What's New

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

Audio Test Signals - We listened to your requests and added not just a few simple tones but a set of standard audio test signals you can use to test audio equipment for distortion before you buy, or tune your home theater:

Stereo Tones - 8 single-frequency stereo tones including standard A440 and the 'mosquito tone' (17.4kHz)
Stereo Beats - Use ears, physics, and a pair of nearly matched tones to optimize your stereo balance
Stereo Polarity - Check for speakers with reversed wires
Intermodulation Distortion - Test distortion with professional standard test signals from SMPTE, DIN, etc.
Linear and Logarithmic frequency sweeps
White and Pink (1/f) noise

Built-in Help - Gets you connected to your system and tuned up in no time.

App Description

Tune the projector before your presentation in a few easy steps, or compare 3D quality on your next home theater system. Just connect to an HDMI, AirPlay, VGA or other video output and this app will display test patterns and play audio test tones with simple instructions for tuning your system. And there's more...
Run TV TuneUp 3D in Executive mode, and take a series of simple steps with clear instructions to perfect the picture on your projector or display.  In 3D mode, the app provides advanced tools for measuring the ghosting or crosstalk for different combinations of displays and 3D glasses, for example. Use engineer mode to view a selection of standard test images matched to the resolution of your display. From NTSC from your iPhone's Analog Video Adapter, to full HD 1080p on your iPad's HDMI  connector, TVTuneUp3D delivers pixel-perfect synthesized test patterns and industry-standard charts provided by top test-equipment manufacturer LYNX Technik AG.


Get the most from 3D TV

Your iPad or iPhone can send a 3D picture to your 3D TV, and TV TuneUp 3D gives you the tools to find the best system, and get the most from it. First check and tune the stereo alignment, both Top-and-Bottom and Side-by-Side stereo modes are supported. Or use the crosstalk test to measure and minimize ghosting. It will help you find the best glasses or compare the systems in the store before you invest. Ghosting cannot be completely eliminated, but now you can reliably compare different systems, and even tune them to reduce the problem.

Tune up the seats!

Use the parallax samples to try different levels of 3D effect. Make sure the seats are not too close or just verify that the 3D is working, no blu-ray DVD required.

Tune the tunes!
With sample audio tests provided, you can optimize the stereo separation of your audio system, verify the speaker wiring polarity, and check for distortion.

Note, to use AirPlay with any app as a separate display, set AirPlay to Mirroring, and the app can use the display. AppleTV with AirPlay presently support a maximum resolution of 1280x720 when mirroring or working as an external display.
