How do I build a simple video test pattern?

Hi I am trying to generate a simple test pattern using the PLATFORM DESIGNER with the TEST PATTERN GENERATOR IP. Can anyone refer me to an example of that kind of a system build in the QSYS/PLATFOR...

Dear Sir,

Can you refer to our VIP suites user guide. Go to Test Pattern Generator II IP Core chapter and you can use this IP core to generate the video pattern. This IP can be found under QSYS/PLATFORM DESIGNER?

    Thank you!

    I reviewed the user guide. What I am missing is the correct way to build the system under the platform designer. I have a cyclone 5 GX starter EV board. It has a HDMI port and I also have an extender of DVI HSMC.

    What I want to do is to generate a test pattern and output it to the HDMI port or to the DVI hsmc extender.

    So I implemented a system in the platform designer which includes a clock source, clocked video output and a test pattern generator. How can I take out the data to either HDMI or DVI ports?

    Is there an IP to it?
