A just-unveiled signal generator for HDMI 3D TV, built by digital-connectivity-solutions provider Gefen, could assist anyone installing or designing home-entertainment systems. ?

Ready to throw into the truck, the Gefen ToolBox Mini Pattern Signal Generator offers different test patterns for video displays and projectors using HDMI, including a 3D TV test pattern supporting side-by-side, top-bottom and frame-packing 3D formats. ??
