11 Step Grayscale Test Chart Gray Scale Card with Transmissive and Reflective Types for 240x180mm Camera Calibration
11 Step Grayscale Test Chart
,Transmissive Grayscale Test Chart
,Reflective Gray Scale Card
The 11-Step Grayscale Card is a professional imaging testing tool primarily used to evaluate the grayscale reproduction capability of cameras. It assesses the fineness of an image's light and dark levels through 11 distinct brightness levels ranging from pure white to pure black. The common NHK standard gamma value is 0.45. The card can also be equipped with blue, yellow, and red color blocks to assist in testing color saturation.
| Card Types | Transmissive and reflective |
|---|---|
| Effective Size | 240 × 180 mm (mainstream); some models compatible with 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratios |
| Grayscale Distribution | Logarithmic scale distribution of transmittance / reflectance |
| Contrast Range | Up to 40:1 |
| Compliance | Conforms to industry standards such as ITU BT.709 |
| Signal Output | Enables cameras with standard gamma correction to output linear step signals |
The 11-step grayscale card is designed to test key imaging parameters, including:
- Camera metering accuracy
- Camera gamma characteristics
- White balance
- Dynamic range
It is widely applied in factory calibration and performance testing scenarios for surveillance equipment as well as photographic and video equipment.
