I have noticed something horrible on the GAMMA CHART test card when using Pixel plus and want to see if its just me.
Does anyone have AVIA and a Pixel Plus TV who wants to try this?
Go into VIDEO TEST PATTERNS
The select SPECIAL TESTS
Now select 'COLOR DECODER'
No skip tracks to YC DELAY, STATIC ZONE PLATE, MOVING ZONE PLATE (HIGH), MOVING ZONE PLATE (LOW) and finally onto the GAMMA CHART test card.
This test has a number of grey boxes on a background of horizontal lines.
After doing it this way (i.e going through the other tests), the background is an awful shimmering mess.. If you then switch to "100hz Dig. Scan" it looks perfect (i.e a load of horizontal lines)..
Now switch back... It still shimmers but looks better.
I have a feeling that one of the previous tests (probably the Moving Zone Plate) gets PP+ in a funny state.
If you start at the main menu (SPECIAL TESTS) and select 'GAMMA CHART', you don't get the 'awful shimmer mess', you just get the 'shimmer'.
Can anyone test this and let me know whether I have a problem.
