Video calibration and testing is difficult and demanding. The result, however, is our ability to provide objective information relevant to you, but our projectors and the preferred look and act in their absolute best TVs. To consider the need tens (if not hundreds) of video test patterns, in order to properly evaluate the performance of the screen is the main time-sink in the process.

Sex with a little knowledge, Blu-ray and a decent test can make their own assessment of the screen and the basic configuration. Hand navigation CD is tedious if it is reasonable and limited trial. If you want to increase the speed and accuracy of the task, a test pattern generator dedicated (GPT) will change your life.

Enter excellent and Ultra HD 4K DVDO, AVLAB TPG. Read our full review after the break.

Most test pattern generators are expensive and boxes, which can cost as much as a used car. If you are a TPG who need the latest features, such as 4K / 2160p support talk about speed, which can cost as much as a nice used car.

DESIGN

About the size of a deck of cards the AVLAB TPG is in a rugged metal housing that a little height to the unit has wrapped. Fragile, it is not, and that's a good thing for each piece of equipment is expected that well in the field.

One reason for the compact design of the TPG is it just a video HDMI device. The lack of support for analog video is not really critical. Design HDMI passthrough TPG can make online: stuck between the display and source device, such as a Blu-ray player.

TPG-input HDMI is also compatible with MHL for easy loading of the connected mobile devices. After each digital output, an optical S / PDIF audio output available if required.

The TPG USB port makes it easy for homeowners to get the updated firmware (Version 1.02 I tested), add the new features after the initial release apply. However, the best use of the USB port AVLAB TPG for power and control over the PC. This allows the automation of the calibration process and test display.

If you do not have compatible software, the AVLAB TPG is a bit less exciting, automated user control and the ability to windows in various sizes and RGB triplet measurements for custom colors loses produce.
