The other 2 buttons are used to change the video pattern being generated there are 28 patterns (these buttons are labeled + and -).
DVI, VGA, and Component Video Pattern Generator ¾ As mentioned earlier the + and – buttons change the video output screen among the different patterns that are provided. Most standard patterns are included such as: Color bars, Color bar and Multi-burst on same screen, Grey-scale, Checkerboard, Circle, Crosshatch, etc. However several unique and interesting patterns are also available.
Model DVC-3 Digital Video Coach The same 2 patterns are also useful for Video-over-UTP Category cable both for the high-frequency loss compensation (above paragraph), but also for Skew Compensation for those devices that give you this flexibility. The right and left edges of the RGB bars should vertically line-up. Again, this pattern gives you a convenient means for making this adjustment. Operation Summary To change the resolution being produced press the OUTPUT MODE button repeatedly.
