What is this BS EN 61966-5 - Equipment using plasma display panels about?
BS EN 61966-5 discusses multimedia systems and equipment and colour measurement and management with a focus on equipment using plasma display panels.
BS EN 61966-5 is the fifth part of the multi-series on BS EN 61966 multimedia systems and equipment that defines input test signals, measurement conditions, methods of measurement, and reporting of the measured data, to be used for colour characterization and colour management of plasma display panels in multimedia systems. Colour control within the equipment is outside the scope of BS EN 61966-5.
Note: BS EN 61966-5 does not specify limiting values for various parameters.
Who is BS EN 61966-5 - Equipment using plasma display panels for?
BS EN 61966-5 on equipment using plasma display panels is useful for:
- Television manufacturers
- HDR technology developers
- Research and development personnel
- Design engineers
Why should you use BS EN 61966-5 - Equipment using plasma display panels?
A series of methods and parameters for colour measurements and management for use in multimedia systems and equipment applies to the assessment of colour production and reproduction. BS EN 61966-5 deals with equipment using plasma display panels (PDP) to display colour images for use in multimedia applications.
BS EN 61966-5 provides methods of measurement that are designed to make possible the objective performance assessment and characterization of colour reproduction of PDP displays that accept red – green – blue analogue or digital signals from electrical input terminals and output colour images on PDP display screens. For PDP displays to that analogue signal are applicable, the corresponding digital signals are taken into account. The measured results are intended to be used for the purpose of equipment specific colour control in order to enable colour management in open multimedia systems.
