GROUP PATTERN COMMENT

H/V color bars

Color Bar

Application

The color bar pattern in fact provides sufcient information for a good overall
check on color performance. This includes the checks on burst keying, sub­carrier regeneration, RGB ampliers, the delay chrominance/luminance and
saturation check.

Grey

Scale

Application

The Greyscale pattern is used to locate faulty linearity of the video amplier
or greyscale setting. Nonlinearities mainly result in a compression of the white
level.

step8 / 16 / 32

WHITE BLACK

Purity

Blue, Red,
Magenta, Green,
Cyan, Yellow, Black

Application

The red and green patterns are most frequently used for checking color purity.
In a correctly adjusted receiver, each electron beam will strike only one set of
color dots or stripes on the screen. If the red pattern is selected only this color
should be visible; the presence of any other color is an indication that color
purity needs adjustment.
The green pattern provides a purity check for three in-line tubes. In addition
the pattern serves as a reference to locate any geometrical distortions in
these picture tubes. In the in-line tubes, the guns are in a horizontal position
and the green gun is located in the center.
Blue as well as the complementary colors are often used to check the color
performance.
The Patterns (mainly RED) are used to ensure that there is no interference
between the sound and chroma carrier.
In addition to the primary and complementary colors 100% white can be
selected as well as black pattern with color burst to check.
Furthermore purity patterns are used for measuring unwanted amplitude and
phase modulation of the subcarrier, AM and PM noise as it occurs with VCRs.

Purity Color White,

H/V B/W line

Black / White Line

Application

The vertical pattern serves for a quick check of color monitor’s horizontal
bandwidth and phase behavior of a video transmission. Also, verify video am­plier and color temperature.

bandwidth and phase behavior of a video transmission. Also, verify video am­plier and color temperature.

Gradual

White

Application

Checks and adjustment of decoders, especially video de-emphasis and bell
lters (cloche).
In the receiver, after the antibell lter, the chrominance signal should have the
same amplitude in the active video part.

Checker Board, Grid,

Grid

Inverse Grid

Application

This pattern is mainly used for checking and aligning dynamic and corner
convergence of TVs or monitors.

HDCP test and link­integrity check

Application

To test DVI and HDMI receivers with HDCP. All DVI and HDMI options, including
analyzer options, support HDCP production keys if the HDCP option is installed.

Others

HHHHHHH

H Pattern, Dot Pat­tern, Circle Center

Application

The H pattern is mainly used for checking aligning dynamic
The Dot pattern is used for checking and adjusting the static convergence.
The screen should contain pure white dots. The presence of colored dots
points to faults in focusing and convergence.
The circle center is present in the corners of the screen to check and adjust
the geometric distortion. The center cross is ideal to center TV monitors and TV
screens and alignment of picture height/picture width. Furthermore, it is used
to check the deflection linearity and the pincushion correction.
