The generator has a library of standard formats. For a description of how the library is organized, see the 881/882 User's Guide.
Once you have selected a format you can modify the format options and settings if necessary. For instructions on this refer to the User's Guide.
To select a format:
1. Identify the type of display (composite television, component standard definition television, component high definition television, computer equipment, or other specialty display).
Check the specifications of your display for supported formats.
2. Press the Source key to access the list of formats. A list of formats appear on the generator’s display as shown below. To see all of the formats, press the + and - keys.
The list of formats that appears when you press the Source key may be a filtered or abbreviated list. Formats not suitable for the selected interface type will not appear by default on the Source list.
The list of formats that appear when you press the Source key will be the formats in the Format folder of the media storage location that you have set the format path parameter to using either the Browse mode or command line (FMTP parameter).
4. Choose a format by pressing the adjacent soft key.
Selecting images
Once you have determined the format or formats appropriate for testing the display, you will apply a series of images suitable for evaluating the display. Of primary importance is determining what type of display you are testing (for example, CRT or digital flat panel display). You must also determine if you are testing composite TV and use images appropriate for these formats and video types.
Each image in the generator’s library is intended to test one or more attributes of a particular display type and video type.
