Abstract
Method and system for testing any type of video display, video monitor or other device that produces a video signal, and that is capable of providing information about the video and optionally audio specifications and/or capabilities of the output signal to an external device when coupled thereto. The external device obtains the information about the specifications and/or capabilities and based thereon, assembles one or more pre-defined tests from a test database/repository containing tests to enable testing of compliance of the video signal producing device to those specifications and/or capabilities. This compliance testing may entail generating video or audio content at a source generator, providing it to the video signal producing device, and determining the accuracy of the output of the video signal producing device to the input content. A determination of the results of this test may be provided to an operator of the testing apparatus.
