PT6 generates 5 10-bit, line based, video patterns which can be used for the testing of video transmission paths. PT6 just requires a 27MHz clock whilst the output is a compatible BT656 video stream for both 525 and 625 line formats. The pattern memories may also be written to by the user for creating custom patterns and also multiplexed into a single frame.

The patterns are:

• 75% colour bars (for measuring chrominance and luminance levels and vectors)
• 2T, 20T pulse and bar (for measuring pulse response - K- factor - and chroma/luma delay)
• Modulated 5-step staircase (for measuring linearity and differential gain and phase)
• Multiburst (for measuring frequency response)
• Modulated ramp (for measuring signal to noise ratio).

Control and memory are written to and read from using a conventional 8 bit wide microprocessor interface.

PT6 is supplied either as an encrypted 'black-box' file with a fixed 3 year renewable unlimited use license, (Altera only, lower cost), or as an unlimited time, unlimited use license, (all vendors and ASIC/IC). Source code files are supplied as RTL compliant Verilog. PT6 is supplied with 6 months telephone/e-mail support and a 3 year update and bug fix guarantee.
