Part 2: Signals and media
FOREWORD
a) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical
Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt
with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations
liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two
organizations.
b) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
c) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
d) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
e) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
f) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
g) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
h) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
i) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s),
which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not
represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
https://patents.iec.ch. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 62087-2 has been prepared by technical area 19: Environmental and energy aspects for
multimedia systems and equipment, of IEC technical committee 100: Audio, video and
multimedia systems and equipment. It is an International Standard.
The first edition of IEC 62087-2, together with IEC 62087-1 and IEC 62087-3 to IEC 62087-6
canceled and replaced IEC 62087:2011 [1] in its entirety.
IEC 62087-2:2015 (first edition) separated signals and media that are to be used for determining
power consumption and related characteristics into a dedicated part. The three original video
signal sets (static, dynamic broadcast-content, and Internet-content) were not changed. Signals
for the purpose of determining the peak luminance ratio that is sometimes associated with
television set power consumption measurement programs had been added.
The second edition of IEC 62087-2 added HDR and UHD video test signals and dynamic box
and outline test signals for TV power consumption testing. All test signals were made available
IEC CDV 62087-2 © IEC 2026
from a specified IEC online repository for download, replacing the former physical media
distribution.
This third edition of IEC 62087-2 cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2023.
This edition constitutes a technical revision and includes the following significant technical
changes with respect to the previous edition:
– SDR video signals have been updated.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
Draft Report on voting
100/xxxx/CDV 100/xxxx/RVC
Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in
the above table.
The language used for the development of this International Standard is English.

average picture level
APL
average level of all the pixels of a single video signal frame or a group thereof in the linear
luminance domain
Note 1 to entry: This note applies to the French language only.
Note 2 to entry: APL is a measure of the linear signal that might be available inside of some display equipment and
delivered to the display device. The properties and their differences of the external and internal video signals are
shown in Figure 1.
Note 3 to entry: There are other standards that use the terms "pre-gamma" and "post-gamma" to describe APL' and
APL, respectively.
3.1.1.5
average picture level based on non-linear input signal
APL′
average level of all pixels of a single video signal frame or a group thereof in the non -linear
luminance domain
EXAMPLE Display equipment such as television sets or computer monitor receive input signals that encode
luminance or brightness in a non-linear way. Examples for such non-linear encoding are PQ (absolute luminance) or
HLG (3.1.1.8)(brightness) EOTFs (ITU-R BT.2100-2).
Note 1 to entry: APL' (3.1.1.5)is defined as a percentage of the range between reference black and reference white
level.
Note 2 to entry: This is not a measure of the linear signal that might be available inside of some display equipment
and delivered to the display device. The properties and their differences of the external and internal video signals
are shown in Figure 1.

3.1.1.6
standard dynamic range video
SDR video
capability of components in a video pipeline to capture, process, transport or display luminance
levels and tone gradations that can be characterized by the dynamic range, colour rendering
and tone gradation capabilities essentially compatible with cathode ray tube (CRT) displays
EXAMPLE BT.709/BT.1886 and IEC 62966-2-1 (sRGB)
Note 1 to entry: This note applies to the French language only.
3.1.1.7
high dynamic range video
HDR video
capability of components in a video pipeline to capture, process, transport or display luminance
levels and tone gradations that exceed capabilities of conventional SDR imaging pipeline
components
EXAMPLE An HDR video signal typically uses a greater bit depth, luminance and colour volume than standard
dynamic range (SDR) video. It also typically utilizes different tone curves such as perceptual quantizer (PQ) or hybrid
log gamma (HLG (3.1.1.8)) as specified in ITU-R BT.2100 instead of gamma, as used with SDR. When the HDR
video signal is rendered on an HDR display, it is possible to see greater luminance ranges and wider colour gamut
Note 1 to entry: HDR video can provide an enhanced viewer experience and can more accurately reproduce scenes
that include, within the same image, deep dark areas, and bright highlights, such as emissive light sources and
reflections.
Note 2 to entry: This note applies to the French language only.
3.1.1.8
hybrid log-gamma
HLG
one set of transfer functions offering a degree of backwards compatibility by more closely
matching the previously established electronic display transfer curves
Note 1 to entry: Sets of transfer functions related to HDR signals are specified in Rec. ITU-R BT.2100
Note 2 to entry: HLG (3.1.1.8)is used both as a description of a dedicated transfer function and as a video format
name.

background as defined in IEC 60107-1:1997, 3.2.1.3. This is an SDR signal. Reference to the
signal online repository is provided in 5.1.
4.1.3.5 Internet static pattern sequence
The media includes an Internet-content video signal. This is an SDR signal. Reference to the
signal online repository is provided in 5.1.
Additional information is available in Clause A.5.
4.1.3.6 Box and outline dynamic pattern
The set of two box and outline dynamic video signals includes a white (100 %) rectangle on a
grey (34 %) background, with a black (0 %) border near the outer part of the picture. This border
includes a moving pattern comprising black (0 %) and white (100 %) segments. Each corner
contains a 1 % coverage full-field colour bar pattern. The dimensions of the central white
(100 %) rectangle of the two signals correspond to the defined L20 and L40 static test patterns
[IDMS v1.1a, Appendix A12]. The signal with the corresponding larger white rectangle may be
used when measuring smaller screens in order to provide sufficient white coverage as required
by screen luminance contact probes. An example of L20PeakLumMotion is shown in Figure 2.

