Owner's Manual

After viewing this pattern with all
of
the different
output
modes selected
sequentially,
put
a check in the row labeled
"Diagonals smooth"
for the mode
that
has the smoothest-looking diagonal lines.
If
they all look the same,
put
a check in
all the boxes.
Ramps
A
"ramp"
is
a
smooth
gradient
of
color
or
gray
that
goes from
one
color to
another
or
one
level to another
as
you move across
or
down
the screen. There are six ramps
on
this pattern: two vertical ramps
on
each side (one
luma
and
one
chroma
per
side),
and
two horizontal red
and
blue ramps just above
and
below the
chroma
alignment patterns.
Each
of
the ramps should look
smooth
and
even,
with
no bands
or
streaks anywhere
along it. The two ramps in the center should
not
have a wide solid colored area
in the center,
but
should vary from black to full red
or
blue at a
thin
peak
in
the
center
and
back
to
black .
.Mter looking at the ramps in each color space,
put
a check next
to
"Ramps clean"
if
the ramps look
smooth
and
even
with
no
bands
or
streaks.
Clipping
For this test, look at the Clipping section in the
top
center.
In
each
of
the six
rectangles you should be able to see four darker square. The white clipping (labeled
"Y"
on
the middle left)
is
the most
important
to check,
but
clipping in any
of
the
six channels
is
bad.
Note
that
the leftmost square
is
just slightly darker
than
the
main
rectangle
and
can be
hard
to
see, especially
if
your
room isn't dark.
Put
a check
in
the row labeled,
"White
not
clipped"
if
the white
(Y)
portion
of
the
pattern
shows four visible darker squares.
Put
a check
in
the row labeled
"Chroma
not
clipped"
if
the
chroma
(Cb
and
Cr)
portions
of
the pattern show four visible darker squares each.
