What is the name of that color test in video production with the beep?

Question

What is the name of those colour test screens at the beginning of videos? I've used it before in Final Cut Pro but I forget what it's called.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Never mind. Found the answer. It's called "Color Bars".

To be precise...

SMPTE Color Bars
SMPTE Bars are "split field" bars composed of:
**Frame Height (Approx)**       **Type of Bars**
Top 67%                     Standard EIA 75% amplitude white bars
Next 8%                     Reverse blue bars
Lower 25%                       Pluge signal

Also sometimes called a test card (famously the BBC one had a kid with a clown where the X on the board was approximately the centre of the screen)
