Test card
 

Is it possible to download a test card to copy onto a DVD and show if the
television is set up correctly? If so a link to the source would be
appreciated.

Thanks.

You can download "the" testcard in photoshop format from some deeply
buried part of the BBC commissioning website, but you need to extract it
from within the layers and adjust the colour levels and burn it DVD
yourself.

You didn't mention HD, so if SD is ok, this is useful

Some DVDs such as "Toy Story" have set up sections in the "extras" including
test cards etc. Also, it is possible to display a Freeview test card using
a cryptic set of keys on your Freeview remote (see link below).

This is only SD of course.

But that is a compressed to hell image, which is not displayed
full-frame, but embedded within an MHEG page, so is not guaranteed to
display like a proper in-video test card.

Have you a THX DVD such as Star Wars there are set ups within the extra
features.
Hard to find , click on the THX logo I seem to think that will bring them
up.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Bill R"
saying something like:

You may as well just post a spotify: URL rather than a http: URL that
redirects, that way anyone who has got spotify can still play it, anyone
without won't waste their time ...

What is wrong with the standard Freeview one?
Tune to a BBCi on Ch.105 & wait for all the text to load.
Press "yellow", then tune to any other BBC channel, eg. BBC-1.
Go back to BBCi on Ch.105 & wait for all text to load again.
Press "green": the page should respond with "Secret" on the top right.
Wait for the screen to update with the status page, then press "green"
as instructed at the bottom of the page.
Slightly modified BBC Test Card W should appear within 30sec.

Alternatively, why not download TCM and make on yourself.
TCM is at http://www.oodletuz.fsnet.co.uk/soft/tcmaker.htm
and a few standard test cards are at
http://www.oodletuz.fsnet.co.uk/tcd/index.htm

I wouldn't rely on these samples being accurate replicas but they are
certainly good enough for checking geometry etc. and you can easily
personalise them or fix any inaccuracies yourself.

No info for terrestrial TV but...
If you have a satellite receiver there is usually a test card to be found
somewhere or other.

A reliable one has been on Hotbird 6, tp 12539 H.
It is shown in the Lyngsat listing greyed out as (ERTU feeds)
Comes up as feed my receiver channel list, displays a testcard with the
logo 'EGYPT'.
