GEN vs Which Bin? UK

GEN-B is a professional broadcast signal generator and display analysis tool designed for broadcast engineers, AV professionals, system integrators, technicians, and anyone who needs reliable video reference signals for testing, troubleshooting, and display evaluation. Built for portability and real-world workflows, GEN-B turns your device into a powerful signal generation and analysis platform capable of producing high-quality video references while providing practical display analysis tools. VIDEO REFERENCES GEN-B includes a comprehensive library of professional video reference signals designed to evaluate displays, video paths, routing systems, converters, switchers, processors, and monitoring equipment. Features include: • Professional test patterns • Video reference clips • Multiple video formats • Multiple frame rates • Geometry references • Grayscale references • Color references • Luma references • Gamma evaluation patterns • Resolution and focus references SIGNAL QUALITY GEN-B was developed with signal quality as a primary objective. The application provides high-quality video references suitable for professional evaluation workflows, including progressive and interlaced formats across multiple frame rates. Selected reference content supports advanced color reproduction, up to 12-bit video precision, and 4:4:4 chroma sampling, helping preserve fine image detail, color fidelity, and signal accuracy throughout the testing process. DISPLAY ANALYSIS GEN-B goes beyond traditional signal generation by incorporating display analysis capabilities. Using RasterScope Analysis and SWEEP technology, GEN-B can evaluate display behavior using generated reference signals and mathematical analysis techniques. Analysis functions help users better understand: • Active display area • Aspect ratio behavior • Image positioning • Display utilization • Side matte detection • Signal-to-display mapping SWEEP TECHNOLOGY At the core of GEN-B’s analysis system is a programmable RasterScope White Box Scanner. The scanner moves through the generated raster while mathematical analysis is used to interpret positional behavior and produce meaningful display evaluation information. Rather than relying only on assumptions, GEN-B generates a known reference signal and analyzes how that signal is represented on the connected display. This approach provides practical engineering insight using a portable mobile platform. TROUBLESHOOTING GEN-B was created to assist with real-world troubleshooting scenarios. Use GEN-B to: • Verify display operation • Evaluate video paths • Test display scaling behavior • Identify aspect ratio issues • Validate system performance • Troubleshoot signal routing problems • Confirm display response to known reference signals FLEXIBLE CONNECTIVITY GEN-B supports multiple external display workflows, allowing users to work in a variety of environments. Supported workflows include: • Direct external display output through compatible adapters and cables • USB-C display connections where supported • DisplayPort-compatible workflows • Wireless Output using Apple Screen Mirroring when available When using direct external display connections, additional analysis features such as RasterScope Analysis and SWEEP may be available depending on the connected hardware. RasterScope Analysis and SWEEP Analysis require direct output verification and are not available through Screen Mirroring, since mirroring may scale, composite, or reinterpret the image before it reaches the display. A TOOL DESIGNED BY ENGINEERS GEN-B was designed from an engineering perspective. The application combines signal generation, display analysis, mathematical modeling, and troubleshooting tools into a portable solution that remains simple to operate. Generate known reference signals. Analyze real-world display behavior. Transform observations into meaningful engineering information. GEN-B by Precision Broadcast Engineering.

Not sure which bin it goes in? Which Bin? helps UK households identify common packaging, separate its different parts and find the most appropriate local recycling route. TAKE A PHOTO Open straight into the camera and photograph the whole package. Image analysis happens on your device. Confirm the suggested item, remove any parts that are not present, then see where each component should go. BROWSE VISUALLY Prefer not to scan? Browse a clear library of familiar packaging, materials and household items. Large icons make it easy to find bottles, jars, cans, cartons, trays, film, batteries, small electricals and more. LOCAL GUIDANCE Choose your postcode, council and collection type to receive guidance tailored to your area. Bin colours and services can vary by property, so uncertain results are clearly marked and linked back to current council guidance. SEPARATE THE PACKAGING Many packages belong in more than one place. Which Bin? can break an item into its pot, lid, sleeve, film, foil or card components and show a separate instruction for each part. PREMIUM COLLECTION PLANNER Upgrade to Which Bin? Premium to: • Add recycling, general waste, food and garden collections • Track weekly, fortnightly and four-week rotations • Receive local notifications before collection day • Choose evening-before, two-days-before or same-day reminders • Get Christmas and New Year collection warnings • Record council-confirmed holiday date changes PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account is required. Household details, photos, scan history, collection schedules and reminder settings stay on your device. Notifications are scheduled locally by iOS. Recycling services change. Always follow the latest instructions from your council when the app asks you to confirm a result.
