I found and downloaded the NTSC test card from the Internet and generated the 1000Hz tone using Audacity.

  • Strangely soothing...

  • @instig1989 I agree...

  • Thanks for this!

    I was looking for both a test screen and the noise for a movie I'm editing. =D

  • @MikeDracoman You're welcome! I'm glad I could help you out with your movie!

  • They dont do this anymore do they? It was sort of stupid when they did

  • Actually, there are still a number of stations out there today that still sign off very late in the night and then sign back very early in the morning, but it's usually only for a few hours. They will also usually add their call sign and channel number to the test card when they display the pattern. I have a few local stations that still sign off late at night. One of them displays the pattern for a few seconds and then they completely shut off their transmission until they sign on again.

  • @extremeweatherman08 Me Too...

  • @DeBruler88 There was a reason for the tone (Wikipedia explains it in detail). For me, I don't miss it because whenever I fell asleep with a TV on anywhere in the house I'd always be freaked out when the shows ended and the tone came on. Even infomercials are preferable to that.

  • Yeah, Back when I Had Cable, around 2AM, The Test card would come on, Then it would last for about 10 min, then it would just completely shut down.

  • This video is still better then Fred is.

  • nooww i can´t herar aything!

  • You're all retards for watching tv at 4 o'clock in the morning anyway.
