Methods of measurement for digital network - Performance characteristics of terrestrial digital multimedia transmission network

IEC 62553:2012(E) is intended to establish measuring methods that enable the objective evaluation of the performance of transmission networks so as to make stable DTTB services a reality and establish a technical baseline, such as a definition of technical terms, to standardize measuring methods. The measurement methods described are intended for digital terrestrial television transmission network test and validation.

Méthodes de mesure applicables aux réseaux numériques - Caractéristiques de performance des réseaux de transmission numériques multimédia terrestres

IEC 62553:2012 vise à établir des méthodes de mesure qui permettent d’évaluer objectivement le rendement des réseaux de transmission afin de faire de la stabilité des services de la DTTB une réalité et d’établir une base technique, telle qu’une définition des termes techniques, afin de normaliser les méthodes de mesure. Les méthodes de mesure décrites sont destinées au test et à la validation du réseau de transmission numérique terrestre.
