Other timing measurements
Bar Rise Time: Measured
between the 10% and 90%
points on the leading edge of
bar. See element B2.
Amplitude and phase measurements
Sync Amplitude Error:
Measured as the difference
between the sampled sync
pulse amplitude and a nominal
300 mV amplitude. Result
expressed as a % of the nominal
300 mV. Sign is positive if the
sampled sync pulse amplitude
is greater than 300 mV.
Burst Amplitude Error:
Measured as the difference
between the sampled peak-to-
peak amplitude at the center of
burst and a nominal 300 mV
amplitude. Result expressed as
a % of the nominal 300 mV
amplitude. Sign is positive if
the sampled peak-to-peak burst
amplitude exceeds 300 mV.
Chrominance Reference
Amplitude Error: Measured as
the difference between the sam-
pled peak-to-peak amplitude of
the blanking-level chrominance
packet and the normalized
value (0.4 of the measured bar
amplitude). Result expressed as
% of the normalized value. Sign
is positive if the sampled peak-
to-peak amplitude exceeds 280
mV. See element D2 and CCIR
Recommendation 569.
Luminance Bar Amplitude
Error: Measured as the % devi-
ation of the sampled bar ampli-
tude from a nominal value of
700 mV. Sign is positive if the
sampled bar amplitude exceeds
700 mV. See element B2 and
CCIR Recommendation 569.
Luminance Bar Amplitude:
The absolute amplitude of sam-
pled bar. Result expressed as
mV and % of Carrier (if Carrier
is present). See element B2.
Bar Tilt Error: Measured as
the maximum departure of the
bar top from the sampled bar
amplitude at bar center, ex-
cluding the bar portion one
microsecond past the bar leading
edge half-amplitude point and
one microsecond before the bar
trailing edge half-amplitude
point. The sign of the difference
is always positive. Result
expressed as a % of sampled bar
amplitude. See element B2 and
CCIR Recommendation 567.
Blanking Level: Measured as
the mean level over 32 sampled
lines of 16 samples centered
around the back porch. Result
expressed as % of Carrier. Not
measured if Carrier not present
in the vertical interval.
2T Pulse K-factor: Measured as
the greatest weighted amplitude
of a positive-going or negative-
going echo-term half-wave
which is within one microsec-
ond before the 2T pulse leading
edge half-amplitude point or
within one microsecond after
the 2T pulse trailing edge
half-amplitude point. Result
expressed as a K-factor, which
is the ratio of the weighted
amplitude of the echo-term
half-wave to the sampled
amplitude of the 2T pulse.
The weighting is based on the
graticule shown in Figure 29a
of CCIR Recommendation 567.
