METHODS OF MEASUREMENT ON RECEIVERS FOR TELEVISION
BROADCAST TRANSMISSIONS –
Part 7: HDTV displays
FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the 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, the IEC publishes International Standards. 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. The IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two
organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the 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 National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60107-7 has been prepared by IEC subcommittee 100A: Receiving
equipment, of IEC technical committee 100: Audio, video and multimedia systems and equipment.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
100A/23/FDIS 100A/43/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
Annex A is for information only.

METHODS OF MEASUREMENT ON RECEIVERS FOR TELEVISION
BROADCAST TRANSMISSIONS –
Part 7: HDTV displays
1 General
1.1 Scope and object
This part of IEC 107 deals with the standard conditions and methods of measurement on high
definition television (HDTV) displays. Such displays may be used as an integral part of an
HDTV receiver for direct off-air reception, reception via cabled networks, or as a monitor for
pre-recorded video, home movies and games, among other applications.
This standard deals with the determination of performance, and permits the comparison of
equipment by listing the characteristics which are useful for specifications and by laying down
uniform methods of measurement for these characteristics. Performance requirements are not
specified.
This standard does not deal with general safety matters, for which reference should be made
*
to IEC 65 [1] or other appropriate IEC safety standards.
NOTE – Methods of measurement on wide-screen displays for conventional television signals are dealt with
in IEC 60107-1.
1.2 Normative references
The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text,
constitute provisions of this part of IEC 107. At the time of publication, the editions indicated

1.3 Definitions
For the purpose of this part of IEC 107, the following definitions apply:
1.3.1 : Integral part of an HDTV receiver or a monitor for displaying picture
HDTV display
information carried by the HDTV video signals defined in the Recommendation ITU-R BT.709-1
[2] or similar signals with an aspect ratio of 16:9.
It may include audio amplifiers and loudspeakers.
NOTES
1 The ITU-R Recommendation BT.709-1 [2] defines basic parameters of HDTV signals and their signal formats
for 1125/60/2:1 and 1250/50/2:1 systems.
2 Conventional television displays with an aspect ratio of 16:9 are not dealt with by this standard. This type of
display is dealt with by the future IEC/FDIS 107-1.
1.3.2 : In a given direction, the luminous intensity per unit of projected area of any
luminance
surface as viewed for that direction.
The luminance value is expressed in candela per square metre.
1.3.3 : Property of colour stimulus defined by its chromaticity co-ordinates (x,y) of
chromaticity
the CIE 1931 standard colorimetric system [3], or chromaticity co-ordinates (u′,v′) of the CIE 1976
uniform chromaticity system [3].
1.4 Types of displays
HDTV displays in this standard include direct-view types using a cathode ray tube (CRT) and
liquid crystal display (LCD), and projection types using CRTs and LCDs.
It is assumed that the displays are equipped with input terminals for analogue baseband
signals.
2 General notes on measurements
2.1 General
Measurement shall be made in accordance with the following conditions to ensure repeatable
results.
If audio channels and loudspeakers are provided, characteristics of the audio channels shall be
measured by the methods specified in IEC 60107-2.
2.1.1 Operation conditions
Unless specified otherwise in the relevant clauses, both the audio and picture parts shall be in
operation and the scanning circuits shall be properly synchronized. The contrast and
brightness controls should be set at the standard settings specified in 2.5. If different values
are used, they shall be noted with the results.
2.1.2 Presentation of results
Measurement results shall be listed in a table or presented graphically. However, the
relationship between two or more quantities is often more clearly represented in a graph than
as a table.

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------

SIST EN 60107-7:1999
60107-7 © IEC:1997 – 13 –
When the results of a point-by-point measurement for an individual sample are presented as a
continuous curve in a graph, the measured points shall be clearly indicated. Extrapolated,
theoretical or other information presented, but not based on direct measurement, shall be
clearly distinguished from measured curves, for example by another style of drawing. Linear or
logarithmic scales are recommended for graphical presentation. Linear decibel scales are
equivalent to logarithmic scales.
If deviations from the recommended method are adopted, these shall be clearly stated with the
results. When known, the accuracy of measuring instruments shall also be given.
2.1.3 Environmental conditions
Measurements and mechanical checks may be carried out at any combination of temperature,
humidity and pressure within the following limits:
– ambient temperature: 15 °C to 35 °C, preferably 20 °C;
– relative humidity: 25 % to 75 %;
– air pressure: 86 kPa to 106 kPa.
If the manufacturer finds it necessary to specify climatic conditions differing from the above,
these should be chosen from IEC 68-1 and the measurements shall be made under these
specified conditions.
The conditions mentioned above represent those under which the equipment is required to
meet its specifications. Over a wider range, the equipment may operate but not meet all of its
specifications and it may be permissible to store the equipment under much more extreme
conditions. For more complete discussion of these concepts, reference should be made to IEC 68.
2.1.4 Precautions during measurement
When carrying out measurements, all test conditions or operations which may lead to damage
of the display shall be avoided. This applies particularly to sensitive, solid-state devices and
similar constructions.
If a protective cover is removed and parts that are directly connected to the mains become
accessible, the equipment shall be connected to the a.c. mains via a safety transformer, the
secondary winding of which is insulated in accordance with the principle of double insulation.
It shall be ascertained that the use of a safety transformer does not influence the receiver
properties to be measured. In particular, the internal impedance of the safety transformer shall
be sufficiently low for the behaviour of the display to be the same as when directly connected
to the mains supply.
2.1.5 Power supply
Measurements of the display characteristics shall be carried out at the rated voltage of the power
supply. The fluctuation of the power supply voltage during the tests shall not exceed ±2 %.
When a.c. mains are used, the frequency fluctuation and the harmonic components of the
power supply shall not exceed ± 2 % and 5 % respectively.
To determine the influence of variations in the supply voltages on the display characteristics,
supplementary measurements may be needed at overvoltages and undervoltages, these being
chosen appropriately with due regard to the manufacturer's specifications.

