scope:

This part of IEC 61146 applies to the assessment of performance of professional colour video cameras equipped with two and three tubes or solid state imagers, used for educational purposes and in other applications. This part of IEC 61146 defines test patterns, measurement conditions, and methods of measurement, so as to enable the comparison of the results of measurements. The methods of measurement are designed to enable the assessment of the performance of cameras by using light input from the lens and any electrical outputs of the cameras, for example, R-G-B signals, Y-C separate signals, and composite video signals.
