Claim Text:
1. An imaging apparatus comprising: an imaging unit having a predetermined pixel array; and a generation unit configured to generate a test video signal for evaluating consistency between a video signal generated by performing predetermined processing on a video signal output from the imaging unit, and the video signal output from the imaging unit, wherein, in the test video signal, a signal value of each pixel is set so as to exhaustively cover signal values within a predetermined range of a signal value in a direction in a video image of the test video signal, wherein a signal value of the test video signal has a repetition pattern, which exhaustively covers signal values within the predetermined range of a signal value, in the direction in the video image of the test video signal, and wherein the spatially or temporally adjacent repetition patterns of signal values have different phases from each other.
