Appendix A
Test Pattern Source Note
A monitor may normally be connected to its signal source in one of two basic modes. The monitor’s
normal connection mode determines which test pattern source options are available for 3D LUT
calibration. The two monitor connection modes are:
Graphics Adapter Connection Mode – The monitor is normally driven from a computer’s standard
graphics adapter output. The test pattern source options for a monitor connected in this manner
are:
CalMAN Client 3. The Client 3 software utility should be installed on the computer that is
normally driving the Panasonic monitor.
VideoForge hardware pattern generator. A VideoForge HDMI or VideoForge 4K reference
pattern generator should be connected to the Panasonic monitor input that is normally
driven from the output of the standard graphics adapter.
Independent Source Mode - The monitor is normally driven from another signal source (e.g. signal
router, video adapter device (AJA or Blackmagic), etc.). The test pattern source options for a
monitor connected in this manner are:
VirtualForge software pattern generator. The VirtualForge software will control an AJA or
Blackmagic video adapter device, which should be connected to the Panasonic monitor
input that is normally driven from the video adapter or some other independent signal
source.
VideoForge hardware pattern generator. A VideoForge HDMI or VideoForge 4K reference
pattern generator should be connected to the Panasonic monitor input that is normally
driven from an independent signal source (not the standard graphics adapter).
NOTE: Computer operating systems do not provide application software with absolute bit-level control of
their graphics adapter outputs (i.e. VGA, HDMI, etc.). Without external confirmation, a standard
computer output cannot be trusted as a reference source for calibrating a display other than one that is
normally driven from that computer output.
