Display Lab

Source, Sink, or Anything In Between

Our Display Lab combines an extensive inventory of panels, source and sink devices, and content-delivery hardware with proprietary AV measurement tools. We test from the consumer's point of view — in controlled-lab and real-world conditions — and measure what actually reaches the screen, not just what the specification promises.

  • Panels and devices across TVs, phones, tablets, laptops, and smart displays
  • Source and sink coverage for set-top boxes, casting devices, streaming dongles, AVRs, and soundbars
  • Deep interoperability library for real-world playback scenarios
  • Frame-accurate measurement via the Novus AV Analysis Suite

End-to-End Playback Analysis

We have developed AV test tools for complete end-to-end playback analysis, agnostic to the underlying technology. The result: objective, repeatable measurements of what the viewer actually experiences.

Visual Quality
  • Glitches & artifacts
  • Distortions
  • Large-scale pixelation
  • Color & luminance
Playback Continuity
  • Dropouts
  • Buffering events
  • Freeze frames
  • Rolling framerate
Timing & Sync
  • Frame jitter & judder
  • Frame tears, skips, blackouts
  • Out-of-order frames
  • Audio / video sync
Protocol Analysis
  • HDMI / HDCP integrity
  • Stream & container analysis
  • Codec compatibility
  • Frame-by-frame capture

The Novus AV Analysis Suite

Our Display Lab measurements are driven by the Novus A/V Suite — a proprietary system that takes a frame-by-frame, end-to-end approach to test and measurement, agnostic to the underlying technology used for content delivery.

Combining cutting-edge analytics, powerful processing, and flexible test configurations, the AV Suite Core System provides the right mix of performance and versatility. Pair any of the five analysis packages with your display test plan.

  • High Speed Machine Vision Analytics (340 fps capture)
  • HDMI Analytics (1920×1080 @ 60 fps frame grabber)
  • Video Recording & Media File Analytics
  • Audio Glitch & Distributed Audio packages
