5.5.6.6.1 Color Bar Pattern

The color bar pattern comprises eight bars of the colors white, yellow, cyan, green, magenta, red, blue, and black.

Each color width is calculated by dividing the line pixel size (vertical pattern) or the number of lines (horizontal pattern) by eight. In Vertical Color Bar mode, each single color bar has a width equal to the number of pixels in a line divided by eight. If the number of pixels in a line is not divisible by eight, the last color (black) contains the remaining pixels. In Horizontal Color Bar mode, each color line has a width equal to the number of lines in a frame divided by eight. If the number of lines in a frame is not divisible by eight, the last color (black) contains the remaining lines.
