Teleproduction Test is produced by Leader Instruments Corporation, a manufacturer of video, audio and industrial test instruments. Permission is
granted to reprint part or all of the contents provided a credit line is included listing the following:
rising at address (0005). By advancing the sample address you will see that Y reaches 3AC at
address (0019). See Fig. 4. What you have
observed in data is the rise time of the white
bar.
addresses range from 0000 to 0719. The chroma addresses are co-sited with the Y samples.
Note that the chroma addresses are half of the
address for Y. This particular snapshot for data
is near the end of the transition from the white
to the yellow bar. Y has reached 348, the correct Y value for yellow in 100% bars, but the
slower rise time of Cb and Cr have kept Cb and
Cr from reaching 040 and 249 at address 0049.
The next four pages present values for
100% and 75% color bars for both SD and HD
systems. Levels for decoded signals are given
in % (IRE), millivolts and Hex. The difference
between SD and HD values is the result of colorimetry differences between the two systems.
SD values are based on the SMPTE formula for
Y in use in the NTSC system:
Y = 29.9%R + 58.7%G + 11.4%B
Y for HD systems is calculated using the
formula given in SMPTE RP-177 and 274M:
Y = 21.26%R + 71.52%G + 7.22%B

Levels in % (IRE), millivolts and HEX for 75% color bars for SD (601) signals based on the formula
Y = 29.9%R + 58.7%G + 11.4%B.
HD Data
HD data is shown in a fashion similar to
SD. The levels used are the same, i.e. 40 is
black in hex for Y and 3AC is equivalent to
100%. The normal span of color signals ranges
from 40 to 3C0. Look back at Figs.1 and 2, and
the drawings on the previous pages. There are
some differences in presentation, however. See
Fig. 6 which shows data for a 1080i 59.94 signal in the SERIAL form on the LV 5152DA
(called LINE in the LV 5100D).
respectively. The next three, at addresses 16951697 are the CRC data words for the active
picture area of the field. For test signals, like
color bars, these numbers will not change with
data updates. However, the data words at
addresses 1698-1700 form the FF (full field)
CRCs, and these will be seen to change with
each data update if embedded audio has been
switched on at the generator. (The test tones
are not synched to video.
