Checking Chroma
/Luma Delay (Lightning Display)
10. Determine wher
e transitions intersect the
delay scales and derive the timing error
in nanoseconds, as deflected from the
center mark:
The center mar
k of the nine marks
spanning each green-magenta
transition is the zero error point.
Alignment to a mark towards black
means the col
or-difference signal
lags with respect to luma.
Alignment to a mark towards white
means the color-difference signal
leads the lu
ma signal.
The upper h
alf of the display
measures the Pb to Y timing; the
bottom half measures the Pr to Y
timing.
The + tic m
arks on the graticule indicate the following timing errors:
