Test
Contrast ratio
Purpose
The pattern is based on a proposed ANSI method
of measuring the contrast ratio of video projection
systems.
Method
Using a suitable light meter probe, measure and
record the light-level reading (in foot lamberts)
in the center of each of the black and white boxes.
The contrast ratio is expressed as the average of
all of the white readings divided by the average
of all of the black readings.
