Useful tools for the Audio Visual technician!
When you connect your device with a VGA adapter, HDMI adapter, or Airplay to a projector or flatscreen monitor, AV Aid will detect and display all available output resolutions for your device. (Even 4K!) You can then select one of these custom resolutions and AV Aid will generate and output color bars or mirror test patterns onto your display.
The audio test generator is also expansive, including left, right, center, phase test, pink noise, white noise, sweep, a test song and more. You can also designate your own custom test song from your own music library or via Apple Music. *AV Aid now features a Dolby 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound test using ec-7 (enhanced ac-3) encoding!
There are several other handy AV features like flashlight, IR detector, TRS, XLR, CAT-5 Pinout reference, cable connector resource guide, and additional tips for troubleshooting Audio Visual systems.
We have now also added a full screen front and back camera view if you would like to use your mobile device as a document camera during online meetings.
I am an A/V installer and this app is fantastic. On an iPhone, get the HDMI to lightning adapter coupled with this app, and you can do some very useful video tests. The audio is powerful as well. On church installations, I use the pink noise generator to EQ the room. Well worth having this app if you do any of that type work. It is so convenient, sometimes I forget I have it, walking to the truck to get test equipment I don’t need. I already have it!

Hi VideoRex! So great to hear that it’s working out well for your application. Thanks for the awesome review and let us know if we can do anything to make it even better!

Very useful app for a 5 star environment. Makes it easy to test a set or troubleshooting in front of clients. I will use the app from my home screen so that I can throw up a test pattern with no effort. Very useful. All the audio features and guides are a huge plus as well. No need to do a search for content to test your set.
App includes IR filter love it

We've all had that remote we wondered if it was working. This App allows me to conveniently rule out remotes as the source of my problem using only my phone.
Fantastic App, Lacks Device Optimizations

The only reason I removed 1 star is for the lack of UI optimizations for certain devices along with some jarring UI elements but for the sake of practicality some of those jarring instancing can be forgiven. I would love to assist with optimizations/design in anyway I can. 😊👍

Thanks Benjamin! Sorry I just now realized that I can reply to App Store comments. We just rebuilt the app in Version 3.0.0 and released it using SwiftUI which should scale the UI elements better across different devices. We will continue to work on the UI and feel free to head to hobjoblin.com and message us with any specifics you would like us to address. Thanks for the feedback!
- Bug Fixes: Test images should now reach all the way to the edges of the screen.
