MotionMaster - Display Motion Artifact Measurement System

Special instruments and accessories for demanding display measurement applications

The MotionMaster™ rapidly measures motion artifacts such as motion blur, Moving Edge Blur (VESA 309-1), or Motion Picture Response Time (MPRT) on LCD, PDP – plasma, and other display technologies. The MotionMaster™ performs pursuit camera measurements of displays using our proprietary TDI camera technology. This allows direct pursuit measurements without moving parts – no vibrations to corrupt the measurement!

Motion artifact measurement has become increasingly important for the latest flat-panel display technologies such as LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), PDP (plasma display), and DLP as these technologies attempt to deliver the best HDTV video performance by reducing motion blur, dynamic false contour, and color break-up. Westar’s MotionMaster™ provides the tools needed by display manufacturers, graphics chip designers, and TV integrators to characterize motion artifacts. Your investment in MotionMaster™ will not become obsolete - Westar will continue to add analysis functions to the MotionMaster™ software as new motion artifact standards are developed.

Comparison of MotionMaster™ to other Measurement Methods

Other measurement methods Issues Benefit of MotionMaster™ Technology
Pursuit camera Potential vibrations due to camera movement No moving parts – no vibrations
High-speed cameras Low sensitivity due to short (< 1.7ms) exposure times High sensitivity > 16ms exposure times
Simulation based on response time measurement Indirect measurement of blur – requires detailed knowledge if display behavior Direct camera based blur measurement – independent of display technology
 
Note: If response time measurements are needed see our Gray-Level Response Time Measurement System
