What's New in GenR8

Fixed an issue where HDR Pattern would not render when connected to a SDR display. System now switches to EDR mode. Fixed an issue where AV Sync overlay and test pattern animations would not run when Reduce Motion was enabled.

Sync Video would be handy

Great App really handy a sync style video with sound would be great.

AV Sync added but if Reduce Motion is turned on in System Settings the App doesn’t have any movement.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! Unfortunately this is a limitation from iOS that reports the highest refresh rates available. We are working on a manual solution to push EDIDs, yet it is not supported as of yet within iOS. Interlaced format are also not supported with iOS devices, you could use an external converter inline, yet I realize this defeats the purpose of a mobile unit. As soon as there is an available solution we will add this capability.

Works - no tricks

It does what it says at a fair price. No subscription or tricks to try and monetize you or your data

Thank you for the feedback!

Production powerhouse

Having this level of control over test pattern outputs is worth 10 times the cost of this app. Keep up the great work!
