HDR Pattern

The SIX-G-8K contains 3 HDR test patterns and 1 HDR reference image provided by DVS (www.diversi-fiedvideosolutions.com). These test patterns/images are natively 1920×1080@60Hz 4:2:2 12Bit 1000nits. Use the test patterns to verify black level, white level, and colour saturations are set correctly on the display. Use the reference image for confirmation.

Black Clipping
This test pattern shows a black level from code value 64 up to code value 156. Code value 64 is REFERENCE BLACK. Ideally, you can see code value 68 and greater while still preserving code value 64 as black.

NOTE : Some consumer displays cannot resolve some of the bars above  This is due to the display’s limited capabilities.

White Clipping
When viewing this pattern on a display you should be able to see all of the white bars up to the display’s capabilities. For example, if you are viewing this on a display that is only capable of 800nits the last several bars will be clipped (look the same). If the display is capable of 1,400nits or more you should see all of the bars.

Colour Clipping

When viewing this pattern on a display you should be able to see a difference in all of the gradients in white and the primary/ secondary colors. This is based on the display’s limited capabilities.

NOTE : This test pattern was mastered with a maximum luminance of 10,000 units. If the display you are testing is only capable of 1,000 units, everything after that will be clipped (look the same).

Indian Market
This is an HDR reference test image. This can be used as a confidence test to ensure that the display under test is displaying HDR correctly. If the display is calibrated you should be able to see tails in her hair, her skin tone should look natural, the colours of the food/ spices should look natural, and the entire image should be free of art- facts and edge enhancement.

HD ISF Pattern
This menu contains 9 ISF Patterns in HD (1920x1080P 60Hz).

1. Black Pluge HD
2. White Pluge HD
3. Geometry 178 HD
4. Geometry 240 HD
5. Cone Gradients
6. ISF Color Girls
7. PD Family
8. ISF Dob
9. Red Blue MTB

UHD ISF Pattern

This menu contains 3 ISF Patterns in UHD (3840x2160P 30Hz).

1. Black Pluge UHD
2. White Pluge UHD
3. Geometry UHD

Dolby Vision Pattern
This menu contains 2 Dolby Vision Test Patterns

1. Dolby Vision FHD
2. Dolby Vision UHD

IRE Window
Use this menu to change the size and level of the window test pattern. This may be helpful when working with different display types. Once in this menu press the OK button. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to INCREASE/DECREASE the window size. Use the LEFT/RIGHT buttons to LOWER/RAISE the level of the test pattern.

NOTE : Size can be adjusted from 0-100. The level can be adjusted from 0-255 (black to white) in increments of one. To adjust in increments of more than one press and hold either UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT depending on whether you are changing size or level.

RGB Triplet:

Use this menu to create a custom window test pattern. Here you can control the size and color of not only the window but also the background of the test pattern. This can be used for SDR and Dolby Vision/ HDR. RGB Triplets are the numerical values used for making over 16,000 colours. Combining the RGB values will generate a specific colour. For example, the RGB triplet value for white is R=255, G=255, B=255.

Once in this menu, you can change the RGB Values for both the even and odd lines that make up the window, the even and odd lines of the background, the size of the window, and whether the window moves or is stationary. To change values you will use the UP/DOWN arrow buttons to INCREASE/DECREASE the value of R, G, and B. Use the OK button to advance through the menu. To change the size of the window press the OK button until SIZE is highlighted. Use the UP/DOWN arrow buttons to change the size. The size can be adjusted from 0% to 100%. Setting the size to 100% will result in the window pattern filling up the entire screen of the display you are testing. To select whether the window moves or is stationary press the OK button until MOVE is highlighted.

There are two options:
D (Disable) or E (Enable). Use D for a stationary window. Use E for a moving window. If using E the window will scroll right to left across the display you are testing. To toggle the output between SDR and Dolby Vision/HDR press the OK button until MODE is highlighted- ed.     To choose SDR use the NORMAL setting. To choose HDR/Dolby Vision use the DV HDR setting.

NOTE : Although you can use this tool using the front panel controls we HIGHLY recommend you use the free PC Control Software.

Color Space Setup

**** Select the Color Space for the display or system you are testing. These include the following options:

1. RGB (0-255)  RGB Full is generally reserved for PC monitors since PCs use full range
2. RGB (16-235) RGB Limited – HDTV SMPTE Range – Movies and most video-based content (TV Shows, streaming, etc.) are viewed and produced within this range.
3. YC444 (16-235) YCbCr 4:4:4 – Full horizontal & vertical resolution – no chroma-sub-sam-
4. YC422 (16-235)  YCbCr 4:2:2 – ½ horizontal resolution, full vertical
5. YC420 (16-235) YCbCr 4:2:0 – ½ horizontal resolution, ½ vertical
6. AUTO – The Generator will output the colour space of the connected device based on that device’s EDID.

NOTE : The human eye is less sensitive to colour data compared to luminance; colour data for that reason is ½ horizontal and vertical resolution. Generally, YC422 is the setting for most consumer electronics sources like Blu-ray players and cable/satellite boxes.

