One Device to Rule Them All: Chroma 2238 Satisfies All Display Video, Color, Optical Signal Measurement Needs

31 Jan 2023

Television and display specifications are rapidly evolving towards ultra-high resolutions and superior color presentation. New 2K, 4K, and even 8K resolution displays are introduced to the market on a daily basis, supporting a range of signal interfaces such as HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C, and SDI, and used in a host of applications spanning the film, medical, gaming, and automotive industries. Manufacturers keep pushing the envelope to meet consumers' need for ever-more compelling visual experiences. However, with millions of pixels on the screen and the need to support various video signal specifications and functions, defects are bound to arise during the production process. Swiftly detecting and addressing such defects has become a critical concern for manufacturers. The Chroma 2238 Video Pattern Generator is a display evaluation expert, and can be paired with the Chroma 71241 High Accuracy Universal Measuring Probe for a complete display test solution poised to bring your production efficiency to the next level.

Wide Array of Test Interface Combinations

Chroma 2238 can be equipped with any of 12 high-performance, interchangeable signal modules, including HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C, 12G-SDI, Analog, and DVI. Simultaneous output through up to 4 different signal modules can be achieved with the 2238's Multi-Out function. Each signal module has an independent high-speed graphics engine capable of simultaneously outputting different resolutions (timing) and test patterns, with a switching time for ultra-high-resolution images of only 200 mS (at 8K). The instrument also comes with a library of 34 3D test graphics. Users can freely choose the most suitable configuration according to their test applications.

User-Friendly Interface for Easy Operation

Chroma 2238 sports an intuitive user interface with a 7-inch touchscreen for intuitive and flexible operation. With its Instant Pattern View function, users can browse and edit test patterns and instantly output them on the device. In addition to the built-in touchpad, the 2238 can also be connected to external input devices (such as a keyboard or mouse) through the USB interface, providing users with various ways to operate the instrument.

Chroma 2238 is equipped with a smart fan system to maintain optimal operating temperature, a SMART I/O composite expansion control interface, a Gigabit Ethernet high-speed communication interface, and support for various 3D signal formats for medical displays. These features make the instrument suitable for a diverse range of requirements for automation equipment control in production lines. When paired with the Chroma 71241 High Accuracy Universal Measuring Probe, the 2238 offers precise measurements of display color performance, including chromaticity, brightness, uniformity, flicker, and gamma measurements, delivering a comprehensive integrated signal and optical test solution.
