The built-in playlist points to all available test signals
located on the DISC website. You can follow the instructions in this section to perform
testing if you stream test signals from the DISC website.
Prerequisites
- The device under test must have access to the test
signals.
- The test application has been successfully deployed.
About this task
If you choose to set up a local IIS server
for testing, you must ensure that all test signals have been downloaded and stored in
that server, generate a playlist that contains the IIS server URL with the Playback Kit Interactive Test
Procedure, and use the Load Playlist from HTTP Server function to load the test
signals.
Procedure
-
Launch the test application from Visual Studio
2010 by using the DEBUG > Start
Debugging function (or pressing <F5>):
- The application GUI appears on the TV screen.
- All available test signals appear in the Playlist panel. Test
signals are organized by variations.
-
Navigate to the test signal you want to play in
the Playlist panel by
selecting its variations:
- By default, all available test signals are listed by
the test application. you must select those required ones to play by
referencing the resulting page that contains the test-case list
generated by the Playback
Kit Interactive Test Procedure.

about the signal. You can toggle the information on and off by clicking
the Info key
on the bottom.
- You can return to the parent-level playlist by
selecting Back
at the top of the Playlist panel.
-
Play a test signal by pressing the A key on the game
controller:
- If playback of a test signal is successful, the
Output
panel displays Opening > bitrate changed: #
Kbps>Playing, and the video plays back in the window in
correct alignment with the audio.
- If playback of a test signal fails, the Output panel displays
error messages.
library_booksNote: Adverse behaviors during
playback (such as audible pops, clicks, or muting) cannot be
detected by the test application, and no error indication will
display.
- If network bandwidth fluctuates during playback,
Current bitrate: #
kbps changes to indicate that audio track switching is
occurring to accommodate to current bandwidth.
