VQCB tests are useful when streaming in multiple formats or when converting between formats.

They provide for automated cloud-based QA/QC via the companion VQCBA software analyzer, generating machine-readable JSON reports. In-depth analysis is possible via the VQV tool.

With a VQCB test you can instantly check that the video circuit is active and audio is in sync.

The layout, data levels and appearance of the SDR variants of VQCB test pattern suite are similar to the HDR variants, which makes much easier the usage of the whole VQCB suite in modern mixed formats environments.
