Philips circle pattern

</header>

The Philips circle pattern (also referred to as the Philips pattern or PTV Circle pattern) refers to a family of related electronically generated complex television station colour <a href="Test_card" title="Test card">test cards</a>. The content and layout of the original colour circle pattern was designed by <a href="Denmark" title="Denmark">Danish</a> engineer Finn Hendil (1939–2011)<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a> in the <a href="Philips" title="Philips">Philips</a> TV & Test Equipment laboratory in <a href="Amager" title="Amager">Amager</a> (moved to <a href="Br%C3%B8ndby_Municipality" title="Brøndby Municipality">Brøndby Municipality</a> in 1989) near <a href="Copenhagen" title="Copenhagen">Copenhagen</a> under supervision of <a href="Chief_engineer" title="Chief engineer">chief engineer</a> Erik Helmer Nielsen in 1966–67, largely building on their previous work with the monochrome <a href="Philips_PM5540" title="Philips PM5540">PM5540</a> pattern. The first piece of equipment, the PM5544 colour pattern generator,<a href="#cite_note-hendil1970-2">[2]</a> which generates the pattern, was made by Finn Hendil and his group in 1968–69.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> The same team would also develop the Spanish <a href="TVE_test_card" title="TVE test card">TVE colour test card</a> in 1973.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a>

Since the widespread introduction of the original PM5544 from the early-1970s, the Philips Pattern has become one of the most commonly used test cards, with only the <a href="SMPTE_color_bars" title="SMPTE color bars">SMPTE</a> and <a href="EBU_colour_bars" title="EBU colour bars">EBU colour bars</a> as well as the <a href="BBC" title="BBC">BBC</a>'s <a href="Test_Card_F" title="Test Card F">Test Card F</a> coming close to its usage.

The Philips circle pattern was later incorporated into other test pattern generators from Philips itself, as well as test pattern generators from various other manufacturers. Equipment from Philips and succeeding companies which generate the circle pattern are the PM5544, PM5534, PM5535, PM5644, PT5210, PT5230 and PT5300. Other related (non circle pattern) test card generators by Philips are the PM5400 (TV serviceman) family,<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> PM5515/16/18,<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> <a href="EBU_colour_bars#75%_Colour_Bars" title="EBU colour bars">PM5519</a>,<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> PM5520 (monochrome),<a href="#cite_note-auto2-10">[10]</a><a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> PM5522 (PAL),<a href="#cite_note-auto2-10">[10]</a> <a href="Philips_PM5540" title="Philips PM5540">PM5540</a> (<a href="Monochrome" title="Monochrome">monochrome</a>), PM5547,<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> PM5552 and PM5631.

Rather than previous <a href="Test_card" title="Test card">test card</a> approaches that worked by a live camera or <a href="Monoscope" title="Monoscope">monoscope</a> filming a printed card, the Philips PM5544 generates the test patterns fully using electronic circuits, with separate paths for <a href="YUV" class="mw-redirect" title="YUV">Y</a>, <a href="PAL#Colorimetry" title="PAL">R-Y</a> and <a href="PAL#Colorimetry" title="PAL">B-Y</a> colour components<a href="#cite_note-hendil1970-2">[2]</a> (<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="{\displaystyle Y'UV}">

In simple terms, the displayed pattern provides reference levels of black, white and colour saturation, to which a receiver can be set. Displayed image geometry (image centering, correct proportions of the circle, etc.) can also be corrected. More technical adjustments are also possible.

Main technical features of the test card:

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="4:3_(original)">4:3 (original)</h3></div>

While the basic specifications of the pattern normally remain consistent, there are often small variations depending on the brand and type of generator used to produce it, as well as how the broadcaster has chosen to configure it. Some television stations have included a digital clock and/or date, as well as the <a href="Station_identification" title="Station identification">station logo</a> or ID, inside the circle. This practice was common in <a href="Asia" title="Asia">Asia</a> and some parts of <a href="Europe" title="Europe">Europe</a>, as well as in <a href="South_Africa" title="South Africa">South Africa</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="SECAM">SECAM</h4></div>

