Purity pattern
Purity offers eight different full field patterns:
Black, White (100% Y)
Primarycolors: Red,Green, Blue
Complementary colors: Magenta, Yellow, Cyan
P01:White
P02: Blue
P03:Red
P04: Magenta
P05:Green
P06:Cyan
P07:Yellow
P08:Black
Application
1. The red and green patterns are most frequently used for checking
color purity. The red pattern is selected only this color should be vis-
ible; the presence of any other color is an indication that color purity
needs adjustment.
2. The green pattern provides a purity check for three in-line tubes. In the
in-line tubes, the guns are in a horizontal position and the green gun is
located in the center.
3. The blue is the complementary colors are often used to check the
color performance.
4. The red are used to ensure that there is no interference between the
sound and chroma carrier. Furthermore the red pattern is used to ad-
just the longplay delay level to minimum flicker.
5. In addition to the primary and complementary colors 100% white can
be selec
ted as well as black pattern with color burst to check.

Application
This pattern is for brightnesscontrolandluminancewritingcurrent.Andthis
can overall the color performance, amplitude response/resolution and
linearity of chroma amplitude.
Color Bar
P13
Application
Comprises 8 vertical bars-White, Yellow, Cyan,
Green, Magenta, Red, Blue and Black
The white bar, to adjust the amplitude of the color difference signals with
respect to the luminance signal on the picture tube. The blue and green
guns can be switched off to allow the amplitude of the R-Y signal to be ad-
justed. This is done by ensuring that no difference in brightness is observed
between vertical bars five and six of the color bar and the horizontal refer-
ence bar. In a similar fashion, the amplitude of the B-Y demodulator can
be determined.

Grayscale
Full screen linear staircase signal with 8/16/32/64
identical steps from black to white
P14: 8 steps
P15: 16 steps
P16: 32 steps
P17:64steps
Application
This is used to locate faulty linearity of the video amplifier or greyscale set-
ting. Nonlinearities mainly result in a compression of the white level.

Application
Black-White Vertical
Full screen linear vertical bar signal with black/white
intervals of 1/6/12 pixels.
P18: 1 pixel
P19: 6 pixels
P20:12pixels
This pattern serves for a quick check of color monitor’s horizontal band-
width and phase behavior of a video transmission. Also, verify video ampli-
fier and color temperature.

P21: 1 pixel
P22: 3 pixels
P23:6pixels
This pattern serves for a quick check of color monitor’s vertical bandwidth
and phase behavior of a video transmission. Also, verify video amp lifi er and
color temperature.

P26: 1 pixel
P27: 3 pixels
P28: 6 pixels
P29:12pixels
Application
This pattern is mainly used for checking and aligning dynamic and corner
convergenceofTVsormonitors.
Running H
Fullscreen filled with lines of H characters, a new
P30 line of H will run from upper left corner and
fill down
when a line is completed.
Application
This is the special test for test/video motion
verification and refreshing rate.
Circle
P31
Application
Black circles on white background, 640x480 has 4 by
3 total 12 circles, 800x600 has 5 by 3 total 15 circles,
1024x768 has 6 by 4 total 24 circles,
It’s suited for checking the overall linearity and geometry of the screen of a
monitor or TV.
P32 Black/White Up/Down
Fullscreen filled with upper half of 100% white and
lower half of 100% black.
Application
This pattern is for brightness control and purity checking. Also, to do the
white setting and synchronization.

Application
P33: This pattern is used for a reflection check or for adjusting the VCR
video demodulator to a symmetrical black and white jump or opposite.
P34:Thispattern serves for a quick check of color monitor.
P35,P36: This pattern can be used to check the video handling capabilities
of most parts of a television system.
P37,P38: The wrong brightness setting on the monitor may cause other tests
such as Contrast, Focus and Beam Size to be invalid.
