Background Y = 0% Y = 7.5 IRE
Bar 1: ultra black
Bar 2: dark grey
Y = -1.6%
Y = +1.6%
Y = 4.8 IRE
Y = 10.7 IRE
Bar 3: 4 squares:
white Y = 100% Y = 100 IRE
1st grey Y = 64.3% Y = 67 IRE
2nd grey Y = 28.6% Y = 33.9 IRE
3rd grey Y = 15.7% Y = 22 IRE
Applications:
PLUGE is used to perform accurate and consistent
line-up of picture monitors. The usual procedure is to
adjust the brightness control of a monitor so that bar 1
is invisible on the background while bar 2 can be still
distinguished. The white level luminance is mainly
adjusted by the contrast control to 70
±
10 cd/m

by
means of the upper 100% white area of the vertical
greyscale.
