Horizontal Staircase (H_Stair) 

 

Pattern Description

: 

Eleven equal-width horizontal bars step from 100 IRE white at the top of the pattern to black at 
the bottom (7.5 IRE for NTSC, 0 IRE for all other formats), forming a horizontal staircase. 
 

Pattern Usage

: 

The H_Stair pattern is useful for visually checking 
gray-scale tracking performance of a display, 
especially a projector with red and blue overdrive 
at the sides of the display, due to insufficient 
correction for CRT side-to-side placement (with 
green in the center). Poor grayscale tracking 
performance is seen as a primary color tint (red, 
green, or blue), at the bright top or dark bottom of 
the pattern. To avoid the effects of color overdrive 
at the sides of the display when checking 
grayscale tracking, observe the top-to-bottom 
center of the display. To check the effects of color 
overdrive at the sides of the display, observe by eye or use a color analyzer to check the color at 
the left, center, and right end of one horizontal bar. 
 
 
 

Linearity 

 

Pattern Description

: 

Linearity is a combination pattern including circles and lines on a black raster background. The 
pattern includes circles in each corner and two circles positioned in the center. A large center 
circle extends to the top and bottom of the pattern. Crosshatch lines form 16 squares horizontally 
and 12 squares vertically and properly shaped circles on a display in a 4:3 aspect ratio. When 
viewed on a display in a 16:9 aspect ratio, the pattern appears stretched horizontally. 

 
Pattern Usage

: 

Use the linearity pattern for deflection linearity 
testing and alignments. Use to set geometry 
controls on displays. Use for color convergence 
adjustments.
