Description
BPR PRO-VIDEO AND AUDIO TEST SIGNAL GENERATOR DVD
Extending the theme of the "International Broadcast Standards Tests" (IBST) media into video and multichannel audio, this DVD offers set-up and alignment sequences, and professional video tests which before this, were normally only available out of specialist hardware.
Apart from the obvious applications in setting up post-production, or playback display facilities, there are many audio-alone applications of these unique broadcast level 5.1 audio tests. In order to assist anyone extending two channel audio facilities, there are several familiar subjective recordings, including the famous Peter Donaldson version of the EBU "In the course of...." reading, recorded in a BBC basement studio and the reference recording includes some low-level detail including the infamous Broadcasting House tube-train rumble to test the lower frequencies. The Test Signal Generator DVD is supplied with a substantial manual explaining the standards and tests, and this provides linking with the international standards used in professional broadcasting.