The Philips circle pattern is geared towards the <a href="PAL" title="PAL">PAL</a> colour-coding system, but <a href="SECAM" title="SECAM">SECAM</a> versions do exist (for example, it was used by <a href="Telewizja_Polska" title="Telewizja Polska">TVP</a> in <a href="Poland" title="Poland">Poland</a>, <a href="Magyar_Telev%C3%ADzi%C3%B3" title="Magyar Televízió">MTV</a> in <a href="Hungary" title="Hungary">Hungary</a> and <a href="TDF_Group" title="TDF Group">TDF</a> in <a href="France" title="France">France</a>, without side bars, as well as <a href="Hellenic_Broadcasting_Corporation" title="Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation">ERT</a> in <a href="Greece" title="Greece">Greece</a>, <a href="Vietnam_Television" title="Vietnam Television">VTV</a> in <a href="Vietnam" title="Vietnam">Vietnam</a> and <a href="T%C3%A9l%C3%A9_Sahel" title="Télé Sahel">Télé Sahel</a> in <a href="Niger" title="Niger">Niger</a>, with side bars). The most obvious difference is the absence of PAL specific test features (to two normally invisible outmost vertical bars). Less noticeable is the change to the multiburst gratings, instead at 0.8, 1.8, 2.8, 1.8 and 0.8 MHz due to the lower luminance bandwidth in the SECAM system.

Likewise, there are 525-lines <a href="NTSC" title="NTSC">NTSC</a> versions of the pattern. One of the NTSC variants, used in <a href="Philippines" title="Philippines">Philippines</a>, <a href="Taiwan" title="Taiwan">Taiwan</a>, <a href="Haiti" title="Haiti">Haiti</a> and <a href="Japan" title="Japan">Japan</a> (by <a href="NHK" title="NHK">NHK</a>, with the multiburst gratings slightly modified for <a href="NTSC-J" title="NTSC-J">NTSC-J</a>), has a modified square wave near the top of the circle at 300 kHz and the multiburst gratings at 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 MHz. (<a href="WNYW" title="WNYW">WNYW</a>'s configuration simply removed the side colour bars.) A second variation, used by <a href="CBMT-DT" title="CBMT-DT">CBC Montreal</a> in <a href="Quebec" title="Quebec">Quebec</a>, <a href="Canada" title="Canada">Canada</a>, had different gratings and added extra colour bars.

In addition to the 525-line NTSC pattern, a <a href="PAL-M" title="PAL-M">PAL-M</a> version of the pattern was also offered for the <a href="Brazil" title="Brazil">Brazilian</a> market. Although no public transmissions are known to exist as of August 2025, the pattern is identical to NTSC but also includes achromatic fields adjacent to the side bars.

Though as of August 2025 no surviving equipment or captures/recordings are known, a version of the pattern existed for the <a href="PAL#PAL-N_(Argentina,_Paraguay_and_Uruguay)" title="PAL">PAL-N</a> system. It is expected to resemble the PAL-B/G pattern however with the gratings of the NTSC version.

Test card G was a quasi-Philips pattern developed by the BBC.<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a><a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a> It is realised by the physical modification of standard PM5544 generators and differs from the original as follows:

<ul><li>Colour bar saturation - 95% (changed from 75%)</li>

<li>Colour bar contrast - 75% (changed from 100%)</li>

<li>Colour bar set-up - 25% (changed from 0%)</li>

<li>Multiburst gratings (see PAL-I listing above)</li>

<li>Multiburst amplitude - 71.4% (changed from 100%)</li></ul>

The above specifications were incorporated back into standard Philips generators such as the PM5534I/00<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> and the PM5644I/00.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="16:9_(widescreen)">16:9 (widescreen)</h3></div>

The widescreen version of the Philips circle pattern was designed in 1991. It was only known to be used in PAL regions and retains the signals present in the original, and features additional signals to test signal and picture quality, including <a href="Television_lines" title="Television lines">Television lines</a> resolution, corner circles and correct <a href="Overscan" title="Overscan">overscan</a> and image centering.

