The PenPal-HD unit provides engineers with a versatile toolkit of HD test patterns and embedded audio test signals with which they can check signal path integrity and/or system performance.
The unit costs $2,399 and is small enough to fit in one's pocket. PenPal-HD features 32 video test patterns in 18 HD standards, including three moving test patterns, 10-bit video test patterns, and four stereo pair of AES embedded audio in the HD-SDI signal.
