  • Page 23 RGB Triplet Screen Test Patterns and Usage The Murideo SIX-G has three types of test patterns: 1. Visual test patterns which can be used to roughly set display parameters and check performance and calibration by eye. Ex. White PLUGE, Black PLUGE, Geometry, Color Girls, etc.
  • Page 24 Page 24 of 45 Contrast – ISF White PLUGE This pattern is designed for setting peak white level using the Contrast control. The goal is to get Contrast set as high as possible without clipping the brightest whites and colors. All of the numbered white boxes should be visible and distinct from the surrounding background up to at least 250d, the top two or three boxes may be difficult to distinguish from the background unless you are in a dark room with your eyes fully adjusted to the ambient level.
  • Page 25 Page 25 of 45 This pattern is designed for setting black level using the Brightness control. First turn up Brightness black level is clearly elevated and boxes below 16 are visible. Then turn Brightness down until box 16 matches the background. Once 16 blends into the background box 17 and above will be visible.
  • Page 26 Page 26 of 45 Adjust Color so the blue and white boxes match. Adjust Tint so the magenta and cyan boxes match. You may need to go back and forth between the two controls to get both sets of boxes to match.
  • Page 27 Page 27 of 45 Sharpness& Geometry – ISF Geometry Pattern This pattern is used to set the Sharpness control. This control should be set while seated in the normal viewing location. In general, you would like Sharpness to be set to the highest level that doesn’t produce distracting visual artifacts. When Sharpness is correct, you should not see ripples near any of the lines in the image.
  • Page 28 Page 28 of 45 This pattern is used to choose a basic Color Temperature mode, for displays that have selectable color temperature. Without special test equipment, it is impossible to set this perfectly, but it is possible to avoid obviously incorrect settings. The goal is to get the pattern to look like neutral white and gray with no obvious color tint.

Color spaces can include 4:2:2 YCbCr, 4:4:4 YCbCr, 4:4:4 RGB, and possibly others. While viewing this pattern, select in turn the different color spaces, watching for problems.
