ANSI/EIA-189-A, Encoded Color<br />

Bar Signal (formerly denoted<br />

EIA RS-189-A).<br />

SMPTE EG 1, Alignment Color Bar<br />

Test Signal for Television Picture<br />

Monitors.<br />

Pronounced ploodge.<br />

Figure 45.1 SMPTE EG 1<br />

colorbar test signal is represented<br />

here as an image;<br />

however, it is standardized as<br />

a signal in the R’G’B’ domain.<br />

Its color interpretation<br />

depends upon the primary<br />

chromaticities in use; the<br />

corresponding Y’C B C R or<br />

Y’P B P R waveforms depend<br />

upon luma coefficients and<br />

scaling.<br />

This chapter summarizes the principal test signals used<br />

for testing 480i and 576i video systems.<br />

Colorbars<br />

Figure 45.1 below is a sketch of the image produced by<br />

the classic SMPTE colorbar test pattern. The upper 2 ⁄3<br />

of the image contains a 100% white bar followed by<br />

primary and secondary colors of 75% saturation. The<br />

narrow, central region contains “reverse bars” interleaved<br />

with black; this section is used to set decoder<br />

hue and saturation. The bottom 1 ⁄4 of the image<br />

contains subcarrier frequency at -I phase, a white bar,<br />

subcarrier frequency at +Q phase, and (at the right) the<br />

PLUGE element, which I will describe in a moment.<br />
