The YE0165 is designed for evaluation the halftone reproduction of 16:9 electronic cameras. Two 11-graduated counter current gray scales are arranged on a gray background (D ≈ 0.56), the gray scale corresponds to the ITU recommendation BT.709.

The output signal of an optimally gamma-corrected camera according to BT.709 generates two counter current, linear step signals.

The contrast range of the gray scale is 40 : 1.

The values of the 11-graduated gray scale are as follows:

Step Density Remission in % Video signal for BT.709 in % Video signal for gamma 0.45 in %
1 0.05 89 100 100
2 0.13 74 91 92
3 0.22 60 82 84
4 0.32 48 73 75
5 0.43 37 64 67
6 0.56 28 55 59
7 0.70 20 46 51
8 0.88 13 37 43
9 1.08 8 28 35
10 1.34 5 19 26
11 1.64* 2 11 19

*The production process for reflective charts allow a maximum printed density of 1.64. The target value for the darkest step is 1.70. Therefore the distance of the last step differ slightly.

Two black fields and a white field are located between the gray scales. The density of the black fields in the middle is D > 3 (remission < 0.1 %), the white field between has a density of 0.05 (remission 89.9%).
Recommended usage:

Adjust the aperture until the lightest patch reaches 100% video signal at the waveform monitor. With an optimally corrected camera according to ITU recommendation BT.709 the darkest patch will reach 10% signal level.

When using this chart with a gamma correction of 0.45 the video signal level for each step will change as listed in the table above.

FAQs About  Grayscale Charts

Testing metamerism helps to identify color matches that look the same but are different in different lighting. This helps in ensuring that materials are of the same quality in all light settings.


A coating thickness gauge measures film layers by identifying shifts in magnetic flux, eddy currents, or ultrasonic echoes as they penetrate the coating. The gauge calculates thickness based on the magnitude of these signals. This universally accepted approach results in quick, reliable, and non-invasive measurements. 

Replace when the total hours exceed rated life, decrease in brightness, or the color temperature shifts beyond tolerance.


Powder paint gloss levels are classified as:

● Flat: 0–10 GU

● Satin: 11–40 GU

● Semi-gloss: 41–70 GU

● Gloss: 71–85 GU

● High Gloss: 86+ GU
 

These are measured at a 60° angle for standardization.


Compared to an analog model, digital gauges not only provide more accuracy, but also allow for greater repeatability and are easier to work with. Advanced digital gauges allow for features such as data storage and automatic calibration and statistical analysis. For these reasons, digital gauges are the preferred choice for professional applications.


a. It’s needed to perform manual calibration for NH300 when first starting.

b. In the subsequent starting, no need to perform manual calibration.

c. Suggestion: it’s best to perform manual calibration once a week or when NH300 measured data is not accurate.
