Bibliography

Describes the determination of performance and allows the comparison of equipment, by listing the characteristics useful for specifications and laying down uniform measuring methods.

IEC 62028:2002 describes standard conditions and methods of measurement on digital television receivers which receive digital television broadcast transmissions. It deals with the determination of performance and allows the comparison of equipment by listing the characteristics which are useful for specifications and by laying down uniform measuring methods of these characteristics. Performance requirements are not specified, since they are specified by other international, regional or domestic standards for the systems. This bilingual version corresponds to the monolingual English version, published in 2002-02.
