scope:

Defines the interconnection characteristics of peritelevision devices, both between themselves and with television receivers (monochrome or colour). The interconnections covered by this standard are at baseband (video and audio) or digital signals. For the purpose of defining conformance, this standard spcifies the types and related groups of signals, composite video, audio, primary colour and control that shall bepresent on the connectors. The levels and impedances together with the tolerances on these values are also specified. The manner in which the signals on the connector are processed within the products incorporating the connectors and the presentation of the results of such processing to the user is outside the scope of this standard. These details upon the system involved, e.g. PAL or SEGAM and the specification of the product. This standard lays down collectively the electrical matching characteristics (type of signals, voltage and impedance values), dimensional, mechanical and electrical characteristics of the connectors, type and winding wiring of interconnection cordsets. Attention is drawn to the fact that the interconnection covered by this standard shall in any circumstances meet the safety requirements specified in EN 60065:1993 and the electromagnetic compatibility requirements specified in the appropiate publications.
