CalMAN HTPC Pattern Generator is a free software tool that generates video test patterns from your PC. It is designed to be used with the CalMAN display calibration application, but it can also be used as a standalone app.
CalMAN HTPC comes equipped with a vast collection of video test patterns, giving you complete control over select frequencies, colors, and video levels. You can generate an extensive selection of brightness, contrast, Pluge, Hi / Lo, ANSI, Grayscale, SMTPE Bars, Ramps, Decoders, Square Waves, and Sine Waves patterns. The software can be used in full-screen mode, or the patterns can be served in a windowed mode. Furthermore, an inbuilt TCP / IP interface allows remote PCs to control and automate its functions.
The measurement automation in CalMAN HTPC's display calibration application goes far beyond what was available in the past. Additionally, the entire calibration runs can be automated and gray scale measurements, for instance, in under two minutes or even lesser time, with a touch of a button.
Furthermore, HTPC can perform its tasks as a stand-alone application or integrate with other packages. With the Direct / X interface, it can produce each pattern on-the-go, and it is not reliant on saved patterns. This feature impressive response time and rugged reliability.
It also boasts of an extensive feature-set far above any other software app currently on the market, and perhaps the most significant benefit of CalMAN HTPC, it is free. It makes it the go-to software for any professional video calibrator, and for those who are just venturing into display calibration for the first time.
