PulseBar

11.140.1 Description
This image is intended for TV formats, but can be displayed with any format up to 100
MHz. The image looks like two vertical lines followed by a wide vertical bar on a display's screen. The first line is a
sine-squared modulated pulse that fades from black to red and back to black. The pulse is 20 T for PAL and 12.5 T
for NTSC formats. The second narrower line is a 2 T white sine-squared pulse. T = 100 nSec for PAL and 125
nSec for NTSC formats. The wide bar is white with sine-squared edges.
11.140.2 Test
Video system testing.
This multi-purpose pattern can be used with other instruments to check television K factors. The modulated pulse
can be used to check chrominance-to-luminance delay and gain. The narrow white line can be used to measure
short term linear distortion (K2T).
