Description / Abstract:
This trial-use standard allows the creation of instrumentation
technology for consistent measurements of video-related
time-interval errors (TIEs).
Purpose
This standard defines a set of measurements to provide metrics
to quantify the timing perturbations of a video signal's
synchronization information. The goal of this measurement standard
is to provide consistent and meaningful timing measurements of both
digital (discrete-time) and analog (continuous-time) video that can
be correlated to video system performance. To achieve this goal,
this standard makes use of the traditional engineering concept of
analyzing the timing perturbations in terms of a sinusoidal
frequency spectrum, rather than applying statistical metrics to
time-domain measurements. A partitioning (filtering) of that
spectrum is introduced and metrics are assigned for quantifying the
timing perturbations so that performance limits, which are directly
related to limitations of video timing recovery, buffering and
synchronization, can be set and verified.
