Equipment vs. Test Pattern

The article doesn't make a clear distinction between the PM5544 test pattern generator (the equipment) and the PM5544 test card (the output signal) that it generates. In the opening sentence the PM5544 is described as a "test pattern generator", later the article talks about "this test pattern", and later again about "the unit", suggesting equipment again. I believe this should be solved. Note that the Philips PM5544 is not the only equipment used to generate PM5544 test patterns. Jaho 07:06, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, does someone have a picture of an original Philips PM5544 unit (the equipment)? Jaho 07:12, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PM5544 test pattern technical questions

Which tests and checks can be done with this test card? Abdull 13:27, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An answer to your question can be found here: [1]. Jaho 03:26, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know how much this explains, but in the Swedish version, there was a small line moving, and the correct time was given digitally. 惑乱分からん 19:12, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently you're talking about the animated digital version. Info about that moving line can be found on the same article as above (here: [2]; scroll down a bit). Jaho 06:25, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Test Pattern used in Australia

This Test Pattern was also used by ABC Television Australia. Kathleen.wright5 11:30, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually a huge number of broadcasters around the world are using this test pattern in some form, I believe it wouldn't be a good idea to mention them all here on wikipedia. I've removed your remark from the article. Jaho 03:18, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
