Stacey Spears and Don Munsil,
who created the highly-regarded DVD Player Benchmark™ and
Progressive Scan Shootout at Secrets of Home Theater and High
Fidelity®, have applied all their technical wizardry to this Blu-ray
test and evaluation disc. "The test patterns on this disc
represent the current state-of-the-art. They are cleaner and more
accurate than the test patterns found on previous discs. There are
a lot of subtle details that go into making them as mathematically
perfect as possible, especially to ensure that they retain all
their precision after lossy encoding. We have built proprietary
tools to generate patterns and a custom encoder that preserves
much more detail. Even ordinary patterns like color bars have
unique traits that make them cleaner." - Stacey Spears,
co-creator. |