Several different types of hardware are known to generate it, including the PM5644 (widescreen versions only), PT5230 and PT5300 (with appropriate pattern generator modules installed) and the PM5420.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a>

There are two major variations of the 16:9 circle pattern. The original 1991 pattern contains high frequency components which were useful for testing widescreen televisions in factories, specifically 450/400 TVL diagonal lines and a sixth 5.8 MHz grating. This however made it sub-optimum for public broadcasts as these exceeded the bandwidth of most PAL transmission systems. All pattern components of the PT5230/PT5300 were within the bandwidth of PAL B/G.

Widescreen circle patterns were used by broadcasters such as <a href="RAI" title="RAI">RAI</a> (<a href="Italy" title="Italy">Italy</a>),<a href="#cite_note-auto-20">[20]</a> <a href="Vlaamse_Radio-_en_Televisieomroep" class="mw-redirect" title="Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroep">BRT</a> (<a href="Belgium" title="Belgium">Belgium</a>),<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a><a href="#cite_note-auto-20">[20]</a><a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> <a href="RTL-TVI" title="RTL-TVI">RTL-TVI</a> (Belgium/<a href="Luxembourg" title="Luxembourg">Luxembourg</a>),<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> <a href="NPO_3" title="NPO 3">Ned3</a> (<a href="Netherlands" title="Netherlands">Netherlands</a>),<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a> <a href="Televisi%C3%B3n_Espa%C3%B1ola" title="Televisión Española">TVE</a> (<a href="Spain" title="Spain">Spain</a>) and <a href="Kalaallit_Nunaata_Radioa" title="Kalaallit Nunaata Radioa">KNR TV</a> (<a href="Greenland" title="Greenland">Greenland</a>).<a href="#cite_note-auto3-25">[25]</a>

Although no public transmissions are known to exist as of August 2025, an NTSC widescreen version of the PM5644 and later models were available.<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="High_definition">High definition</h3></div>

An HD (1080p) version of the Philips circle pattern was developed for the PT5300 via the PT8612 HD Signal Generator add-on. It was never formally integrated into the PT8612 thus was not offered for sale.<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a>

A 1250 line <a href="Analog_high-definition_television_system" class="mw-redirect" title="Analog high-definition television system">HD-MAC</a> version of the Philips circle pattern also exists.

Starting from the 1980s, <a href="China_Central_Television" title="China Central Television">China Central Television</a> and some provincial mainland Chinese broadcasters began using a heavily modified version of the PM5544 called the GB2097 inspection chart.<a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a><a href="#cite_note-34">[34]</a><a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a><a href="#cite_note-36">[36]</a><a href="#cite_note-央视GB2097测试卡曲目1-37">[37]</a><a href="#cite_note-PM5544款GB2097测试卡-38">[38]</a> Later, another modification, anecdotally called PM5549 (the Philips PM5549 was an unrelated product)<a href="#cite_note-39">[39]</a> began to be used at the <a href="Cable_television_headend" title="Cable television headend">headends</a> of some mainland Chinese cable television providers.<a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a><a href="#cite_note-41">[41]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Physical_equipment">Physical equipment</h2></div>

The design of the original PM5544 is fairly complicated, with an array of analogue signal generators generating each component of the pattern continuously. Digital circuitry is used to sequence the outputs from each module into the final pattern. The circle is internally generated as a square and cropped according to coordinates defined in a 264x252 grid defining half of the circle.

The original used <a href="Magnetic_core" title="Magnetic core">magnetic core</a> to store data for the circle, essentially a very small core rope memory. Suitable ROM chips were not available at the time. Four-fold symmetry was used to minimise the memory requirements. Later versions replaced the core with ROM.

The original PM5544 was not capable of generating a composite video signal by itself. At the time it was introduced three additional pieces of equipment were required:

<ul><li>a PM5554 PAL colour encoder,</li>

<li>a PM5555 PAL subcarrier generator,</li>

<li>a PM5530 sync generator.</li></ul>

Over the years the physical implementation of this supporting equipment was refined, with later PM5544's only requiring two extra pieces of equipment:<a href="#cite_note-42">[42]</a>

<ul><li>a PM5545 colour encoder,</li>

<li>a PM5532 sync generator,</li></ul>

Eventually all the supporting equipment could be replaced by a PM5638 which fitted into a single <a href="Rack_unit" title="Rack unit">1RU</a> unit.<a href="#cite_note-43">[43]</a>

