noticeable, then either using deep color (10 or 12 bits) assuming your source and content is compatible or
adding a high quality video processor like the DVDO iScan Duo is an excellent solution.
** Note: Grey ramp is only available if the output is set to YC
Solid colors
These patterns are normally used with a color meter and software to read specific color levels. IRE stands
for International Radio Engineers and it is a relative scale, NOT an absolute. It defines the volt peak
to peak video divided up into 140 IRE units. This is done to make numbers for luminance levels easier to
communicate. In the ISF Training Manual, it is described as the amplitude of the video signal from
blanking (zero volts) to peak white is 0.714286 volts or 100 IRE units. Synchronization signals extend
from blanking to -0.285714 volts or -40 IRE units.
Dynamic Patterns
These patterns are generated by a connected computer, normally a calibration software package like
CalMAN or Chromapure. A custom USB/Serial command
is used to precisely define the color as well as the size
of the window.
Note that the serial command (AF) accepts input in RGB
only and the output is set by the output settings on the
AVLab OSD (or serially controlled).
If the output setting is currently RGB, then a triplet of
16, 16, 16 (limited range black) would be sent to AVLab
as 0, 0, 0 (0% for each) and be output as 16, 16, 16 in
the center. If the output setting is YC, then the output