BT. 2020 SETUP
Enable/Disable BT2020 (Wide Color Gamut). The options include:

1. BT. 2020 D
2. BT. 2020 E

NOTE : When BT. 2020 is Disabled the default color gamut is BT. 709

Deep Color Depth
Deep Color Depth – Also known as Color Depth/Bit Depth.

Allows selection of bit depth between 8 and 16 bits per pixel. This menu contains the following options:

1. 8Bit
2. 10Bit
3. 12Bit
4. 16Bit

As the Bit Depth increases the image looks smoother, especially within solid colors in the image.

Note : Resolution/Timing, Color Space, and Bit Depth are interrelated and they all affect the total bandwidth. If the bandwidth exceeds the system’s capabilities, you may have to lower any of these parameters. If not, you may experience no signal or no image on the display under test.

HDCP Setup
In this menu, you can enable or disable HDCP. Disabling HDCP may be useful while troubleshooting. This menu contains the following options:

1. HDCP OFF
2. HDCP 4
3. HDCP 3

In the above example, the repeater/AVR cannot pass HDCP 2. x (resulting in “HDCP Snow”). Steps must be taken to convert, bypass, or replace the non- compliant device.

HDCP 2.2 Content Type ****

Content Type 0, Content Type 1

1. Content Type 0  Does not require 2 (will fall back to previous versions)
2. Content Type 1 Requires HDCP 2 (will not fall back to previous versions)

HDMI /DVI Setup

**** This menu will allow you to select between HDMI and DVI as the SIX-G-8K’s output. Although the SIX-G- 8K’s physical output port is HDMI, if using an HDMI to DVI adapter anywhere in the signal chain this may result in no signal or no image on the display under test.

This menu contains the following options:

1. DVI
2. HDMI
3. AUTO

Note : Use the DVI option if there is an HDMI to DVI adapter anywhere in the signal chain. Use the HDMI option if all the cables in the signal chain are HDMI. The connection type is embedded in the EDID (extended display identification data) data block. Using the AUTO setting the SIX-G-8K will automatically select HDMI/DVI based on the EDID of the display under test

HDR SETUP
Choose from Off, or from 8 customizable HDR Test Info-frame. The included HDR levels are some of the most commonly used. If you would like to build a custom HDR Infoframe please use the SIX-G-8K’s PC Control Software.

NOTE : The volume level control does not affect the 3.5mm L/R Input.

CEC Test
The CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) test is a simple pass/fail test to confirm that CEC is functioning on the device that is connected to the SIX-G-8K. This can be either a source, repeater, or sink (display). To run the CEC test connect an HDMI Cable from the SIX-G-8K to the device you are testing. Navigate to the CEC TEST menu and press the OK button. The test results will be either:

1. PASS
2. FAIL

NOTE : This test will fail 100% of the time if CEC is not ENABLED on the device you are testing. For specific instructions on how to enable CEC on the device you are testing, see the owner’s manual of that device.

Sync & Latency Test
This test is designed to measure (in microseconds “us”) the sync and latency between the source and sink.   This could be something as simple as an HDMI cable or as complex as a distributed AV system. The results of this test will give you the data needed to adjust any audio or video delay adjustments in the AV system.

This test requires the use of both the SIX-G-8K and the SIX-A-8K. In this example, we will test the latency- cy between the SIX-G-8K and SIX-A-8K (Generator/Analyzer) when the signal is run through a repeater device.

1. Connect the SIX-G-8K to an INPUT of the repeater (AVR) with an HDMI cable
2. Connect the SIX-A-8K to the OUTPUT of the repeater (AVR) with an HDMI cable
3. Using a 5mm analogue stereo cable, connect the SIX-G-8K to the SIX-A-8K using the SYNC port on both devices
4. Navigate to the SYNC & LATENCY TEST Menu
5. Press the OK Button
6. Read results

NOTE : If the test shows as FAILURE check that the 3.5mm cable is fully inserted into the SYNC port on both devices.

Save EDID:
You can save up to 6 EDIDs from any device that has an EDID. Reading the EDID of the device that you are testing will help you understand the capabilities of the device. To save and EDID:

1. Connect an HDMI Cable between the SIX-G-8K and the device you would like to read the EDID from
2. Navigate to the SAVE EDID menu
3. Use the UP/DOWN arrow buttons to choose a slot/memory (1-6)
4. Press the OK button

If the SIX-G-8K successfully reads the EDID of the device you are testing you will see SUCCESS next to the slot/memory.

If the SIX-G-8K was not able to read the EDID of the device you are testing you will see FAILURE next to the slot/memory. If this happens be sure the HDMI cable is fully inserted into the HDMI ports on both devices.

Sink EDID Info
This menu will give you the basic EDID information of the device that is connected to the SIX-G-8K. This information includes the device’s manufacturer, preferred timing, and more.

NOTE : To see detailed information about the EDID use the SIX-G-8K PC Control Software.