SIST EN 60107-7:1999
60107-7 © IEC:1997 – 15 –
2.1.6 Stabilization period
In order to ensure that when measurement begins, characteristics do not change significantly
with time, the display shall be operated under standard measuring conditions for a sufficient
period to permit the characteristics to stabilize.
2.1.7 Test room
Measurements shall be carried out in a room that is not subject to disturbing external
interference from electromagnetic fields. If interference may effect the results, the measure-
ments shall be carried out in a screened room.
2.2 Input signals
2.2.1 Video signals
Input video signals to the display shall be YP P component signals
B R
where
Y is the luminance signal;
P is the B-Y signal;
B
P is the R-Y signal.
R
The synchronizing signal shall be a composite sync signal consisting of tri-level, bipolar line
synchronizing pulses and field synchronizing pulses.
The Y signal shall be accompanied by the synchronizing signal.
Some displays may require R, G, and B signals instead of the YP P component signals. Such
B R
displays require that the synchronizing signal or line and field driving pulses be separate.
NOTE – Some displays can be operated by negative synchronizing pulses.
2.3 Test signals
2.3.1 Video test signals (general remarks)
Waveforms of test signals and test patterns shown in this clause are examples; however, other
signals with similar characteristics may also be used.
The amplitude of a picture component is measured from the blanking level and expressed as a
percentage to the amplitude of the reference white level. The black level coincides with the
blanking level.
The white reference level can be obtained from the Y signals for composite test patterns,
colour bars and staircase signals, which are defined in this subclause.
NOTE – In order to avoid excessive overshoots of the signal waveform which may occur in the display under
test, high-frequency components of the video signal beyond the nominal frequency bandwidth of the system
should be attenuated by suitable low-pass filters.

SIST EN 60107-7:1999
60107-7 © IEC:1997 – 17 –
2.3.1.1 Composite test pattern signal
A composite test pattern signal comprises a combination of monochrome and colour signal
components that offer as much information as possible on the performance of the displays.
Such a pattern should include at least the following items:
– circles and equidistant horizontal and vertical lines for linearity and colour convergence
checks;
– a marking to check the visible picture size (see 4.1.3);
– a known brightness scale comprising 5 to 10 brightness steps for gradation checks;
– vertical and horizontal definition wedges in the centre and in the four corners of the
picture area;
– vertical bars of different widths or a wedge and horizontal blocks giving black-white and
white-black transitions for checking overshoot, reflections and low-frequency response;
– areas at the reference white level and black level to check the maximum and minimum
brightness of the picture;
– coloured areas to check decoding operation, colour transitions and luminance/-
chrominance time equalization.
An average picture level (APL) of the pattern signal should be approximately 50 %.
2.3.1.2 Colour bar signal
A colour bar signal consists of vertical bands of colours in order of descending luminance, left
to right, as defined in Recommendation ITU-R BT.471-1. For the measurements of the display,
a 100 % colour bar signal consisting of (100/0/100/0) bars shall be used (for the nomenclature
of bars, refer to ITU-R BT.471-1).
R, G and B primary bar signals are shown in figure 1.
Y, P and P bar signals shall comply with the HDTV standard used. Waveforms of the signals
B R
are shown in figure 2.
2.3.1.3 Black and white cross-hatch pattern signals
The white cross-hatch pattern signal produces a white cross-hatch on a black background and
the black cross-hatch pattern signal produces a black cross-hatch on a white background.
The white cross-hatch pattern is used to measure convergence errors or registration errors of
displays, and the black cross-hatch pattern is used as a scale for locating a point on the screen
and other purposes.
The cross-hatch pattern consists of equidistant horizontal and vertical lines which form
rectangular windows. The screen has 13 and 21 lines, respectively, as shown in figure 3.
These patterns require Y signal only.
2.3.1.4 Full white and full black signals
The full white and full black signals are flat level Y signals whose amplitudes are set at 100 %
and 0 % as shown in figure 4.
These signals are used to measure luminance and other characteristics of a display.

60107-7 © IEC:1997 – 19 –
2.3.1.5 White window signal
The white window signal is a Y signal which produces a white rectangular window on a black
background as shown in figure 5. The width of the window is half the picture height. The signal
amplitude of the window is variable from 10 % to 100 %.
This signal is used to measure luminance of a display.
2.3.1.6 Black and white window signal
The black and white window signal is a Y signal which produces a white rectangular window
and four black rectangular windows on the 50 % grey background as shown in figure 6.
The size of the windows is 2/15th of the picture height.
This signal is used to measure contrast of a display.
NOTE – This signal is adopted by the ITU-R Recommendation BT.815-1 [4]. Detailed parameters of the signal
are described in this Recommendation.
2.3.1.7 Line and window signal
The line and window signal is a Y signal which consists of two vertical white lines placed at the
left and right sides of the picture and a window placed at the centre as shown in figure 7. The
background is set at black level.
This signal is used to measure local picture distortion due to variation of the CRT beam
current.
2.3.1.8 Composite sine-wave signal
The composite sine-wave signal consists of a variable-frequency sine-wave component
superimposed on a 50 % Y level with a peak-to-peak amplitude of 40 % as shown in figure 8.
The frequency of the sine-wave is variable from 100 kHz to 30 MHz.
This signal is mainly use