The physical configuration of the PM5544 depends upon its purpose. A common application was in TV factories where it was typically used in its most basic configuration with no optional extras. When used for broadcasting it was usually fitted with the PM5543 text generator which allowed broadcasters to display text in the upper and lower black boxes.<a href="#cite_note-44">[44]</a>

It was available in 4 versions (PAL-G, PAL-M, PAL-N & NTSC) and did not have the option of an in-pattern clock (first introduced in PM5534).<a href="#cite_note-45">[45]</a>

</ul>

In the late-1970s, Philips introduced the PM5534 which replaced the original PM5544. It was fundamentally a very similar design<a href="#cite_note-46">[46]</a> using a mixture of analogue and digital circuitry to generate the pattern, however it no longer required an external sync generator and colour encoder, reducing the rack footprint from <a href="Rack_unit" title="Rack unit">6RU/12RU</a> to <a href="Rack_unit" title="Rack unit">3RU</a>.

The PM5534 was available as a variant with component video outputs (PM5535) and had two pattern effecting options: PM8503 text generator (station ID) and the PM8504 clock generator.<a href="#cite_note-47">[47]</a>

The PM5534 was available in 6 different versions: PAL-G, PAL-I, PAL-M, PAL-N, SECAM and NTSC.<a href="#cite_note-48">[48]</a>

</li>

<div class="gallerytext">Philips PM5534 generator with top lid opened.</div>

</li>

</ul>

Some time during the late-1980s Philips introduced a new design of colour pattern generator bearing the model number PM5644. The PM5644 further improves upon the PM5534 by reducing the overall size to just <a href="Rack_unit" title="Rack unit">1RU</a>.

It also differs from the previous PM5544 and PM5534 in that its pattern generating circuitry is entirely digital, stored in <a href="EPROM" title="EPROM">EPROM</a> chips allowing easy customisation of patterns. The PM5644 (and later generators) patterns' were compiled using an array of in-house tools defined by vectors in <a href="MS-DOS" title="MS-DOS">MS-DOS</a> <a href="Batch_file" title="Batch file">batch files</a>.<a href="#cite_note-49">[49]</a>

</li>

<div class="gallerytext">PM5644/85 (PALplus).</div>

</li>

</ul>

Many variations of the PM5644 are known to exist, each with different purposes and capabilities:

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="4:3_models">4:3 models</h4></div>

The earliest design shares the chassis and the sync module with the PM5631 colour generator and has 576 KB of pattern <a href="Read-only_memory" title="Read-only memory">ROM</a> (can be increased to 4.5 MB for multiple / more complex patterns). The pattern produced by these units is nearly identical to the PM5544. Differences are typically a result of design constraints of the hardware or software generating the test cards.

Variations exist for every video standard: PM5644G/00 (PAL-B/G), PM5644I/00 (PAL-I), PM5644M/00 (NTSC), PM5644L/00 (SECAM), PM5644P/00 (PAL-M), PM5644N/00 (PAL-N). This model is able to replace every type of PM55xx pattern generator.<a href="#cite_note-auto4-50">[50]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Indian_head_model(s)">Indian head model(s)</h4></div>

A variant generating a 625 line version of the “<a href="Indian-head_test_pattern" title="Indian-head test pattern">Indian head</a>” pattern is known to exist.<a href="#cite_note-51">[51]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="FuBK_models">FuBK models</h4></div>

Two variations bearing the model numbers PM5644G/50 (<a href="CCIR_System_B" title="CCIR System B">PAL B</a>/<a href="CCIR_System_G" title="CCIR System G">G</a>) and PM5644G/70 (<a href="YCbCr" title="YCbCr">YCbCr</a>) were available programmed with the <a href="Telefunken_FuBK" title="Telefunken FuBK">FuBK</a> pattern.<a href="#cite_note-52">[52]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="16:9_models">16:9 models</h4></div>

The earliest known PM5644 16:9 hardware is the PM5644G/90 and PM5644G/924 which use the same chassis and PCB as the 4:3 models, however, both are programmed with the well-known 16:9 circle pattern alongside several other simple patterns. They generate an <a href="Anamorphic_format" title="Anamorphic format">anamorphic</a> signal but do not support <a href="PALplus" title="PALplus">PALplus</a> encoding.

