Useful tools for the Audio Visual technician! When you connect your device with a VGA adapter, HDMI adapter, or Airplay to a projector or flatscreen monitor, AV Aid will detect and display all available output resolutions for your device. (Even 4K!) You can then select one of these custom resolutions and AV Aid will generate and output color bars or mirror test patterns onto your display. The audio test generator is also expansive, including left, right, center, phase test, pink noise, white noise, sweep, a test song and more. You can also designate your own custom test song from your own music library or via Apple Music. *AV Aid now features a Dolby 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound test using ec-7 (enhanced ac-3) encoding! There are several other handy AV features like flashlight, IR detector, TRS, XLR, CAT-5 Pinout reference, cable connector resource guide, and additional tips for troubleshooting Audio Visual systems.
