2 Generation 3D Overview
2.1 Generation 3D Description
The Generation 3D is a versatile 3D test pattern generator with both HDMI and SDI outputs. The
Generation 3D contains one internal pattern that can be displayed at any of the supported
resolutions and in any supported 3D format. The Generation 3D supports the Side by Side, Top
and Bottom, Line by Line, Checkerboard, Frame Packing and Dual Stream 3D formats. Users can
add their own patterns using ppm image files and the included SD card. The Generation 3D
automatically scans the SD card and, once selected, displays the custom patterns in any of the
supported 3D formats. The resolution of the custom patterns is dictated by the pattern image size.
If the pattern is 1920x1080, then the output resolution is either 1080i or 1080p. There is no scaling.
Using the Doremi Universal Interface software, the user can create the ppm image files from a
variety of image formats and save them to the SD card in the Generation 3D. Users can also
manually add patterns to the SD card using a PC and SD card reader.
