Chroma's Critical Support in Advancing Reliable Rugged Displays

20 Oct 2025

As global investment in the aviation and aerospace sectors continues to grow, many countries are increasing budgets and modernizing technologies to ensure mission readiness and national security. Displays are at the heart of these high-tech systems, serving vital functions across simulation training, intelligence monitoring, and deployment in helmets, vehicles, and aircraft instrumentation.
Given the complexity and high usage demands of these environments, defects and performance degradation in displays are an ongoing challenge. Chroma's 2238 Video Pattern Generator provides an advanced solution, enabling fast, accurate, and flexible testing for a wide variety of rugged displays and projectors.

One Device Covers All Signal Interfaces for Aerospace Display Testing

Space-grade display systems must meet strict regulatory standards and operate reliably in extreme conditions. The Chroma 2238 signal generator meets these demands with broad support for critical video signal interfaces through modular architecture, including:

  • A223806 DVI Signal Module: Supports DVI Dual-link with pixel frequencies up to 330 MHz.
  • A223803 Analog Signal Module: Outputs standard analog signals including VGA, YPbPr, CVBS, Y/C, and Audio L/R. Supports NTSC, PAL, and SECAM video standards.

For VGA, the module meets RS-343a, RS-170, VESA, and STANAG 3350 Class B standards. It supports frequencies up to 300 MHz with resolutions up to WQXGA (2560×1600). Wide-ranging color format support includes RGB, R-Y/B-Y, ITU601, ITU709, SMPTE 240M, and RP177.

The YPbPr component interface complies with EIA-770.2a standards, supporting both SD and HD resolutions, including Sync on Green configurations. Simultaneous multi-format signal output and testing ensure comprehensive verification of aerospace display performance.

Seamless Projection Testing for Aerospace Simulation Environments

Aerospace simulation systems require seamless multi-projector image merging in constrained or non-standard geometries. Chroma's:
•    A223800 12G-SDI Signal Module
•    A223801 DisplayPort Signal Module
…enable multi-port pixel-interleaved output, ideal for tiled or edge-blended projection setups. These capabilities support precise evaluation and calibration of ultra-large, high-resolution, and seamless projection displays.

Optical Testing with High-Precision Measurement Integration

For comprehensive validation of display performance, Chroma offers optical measurement solutions that integrate directly with the 2238 platform:
•    71241 High Accuracy Universal Measuring Probe
•    71242 Small-Size Measuring Probe
These tools provide accurate measurements of brightness, color accuracy, and uniformity, forming a complete optical and signal test platform for aerospace-grade display systems.
