Why is there only the cross hatch pattern available in the high definition modes?
Cost and ease of use are the main reasons. Plus, you actually only need cross hatch in those modes. Since the component outputs function in all modes, you can check the color in the “480i” modes. The HD set will operate in the 480i mode, allowing the colorbars, gray scale and full field colors to be displayed. In the high definition modes, you only need the cross hatch. You can check the convergence and and raster centering . The cross hatch pattern has centering marks. Back to Top How can I check the gray scale with the component outputs You can drive the HD set with the component outputs in the “480i” mode. To check the gray scale, we recommend that you connect only the Y signal. This will force the set into a monochrome mode. Keep in mind that you may have to connect the Yr cable to the HD set. While you do not need to connect it to the Checker TVHD, the set may only switch to the HD mode if there is a connector in the Yr jack.
