Following the downloads an area titled Steps To Use The Downloads explains the general process to create a playable disc. The HDMV and AVCHD versions are intended for playback on Blu-ray players, the MP4 version is compatible with many HD media players, and a Patterns Manual is included with recommendations for using the patterns. Further details for using the downloads to calibrate your digital display are covered in the Patterns Manual, and everyone is encouraged to download a copy of the basic instructions for using the patterns.ĭirectly below you will find the project downloads. The remaining sections are meant for taking measurements from the display, with a colorimeter or spectroradiometer, using software like ColorHCFR, CalMAN, or ChromaPure. The HDTV Calibration video by HD Nation in the HDMV and AVCHD versions can give new users some information on the most common display settings, or the Related Links can take MP4 users to the online episodes. The Basic Settings and Miscellaneous Patterns primarily focus on setting user controls for your electronics with no test equipment, except possibly a color filter. The Blu-ray related discs allow you to select sections from menus, and you can navigate the video clips in each section by chapter skipping. The patterns provided have been divided into sections for different tasks. This project does not address analog display (CRT) or audio calibration, which can be found on other sources such as Digital Video Essentials or Avia. Primarily we intend to offer HD video patterns for calibrating digital displays, such as current LCD, LED, Plasma, and DLP models.

709 encoded HD video, such as commercial Blu-rays. The AVS HD 709 patterns are meant only to calibrate for Rec.

These calibration patterns will not play on standard DVD players, and they are not expected to calibrate for Rec.


Users can burn the downloads to DVD media for some applications, but all of the download versions are intended only for HD players. You will find downloads here to create discs for Blu-ray and AVCHD players, a version with MP4 video for computers or other compatible devices, and a Patterns Manual with some basic instructions. This project aims to provide a free set of calibration patterns for high definition (HD) video players.
