ABSTRACT:
A method for automatically finding color bars within a television video signal checks for a black burst at the end of a horizontal video line to determine the appropriate color bar standard for testing. Then a reference color burst, such as the yellow color burst, is searched for in the appropriate location within the horizontal line. Related color burst locations are demodulated to produce related color angles which are checked for relationship with the reference color burst. Also the luminance amplitudes for each color burst are compared to each other to determine whether a correct amplitude relationship is present. Each horizontal line of a picture frame is tested until either the color bars are found or all the horizontal lines have been tested. The found color bars are displayed in an appropriate format together with the line number within the picture frame, or a message indicating no color bars is displayed.
