Blu-ray Disc test patterns (for paidgeek/SPHE)

[Uxi]

At paidgeek's invitation, let's poll the members of Blu-ray.com on what features we'd like added to the update of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment's calibration "Easter egg"

They really need to put some instruction on how to adjust HDTV according to the BD test patterns.

As I said alread in paidgeeks insider thread,the most important thing is NOT to hide the patterns as easter eggs. My Sharp player is not able to play them using the number combination. Just put them in the menu.

Definately detailed instructions on each test pattern please.

I would like to see everything, and I selected other not as a test, but have a next button so we can have the time to adjust out TV instead of a timed cycle through.

[andyparhelia]

instructions would be great for each test pattern.

I could live without the saturation, hue and sharpness stuff as any real HD Monitor will not let you adjust these for a HDMI source or even HD component.

I would add some type of grey scale pattern,.. split bars should be enough just for reference because most display types don't give you much control over that anyway.

Some overscan pattern like the one on the rat(somthing) Blu Ray disc would be nice.

The thing I would really like is a brighness pattern without high Average Picture Level but that's just becuase my older (CRT FP) display device needs that. Most people don't have a display like mine though so you can ignore this one.


Actually,. the easter egg is pretty good as it stands. It's got most of what the end user would want to do. Anyone wanting more could seek a calibration disc. I believe Digital Video Essentials is going to be on Blu Ray at some point.

But everything should have instructions.

You know what? I'm getting DVE in March (or whenever it comes out on Blu.) It's likely that I won't need anything after that. I say, spend more time releasing good movies with great special features.

Many of these could be duplicated in combos (HDNet's comes to mind).
