Golden Thread System – Targets and Software

The GoldenThread System includes two “Gold Standard” quality targets that incorporate all the necessary features to specify and assess the quality of your imaging system, including:

GoldenThread is compatible with all Windows version from XP up to Windows10. ISA does not recommend running it on Vista though because of numerous security hurdles.

We have both 32 and 64-bit versions and recommend having at least 6 Gbytes of RAM onboard because images are now becoming larger.

Many users (including ISA) run it on a Mac using either a Fusion or Parallels emulators. While these solutions were clumsy in the past, they are seamless today and work very well, sometimes even better.

• “Slanted-edge” feature for measuring Spatial Frequency Response and colour plane registration
• 12-step Spectrally Neutral Patches from 0.05 to 2.43 optical density for measuring the Opto-Electronic Conversion Function (OECF), colour neutrality, and noise
• 18 Munsell colour patches to assess colour encoding accuracy
• Neutral density patches to assess uniformity (device-level only)
• All data is saved to individual reports in Microsoft Excel and to appended reports in a Microsoft Access database to facilitate statistical process control and quality assurance
• GoldenThread Informational Brochure (for more detailed descriptions of the test targets and software capabilities): Download now

The full GoldenThread System includes the standard (9-1/4″ x 1″) object-level target, a device-level target, analysis software and standard support. Components can be purchased separately.
