Q
- "Can I use this disc with a display that isn't
1920x1080 resolution?"
A
-
Yes. While almost all of the patterns and sequences on the
disc are created at full 1920x1080 resolution, you can do all
of the calibration steps with any display, including 720p.
Most of the patterns will be effectively unchanged. Some of
the patterns may look slightly different than they would on a
native 1080p display. For example, the highest-frequency
bursts in the luma bursts pattern will turn gray, which is
normal. You can still use the bursts pattern to compare
different modes of your player or display and see which is
producing the highest available resolution with the least
distortion.

- Yes. For more information on the blue filter please read our
article on

Q
- "Why do the dynamic range bars blink?"
A
- The bars on the dynamic range high and dynamic range low
patterns blink to make it easier to see the bars. As you get
closer to the point of clipping, the bars are more difficult
to see.

Q
- "Does this disc include audio test tones?"
A
- No. Every test disc we have tried has produced slightly
different results. Until we have done enough research, we do
not feel comfortable releasing audio test tones that are not
up to our standard.

Q
- "Is the disc encoded with a region code?"
A
- No. The disc can be played on a Blu-ray player in any region.
