In the old days of analog, vertical chroma alignment was never a problem. And it allows you to check both vertical and horizontal alignment. ItвЂ™s easy to see an offset of as little as a quarter-pixel, which we think is a first. вЂњIt allows you to quickly tell if the chroma channel is aligned properly with the luma channel. вЂњWeвЂ™re especially proud of our Chroma Alignment pattern,вЂќ he added.

вЂњChroma patterns are especially tricky, because you canвЂ™t create them properly with full dynamic rangeВ in the RGB space thatВ most image-processing software uses.вЂќ ThatвЂ™s the only way to minimize artifacts and preserve all of the detail and bandwidth,вЂќ said co-creator Don Munsil. вЂњOur proprietary software generates the patterns in the native color space of Blu-ray, without any unnecessary color space conversions or rounding. AДЎwhole suite of chroma-channel evaluation patterns make it easy to evaluate chroma reproduction separately from luma.

The cropping pattern instantly shows how much of the 1080p image is being cropped by the player and/or display. A clipping pattern makes it easy to see whether the display is reproducing the highlights or shadows properly. The disc includes patterns not seen on other discs, and new twists on old favorites.

вЂњEverythingВ was created and encoded entirely by us, with no compromises on quality.вЂќ We didnвЂ™t make our disc by encoding patterns from an off-the-shelf pattern generator,вЂќ said co-creator Stacey Spears. вЂњWeВ developed our own pattern software so weВ could makeВ patterns for ourselves for evaluation and calibration. The High Definition Benchmark uses all-new patterns created from scratch. This disc is filled with test material and calibration patterns to help home theater enthusiasts evaluate displays and players andВ adjust their home theater systems to get the best possible picture.
