o create a video format: 1. Connect the generator with VGM, and then double-click the generator name.
18 Model 700, 701 Quick S tart Guide Modifying T est Sequence Editing the T est Sequence The generator has a default sequence, which you can edit in VGM. One sequence can be stored in the generator at the same time. T o modify the test sequence: 1. Connect the generator with VGM, and then double-click the generator name.
19 Flat_Wht/(R,G ,B) Description - Fills the screen with white, blue (B), green (G) or red (R). Application - Use to test chrominence. Grid Decription - White crosshatch on a black background. The lines form square boxes. A single pixel dot is located in the center of each crosshatch box.
