The following tests are based on the original SMPTE

 

quideline:

Test:

Visual Chroma Gain Adjustment

Method:

In order to perform this test, you must have a way

 

of turning off the red and green guns in the monitor

 

under test. Turning off the red and green video

 

components of the 801GX’s video output will not

 

work for this test.

 

This test uses the upper and central color bars. Switch

 

off the red and green guns on the monitor. This will

 

produce four blue bars, separated by black bars.

 

Adjust the chroma gain so that the brightness of

 

each outer blue bar is uniform over the entire bar.

 

The gain is correct when the bottom 10% of each

 

bar is the same brightness as the rest of the bar.

Test:

Visual Chroma Phase Adjustment

Method:

In order to perform this test, you must have a way

 

of turning off the red and green guns in the monitor

 

under test. Turning off the red and green video

 

components of the 801GX’s video output will not

 

work for this test.

 

This test uses the upper and central color bars. Switch

 

off the red and green guns on the monitor. This will

 

produce four blue bars, separated by black bars.

 

Adjust the chroma phase so that the brightness of

 

each of the two central blue bars is uniform over

 

the entire bar. The phase is correct when the bottom

 

10% of each bar is the same brightness as the rest of

 

the bar.

Test:

Visual Black Level Adjustment

Method:

This test uses the lower right hand portion of the

 

image. Reduce the black level until the gray bar

 

disappears. Slowly increase the black level until the

 

bar just becomes clearly visible.
