Characterization
Manual Characterization
Use the Manual Characterization Assistant to characterize a display, such as
a digital projector or HD/SD display. Patches for use in characterizing HD/SD
displays and digital projectors are available on the KODAK Display Manager
System CD in the Images/Patches folder. The patches can also be displayed
from one of the following KODAK Video Tapes:
• KODAK Display Manager Dual-Length Color Patch Set / D5-HD Tape
#D5C63M, 1080i/50
• KODAK Display Manager Dual-Length Color Patch Set / D5-HD Tape

#BCT-64HD, 1080i/50

The tapes contain 15 sec. patches for use with SEQUEL and X-RITE sensors
and 40 sec. patches for use with the PHOTO RESEARCH PR-650 and
MINOLTA CS-100A sensors. A slate indicates the start of each patch set.
NOTES:
• If you use a KODAK video tape for manual characterization, the
measurements may be automatically entered into the Manual
Characterization Assistant (depending on the device you are using).
• When manually characterizing, you can create and save characterization
templates containing set patches and then load these templates as
needed.
• You can also load a .chr file into the Assistant, if you want to confirm
measurements on a set of patches, or to view data from a previous
characterization.
• If you stop the characterization process before reading all of the color
patches, save your work by going to File > Save Interim
Characterization File. When you restart your work, load this file by going
to File > Load Interim Characterization File.