The last known design has controls and a display on the front panel and is labelled PM5644 PALplus test pattern generator and bears the model number PM5644/85.<a href="#cite_note-53">[53]</a> No other variations of this hardware are presently known. This design also generates the well known 16:9 colour circle pattern but unlike the previously mentioned G/90 and G/924 models, it is capable of encoding a <a href="PALplus" title="PALplus">PALplus</a> signal. It also is capable of generating the 4:3 pattern of the original PM5544.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Custom_models">Custom models</h4></div>

The original PM5644 was accompanied by a service offered by Philips whereby customers could have the pattern customised.<a href="#cite_note-54">[54]</a> The most common type of pattern modification was a simple logo inserted in-place of the top station ID box.<a href="#cite_note-55">[55]</a> These models usually carry a three digit model suffix starting with '9' i.e. PM5644/9xx.

An HD version of the PM5644 is known to have existed. No surviving documentation or physical specimens are known. Aside from references to it in manuals for other products,<a href="#cite_note-56">[56]</a> as of August 2025 the exact specifications and purpose of it remain unknown. Schematic sheets kept by DK-Technologies reveal a digital <a href="Emitter-coupled_logic" title="Emitter-coupled logic">ECL</a> output and 3 analogue outputs with each channel capable of up to approximately 35 MHz of bandwidth.<a href="#cite_note-57">[57]</a>

In the mid-1990s Philips completed their final VITS generator/inserter, the PM5655. Some versions of it have been found<a href="#cite_note-58">[58]</a> which generate both Philips and FuBK patterns (4:3 and 16:9). It is not presently publicly known if this is standard or special functionality. Appearance of text is significantly different to the PM5644 and from experimentation with physical equipment it is considered likely to be responsible for at least one public transmission (from <a href="NPO_3" title="NPO 3">Nederland 3</a> in the Netherlands), which was able to be exactly recreated.<a href="#cite_note-59">[59]</a><a href="#cite_note-60">[60]</a>

<div class="gallerytext">PM5655 VITS Inserter. Sold after January 23, 1998 thus branded ProTeleVision (see below).</div>

</ul>

Around 1997 with the PM5644 nearing end of life, Philips began work on the final generation of hardware that would generate the circle pattern. The first in this series was the PT5210, which through the PT8601 analogue pattern generator module, was able to generate a single complex pattern however only by special order. At least one circle pattern configuration is known.<a href="#cite_note-61">[61]</a><a href="#cite_note-62">[62]</a>

Around this time Philips exited the TV test equipment business, with the lab that developed these products independently incorporated as ProTeleVision Technologies A/S.<a href="#cite_note-63">[63]</a> All products were immediately rebranded ProTeleVision.

The PT5230 was the first to exclusively carry the new brand and included an enhanced analogue pattern generator option – the PT8631, which was able to generate all Philips (NTSC and PAL) and FuBK patterns in both 4:3 and 16:9 in a single configuration.<a href="#cite_note-64">[64]</a> Like its predecessor (the PM5644), customer specific patterns were offered.<a href="#cite_note-65">[65]</a>

In 2001, shortly after the release of the PT5230, said product line was further divested to DK-Audio A/S (also based in Copenhagen, Denmark at the time). Other pattern generator products not included in the sale, but still under warranty or with active support plans such as the PM5644 and PM5534 were abandoned by ProTeleVision to be fulfilled by Arepa Test & Calibration. ProTeleVision became the current ProTelevision Technologies (lowercase 'V') shortly thereafter signifying a shift exclusively to digital transmission products.<a href="#cite_note-66">[66]</a>

DK-Audio (also known as DK-Technologies) subsequently released the PT5300, which superseded the PT5230, accepting all of its pattern generator modules and included many new options and features developed by DK-Audio. It was the last physical pattern generator directly descending from the original PM5544 to generate the Philips circle pattern.

SECAM was not supported by any models from this series, leaving the PM5644L as the last SECAM variant.