4.1.4 Broadcast content based test media
4.1.4.1 SDR broadcast content based test media
For SDR-only capable television sets, suitable SDR test media are available in appropriate
resolutions and progressive scan formats. The duration of the SDR audio-visual signal is 5 min.
The standard dynamic range dynamic video signals shall be downloaded from the specified IEC
online repository; see 5.1 .
4.1.4.2 HDR broadcast content based test media
High dynamic range (HDR) video has gained increasing importance throughout the entire video
ecosystem from capture, production and processing, through to distribution and presentation.
HDR television sets potentially have higher peak luminance level capabilities in comparison to
SDR TVs or SDR TV modes. For HDR-capable television sets, suitable HDR test media are
available in appropriate codecs, resolutions, and progressive scan formats. All HDR video
signals in HDR10 format contain static metadata. The duration of the HDR audio-visual signal
in both HLG and HDR10 formats is 5 min.
The high dynamic range dynamic video signals shall be downloaded from the specified IEC
online repository; see 5.1 .
4.2 Audio signals used for determination of audio power consumption
4.2.1 Audio signals
4.2.1.1 Sine wave signal
The signal shall be a sine-wave at a frequency of 1 kHz or, if 1 kHz cannot be used, the sine
wave frequency shall be at the centre of the frequency range specified by the manufacturer.
The analogue and digital 1 kHz sine wave signals are not included in the media supplied in
Clause 5.
4.2.1.2 Simulated programme signal
A simulated programme signal shall have a mean power spectral density that closely resembles
the average of mean power spectral densities of a wide range of programme material, in
accordance with IEC 60268-1.
Such a signal may be obtained from pink noise, band-limited by a filter whose response
conforms to that given in IEC 60268-1. The crest factor of a noise source should fall between 3
and 4 to avoid clipping of amplifiers.
The simulated programme signal is not included in the media supplied in Clause 5.
4.2.2 Signal levels
4.2.2.1 Audio signal level, analogue
For baseband analogue inputs, the input signal shall be at a level of 500 mV RMS, according
to the rated source EMF of IEC 61938.
4.2.2.2 Audio signal level, digital
For digital inputs, the input signal shall be at a level of 12 dB below reference full scale, in
accordance with IEC 61938, IEC 60958-1 and IEC 60958-3.
IEC CDV 62087-2 © IEC 2026
4.2.2.3 Audio signal level, RF
For FM radio tuners, the input signal shall be applied to an aerial input terminal at a level of 40
dB (pW). The deviation shall be 40 kHz.
For AM radio tuners with an antenna input terminal, the input signal shall be an EMF of 1 mV
from a 50 Ω source. The modulation factor shall be 30 %.
For non-detachable antennas (rod antennas for FM and magnetic antennas for AM), the RF
signal level for FM and AM shall be large enough to produce an audio signal-to-noise ratio of
36 dB for FM at 75 kHz deviation and 26 dB for AM at 30 % modulation. Signal-to-noise ratios
shall be measured as specified in IEC 60315-1:1988, 6.1.
For AM receivers, the method of measurement with an analogue electromagnetic field generator
is described in IEC 60315-3 and IEC 60315-1.
For FM receivers with rod antennas, refer to IEC 60315-4:1997, Clause 7.
For DAB and DAB+, the OOI point is sharply defined as the receiver's C/N (carrier-to-noise
ratio) degrades and BER increases, so this may be used as a means to assess the signal
requirement of the receiver. The OOI method may be implemented so that it is equivalent to a
−4
BER of 10 . The method involves monitoring (by a human observer or, if available, automated
equipment) of an encoded 1 kHz audio sinewave from the audio output source (speaker,
headphone, etc) and setting the RF signal level where the onset of audio defects (dropouts,
burbles, "chirps", etc.) can just be heard in the sinewave in a 10-second listening period. This
RF level is the OOI threshold for sensitivity.
In the case of a non-detachable aerial antenna, the RF signal level shall be high enough to
reproduce an audibly defect-free audio signal for DAB and DAB+.
The AM, FM and DAB test signals are not included in the media supplied in Clause 5.
NOTE ETSI EN 300 401, Clause 7 and ETSI TS 102 563 provide additional information about DAB and DAB+.
