PixelSplincher is psyched to announce the first 3DTV test and calibration system for iPad and iPhone. TV TuneUp 3D sends stereoscopic and standard test signals to displays and projectors connected to the iPad via HDMI, analog video adapters, or AirPlay. In addition to a suite of standard professional-grade test signals for formats from NTSC to HDTV, TV TuneUp 3D offers an ‘Executive Mode’ with step-by-step instructions that let anyone tune a display for a presentation or movie night, in just minutes. In 3D Mode, TV TuneUp 3D delivers 3D video in top-and-bottom or side-by-side modes, with an alignment grid and precise overscan control. 3DTV owners or buyers can easily test and compare crosstalk levels, on different systems or with different glasses, even right in the store. TV TuneUp 3D provides calibrated stereoscopic parallax samples, indispensable for optimizing home-theater seating conditions to avoid uncomfortable viewing. TV TuneUp 3D is available now in the AppStore.
TV TuneUp 3D:
Tune the projector before your presentation in a few easy steps, or compare 3D technologies on your next home theater system. Just connect to an HDMI, AirPlay, VGA or other video output and this app will display test patterns with simple instructions for tuning your image. And there’s more;
Run TV TuneUp 3D in Executive mode, and take a series of simple steps with clear instructions to perfect the picture on your projector or display. In 3D mode, the app provides advanced tools for measuring the ghosting or crosstalk for different combinations of displays and 3D glasses, for example. Use engineer mode to view a selection of standard test images matched to the resolution of your display. From NTSC from your iPhone’s Analog Video Adapter, to full HD 1080p on your iPad’s HDMI connector, TVTuneUp3D delivers pixel-perfect synthesized test patterns and industry-standard charts provided by top test-equipment manufacturer LYNX Technik.
Get the most from 3D TV:
Your iPad or iPhone can send a 3D picture to your 3D TV, and TV TuneUp 3D gives you the tools to find the best system, and get the most from it. First check and tune the stereo alignment, both Top-and-Bottom and Side-by-Side stereo modes are supported. Or use the crosstalk test to measure and minimize ghosting. It will help you find the best glasses or compare the systems in the store before you invest. Ghosting cannot be completely eliminated, but now you can reliably compare different systems, and even tune them to reduce the problem.
