IEC 62087-2:2023

Audio, video, and related equipment - Determination of power consumption - Part 2: Signals and media

IEC 62087-2:2023 specifies the signals used to determine the power consumption of audio, video, and related equipment, such as television sets and computer monitors. It also specifies signals for determining the peak luminance ratio that is sometimes associated with television set power consumption measurement programs. In addition, this part specifies equipment, interfaces, and accuracy related to signal generation. IEC 62087-2:2023 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2015. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) HDR and UHD video test signals have been added;
b) dynamic box and outline test signals have been added, replacing the static box and outline test signals;
c) all test signals are provided as media files for download from a specified IEC online repository, which replaces previous DVD and Blu-ray media.

Appareils audio, vidéo et matériel connexe - Détermination de la consommation de puissance - Partie 2 : Signaux et supports

L'IEC 62087-2:2023 spécifie les signaux utilisés pour déterminer la consommation de puissance des appareils audio, vidéo et du matériel connexe, tels que les téléviseurs et les moniteurs d'ordinateurs. Elle spécifie également des signaux pour déterminer le rapport de luminance de crête qui est parfois associé aux programmes de mesurage de la consommation de puissance des téléviseurs. En outre, la présente partie spécifie le matériel, les interfaces ainsi que l'exactitude associés à la génération de ces signaux. L'IEC 62087-2:2023 annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2015. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) ajout des signaux d'essai vidéo HDR et UHD;
b) ajout des signaux d'essai de boîte et de contour dynamiques, qui remplacent les signaux d'essai de boîte et de contour statiques;
c) mise à disposition de l'ensemble des signaux d'essai sous forme de fichiers multimédias à télécharger à partir d'un référentiel en ligne spécifié de l'IEC, qui remplace les supports DVD et Blu-ray précédents.
