Abstract
Characteristics of a color encoder can be measured under the same condition as a practical operation without modifying the color encoder as a device under test. A test signal generator generates R, G and B component signals as test signals and they are applied simultaneously to the color encoder. The output amplitudes and/or output phases of the component signals from the test signal generator are adjusted such that the color encoder produces at least one of a luminance signal, an I-axis signal and a Q-axis signal in accordance with a measurement item.
