SMPTE Color Bars
In addition to pluge, SMPTE Color Bars includes a reverse sequence of bars.
The reverse sequence helps adjust monitor levels on monitors that provide blue
only displays. Hue can be aligned by balancing the chroma bars, and chroma can
be set by matching the chroma bars to the white bars.
Black Test Patterns
These test patterns are field field luminance reference levels. Black can be used as a color
black reference signal and the others can be used as flat luminance mattes.
Black
The composite black test pattern has characteristics that are described in the
following table:
Characteristic Requirement
Black Level 7.5 +/- 1 IRE (NTSC)
0 +/- 1 IRE (PAL and Japan*)
Blanking Width 10.9 +/- 0.2 uSec
Sync Level -40 +/- 2 IRE (NTSC)
-300 +/- 15 mV (PAL)
Sync Width 4.7 +/- 0.1 uSec
Burst Level 40 +/- 1 IRE (NTSC)
300 +/- 15 mV (PAL)
Burst Frequency 3.579545 MHz (NTSC)
4.43361875 MHz (PAL)
SCH Phase 0 +/- 3 degrees
Color Field Sequence 4 Fields (NTSC)
8 Fields (PAL)
* Setup is removed with an on board jumper
The serial black pattern has a narrower blanking width of 10.2 uSec.
50%, 80%, and Peak White
These full field luminance mattes have 10 bit luminance levels of 1F6h, 2FDh, and
3ACh.
