The THX test patterns enable AV professionals to calibrate the displays on high-end 3D-capable HDTVs to match the same standards as those used in post-production facilities worldwide.

Below are some of the THX test patterns included:

• 3D convergence – test patterns to align pixels for proper convergence
• 3D crosstalk – test patterns to determine level of 3D crosstalk
• Color gamut – 2D/3D primary and secondary color patterns to fine-tune colors and gamma
• Picture performance – pattern within THX Optimizer to verify accuracy of skin tones
• THX box – 2D/3D grayscale test patterns to accurately adjust white point and gamma
• THX Optimizer – test patterns to easily adjust brightness, contrast, colour, tint, etc.
• Uniformity – 2D/3D circle patterns to determine luminance and chrominance screen uniformity

With the inclusion of these THX test patterns, the 780 Test Instrument now serves as a complete reference source for video calibrators, eliminating the need for supplemental source equipment and content, such as DVD players and reference discs, which vary across suppliers.

The Quantum Data 780 Test Instrument has become an important tool in the industry for diagnosing HDMI interoperability problems both in the field for installers and in the lab for developers. The 780 Test Instrument serves as the reference test equipment for the CEDIA HDMI Troubleshooting course.
