Black Clipping -
This test pattern shows black level from code value 64
up to code value 156. Code value 64 is REFERENCE BLACK. Ideally you
can see code value 68 and greater while still preserving code value 64 as
black.
NOTE: Some consumer displays cannot resolve some of the bars above
64. This is due to the display’s limited capabilities.
White Clipping -
When viewing this pattern on a display you should be
able to see all of the white bars up to the display’s capabilities. For ex
-
ample if you are viewing this on a display that is only capable of 800nits
the last several bars will be clipped (look the same). If the display is
capable of 1,400nits or more you should see all of the bars.
Color Clipping -
When viewing this pattern on a display you should be
able to see a difference in all of the gradients in white and the primary/
secondary colors. This is based on the display’s limited capabilites.
NOTE: This test pattern was mastered with a maximium luminance of
10,000nits. If the display you are testing is only capable of 1,000nits,
everything after that will be clipped (look the same).
Indian Market -
This is an HDR reference test image. This can be used
as a confidence test to ensure that the display under test is displaying
HDR correctly. If the display is calibrated you should be able to see de-
tails in her hair, her skin tone should look natural, the colors of the food/
spices should look natural, and the entire image should be free of arti-
facts and edge enhancement.
