Description / Abstract:
This standard describes methods for measuring the performance of
uniformly coded analog-to-digital (A/D) converters and digital-to
analog (D/ A) converters for pulse code modulation (PCM) television
video signals. Excluded are A/D and D/ A converters that employ
nonlinear processes for bit reduction television circuits, as for
example, sub-Nyquist encoding, differential PCM, transform coders,
etc. This standard is intended primarily for CCIR System M, 525-
line/60-field television circuits.
The performance to be measured should be relevant to the
subjective quality of the television picture. Measurements not
related to the quality of the video signal are excluded from this
standard. Where possible, television type test signals are used to
accommodate clamping circuits in the converters.
