5. Video signal shading
Set to standard imaging condition III. With the lens diaphragm at F5.6 to F8, adjust the luminous intensity
so that the average value of the Y signal output is 200mV. Then measure the maximum (Ymax [mV]) and
minimum (Ymin [mV]) values of the Y signal and substitute the values into the following formula.
SHy = (Ymax – Ymin)/200 × 100 [%]
6. Uniformity between video signal channels
Set to standard imaging condition II. Adjust the luminous intensity so that the average value of the Y signal
output is 200mV, and then measure the maximum (Crmax, Cbmax [mV]) and minimum (Crmin, Cbmin
[mV]) values of the R – Y and B – Y channels of the chroma signal and substitute the values into the
following formula.
∆Sr = | (Crmax – Crmin)/200 | × 100 [%]
∆Sb = | (Cbmax – Cbmin)/200 | × 100 [%]
7. Dark signal
Measure the average value of the Y signal output (Ydt [mV]) with the device ambient temperature 60°C and
the device in the light-obstructed state, using the horizontal idle transfer level as a reference.
8. Dark signal shading
After measuring 7, measure the maximum (Ydmax [mV]) and minimum (Ydmin [mV]) values of the Y signal
output and substitute the values into the following formula.
∆Ydt = Ydmax – Ydmin [mV]
9. Flicker
1) Fy
Set to standard imaging condition II. Adjust the luminous intensity so that the average value of the Y signal
output is 200mV, and then measure the difference in the signal level between fields (∆Yf [mV]). Then
substitute the value into the following formula.
Fy = (∆Yf/200) × 100 [%]
2) Fcr, Fcb
Set to standard imaging condition II. Adjust the luminous intensity so that the average value of the Y signal
output is 200mV, insert an R or B filter, and then measure both the difference in the signal level between
fields of the chroma signal (∆Cr, ∆Cb) as well as the average value of the chroma signal output (CAr, CAb).
Substitute the values into the following formula.
Fci = (∆Ci/CAi) × 100 [%] (i = r, b)
