IR Remote Control Functions
The AccuPel HDG-4 IR (Infrared) Remote Control provides selection of all calibration patterns, signal
settings, and special modes of the AccuPel HDG-4000 Analog/Digital Video Calibration Generator. It is also
used to select settings in the HDG-4000 On-Screen Display (OSD) menu.
The HDG-4000 Format LEDs flash each time an IR remote control command is received. If an invalid
remote control command is received, the Format LEDs will blink rapidly 4-times.
Output Selection
Directly select the Output type for analog and digital video
signals.
YPbPr - Selects YPbPr analog signals (without 7.5 IRE black-
level setup), and 4:4:4 YCbCr digital signals.
YPbPrs - Selects YPbPr analog signals with 7.5 IRE black-level
setup, and 4:2:2 YCbCr digital signals.
RGB-V - selects RGB analog signals (without 7.5 IRE setup),
and RGB digital signals with standard digital video levels (digital
level 16 for black and digital level 235 for 100% reference white).
RGBs-PC - selects RGB analog signals with 7.5 IRE setup, and
RGB digital signals with PC digital video levels (digital level 0 for
black and digital level 255 for 100% reference white).
Y/C - Selects Y/C (S-video) analog signals from the 4-pin mini-
DIN connector.
CVBS - Selects CVBS (composite video) analog signals from
the 4-pin mini-DIN connector.
Note: The 7.5 IRE black-level setup on NTSC (480i) Y/C and
CVBS signals can be disabled in the OSD menu. PAL (576i) Y/C
and CVBS signals never have black-level setup.
Sync Selection
Pos, Neg, SoG –selects positive or negative analog RGB HV
sync polarity, or analog RGB signals with embedded sync-on-
green.
Note: HV sync polarity for digital signals is set according to the
EIA/CEA-861-B standard. But the digital HV sync polarity can be
overridden in the OSD menu. HD YPbPr signals and HD analog
RGB signals with SoG have Tri-level embedded sync, while SD
analog signals have Bi-level embedded sync. Bi-level embedded
sync can also be selected for HD analog signals in the OSD
menu.

signals.
ALT 24/25p – Selects 1080p23.98, 1080p24, or 1080p25
signals.
ALT 24psf – Selects 1080p23.98sf or 1080p24sf (segmented
frame) signals.
ALT 30p – Selects 1080p29.97 or 1080p30 signals.
ALT 48p – Selects 1080p47.95 or 1080p48 signals.
Note: ALT means press the ALT button first and then the
desired format button.
Note: North American standard formats are based on 59.94 Hz
(60/1.001 Hz), which is the power-up default state of the HDG-
4000. You may select 59.94 or 60 Hz HD formats in the OSD
menu. The 59.94 mode produces the 23.98p, 23.98psf, 29.97p,
and 47.95p formats (more precisely they are 24/1.001, 30/1.001,
and 48/1.001 respectively).
Note: 1080p formats are indicated on the HDG-4000 front panel
by illuminating the 1080p LED and the 60/50, 24/25, or User
LED. The 24psf, 30p, and 48p modes illuminate the User Format
LED.

Pattern Selection
There are three methods of selecting patterns – sequential group and pattern selection, direct selection by
group and pattern # (number), and user-defined pattern lists.
Sequential Group & Pattern Selection
Group
Press the top of the Group rocker button to move forward to the
next pattern Group. Press the bottom of the Group rocker button
to move backward to the previous pattern group.
Pattern
Press the top of the Pattern rocker button to move to the next
pattern in the current pattern group. Press the bottom of the
Pattern rocker button to move to the previous pattern in the
current pattern group.
Direct Group & Pattern Selection
Color75, Color100, Special, PLUGE, Gray Scale, Gray Field -
Directly select one of the 6 major pattern groups.
ALT Gray Scale – Press this button combination to select or
alternate between 0%-10% Low-GS (Gray Scale) patterns and
100%-109% High-GS patterns. Press the Gray Scale button only
to return to the default 0%-100% Gray Scale patterns. The Gray
Scale LED will blink slowly when the Low-GS or High-GS mode
is enabled.
Note: The background of the High-GS windows is 100% luma to
examine a display’s ability to differentiate levels near 100%.
Note: 100%-109% patterns are not available for digital RGB-PC
signals because the maximum signal amplitude is 100% (digital
255) for RGB PC signals.
Pat #
Press the Pat # button followed by a number button (0-10) to
directly select a pattern in the current pattern group. The active
Group LED will flash while waiting for the number button to be
pressed. Press any other button to cancel the Pat # entry
process.
This function is primarily useful to quickly select a specific
grayscale window value in the Gray Scale group. Pattern #1
selects the 10 IRE window, pattern #2 selects the 20 IRE
window, … pattern #10 selects the 100 IRE window. When the
1%-10% Grayscale pattern group is enabled, pattern #1 selects
the 1 IRE window, pattern #2 selects the 2 IRE window, etc. The
Pat # table on the next page shows the pattern #’s for all groups.
