VirtualForge is a network-controlled software pattern generator, specifically designed for image production, post-production color grading, content creation, broadcast television, and display device manufacturers requiring display calibration and color management. As a cost-effective alternative to expensive standalone hardware pattern generators, it works seamlessly with Calman calibration software to automatically generate a variety of video test patterns, supporting both SDI and HDMI output.

Why Choose VirtualForge?

In professional image production and display device testing, generating stable and accurate video test signals is essential for ensuring reliable color calibration results. Traditional hardware pattern generators are often costly and complex to deploy. VirtualForge offers a flexible, software-based solution that leverages users' existing AJA Video Systems or Blackmagic Design hardware to efficiently generate test signals, helping to significantly reduce equipment procurement and maintenance costs.

How Does VirtualForge Help Me?

① Save on High Hardware Costs: Eliminate the need for additional standalone pattern generators by fully utilizing your existing equipment for test pattern generation.

② Streamline Calibration Workflow & Improve Efficiency: Seamlessly integrated with Calman software, it automates the generation of a wide range of standard test patterns to accelerate display calibration processes.

③ Flexible Multi-Interface Output: Supports both SDI and HDMI outputs, meeting the needs of content production, post-production, broadcast monitoring, home theater, and more.

④ Remote Network Control: Enables network-based remote control for convenient team collaboration, off-site deployment, and centralized management.
