HDR warm-up videos
Follow the display manufacturer’s operating and care instructions. Do not leave a display unattended with static or very bright test images; these videos do not replace model-specific warm-up guidance.
FF Pictures HDR warm-up videos contain test sequences for checking HDR displays and playback chains. Ask about current availability, price and usage terms.
The HDR warm-up videos can be used for:
- Observing an HDR display under changing pictures
- Identifying defective pixels
- Identifying burn-in effects
- Identifying brightness or colour non-uniformity across the image, such as clouding or mura
- Identifying transmission errors involving cables, repeaters, AV receivers and other components
- Running extended stress tests
The following test sequences are included in the download:
- Full-screen red, green, blue, black, grey and white sequences using DCI-P3 colours
- Full-screen red, green, blue, black, grey and white sequences using BT.2020 colours
- Moving zone-plate pattern with variable phase
- Pixel noise: a random pattern moving in different directions, distributed across the HDR luminance range
Technical details:
The videos use HEVC (H.265), 10-bit encoding and BT.2020, with the metadata required for HDR10. They were offered as MP4 downloads; current delivery terms are available on request. Depending on compatibility, the files can be played on modern HDR televisions or Ultra HD Blu-ray players.
The total running time is 40 minutes, with 10 minutes per video. We recommend using the Repeat function of the television or Ultra HD Blu-ray player to loop the videos.
