10、s of the standard. “Should” denotes a provision that is recommended but not mandatory. “May” denotes a feature whose presence does not preclude compliance, and implementation of which is optional. “Optional” denotes items that may or may not be present in a compliant device. 4 Definitions 4.1 Auto P
11、ower-Down (APD) a STB feature that monitors parameters correlated with user activity or viewing. If the parameters collectively indicate that no user activity or viewing is occurring, the APD feature enables the STB to transition to SLEEP or OFF mode. 4.2 Client any device (e.g. STB, Thin-Client STB
12、, Smart TV, Mobile Phone, Tablet, PC, etc.) that can receive content over a Home Network Interface. 4.3 Crest Factor the ratio of the peak to the root-mean-square (rms) current. 4.4 Digital Video Recorder (DVR) a STB feature that records television signals on a HDD or other non-volatile storage devi
13、ce. A DVR often includes features such as: Play, Record, Pause, Fast Forward (FF), and Fast Rewind (FR). STBs that support a Service Provider delivery network based “DVR” service are not considered DVR STBs for purposes of this standard. The presence of DVR functionality does not mean the device is
14、defined to be an STB. 4.5 Display Device (DD) a Display Device (e.g. TV, Computer Monitor, Portable TV, etc.) receives its content directly from an STB through a video interface (e.g. HDMI, Component, Composite, S-Video, etc.), not through a Home Network Interface, and renders it for viewing. 4.6 Ha
15、rmonic a component of order n of the Fourier series that describes the periodic current or voltage (where n is an integer greater than 1). 4.7 High Definition Test Stream (HD) video content delivered to the STB by the content provider to produce a minimum output resolution of 1280720 pixels in progr
16、essive scan mode at minimum frame rate of 59.94 fps (abbreviated 720p60) or a minimum output resolution of 19201080 pixels in interlaced scan mode at 29.97 fps (abbreviated 1080i30). 4.8 Home Network Interface (HNI) the interface with external devices over a local area network (e.g. IEEE 802.11(Wi-F
17、i), MoCA, HPNA, IEEE 802.3, HomePlug AV). 4.9 Low Noise Block-downconverter (LNB) a combination of low-noise amplifier, block- downconverter and intermediate frequencies amplifier. It takes the received microwave transmission, amplifies it, down-converts the block of frequencies down to a lower bloc
18、k of CEA-2043 3 intermediate frequencies where the signal can be amplified and fed to the indoor satellite TV STB using coaxial cable. 4.10 Outdoor Unit (ODU) the satellite signal reception components including; a receiving dish, one or more LNBs, and imbedded or independent radio frequency (RF) swi
19、tches, used to distribute a satellite Service Provider network to consumer Satellite STBs. 4.11 Point of Deployment (POD) module a plug-in card that complies with the ANSI/SCTE 28 interface and is inserted into a digital-cable-ready device to enable the decryption of services and provide other netwo
20、rk control functions. 4.12 Power Mode a condition or state of a device that broadly characterizes its capabilities, power consumption, power indicator coding, and responsiveness to input. 4.13 Principal STB Function functions necessary for selecting (e.g. EPG), receiving, decoding, decompressing, or
21、 delivering video content to a Display Device, DVR, or Client. Monitoring for user or network requests is not considered a Principal STB Function. 4.14 Service Provider a business entity that provides video content, a delivery network, and associated installation and support services to subscribers
22、with whom it has an ongoing contractual relationship. 4.15 Satellite STB a STB that receives and decodes video content as delivered from a Service Provider satellite network. 4.16 Set-top Box (STB) a device whose primary purpose or function is to receive video content which is then delivered to a Di
23、splay Device, recording device, or Client. 4.17 Smart Card a plug-in card that complies with ISO/IEC 7816-12 and is inserted into a satellite STB to enable the decryption of services and provide other network control functions. 4.18 Standard Definition Test Stream (SD) video content delivered to the
24、 STB by the content provider to produce an output resolution of 640 480 pixels in interlaced scan mode at minimum frame rate of 29.97 fps (abbreviated 480i30). 4.19 Thin-Client STB a STB that can receive content over a Home Network Interface from another STB, but is unable to interface directly to t
25、he Service Provider network.

27、 ON The STB is connected to a mains power source. At least one Principal STB Function is activated and all Principal STB Functions are provisioned for use. The power consumption in ON mode may vary based on specific use and configuration. 6.2 SLEEP A range of reduced power states where the STB is co
28、nnected to a mains power source and is not providing any Principal STB Function. The STB may transition to ON or OFF mode due to user action, internal signal, or external signal. The power consumed in this mode may vary based on specific use or configuration. If any Principal STB Function is activat
29、ed while operating in this mode, the STB is assumed to transition to ON mode. Monitoring for user or network requests is not considered a Principal STB Function. An STB may be expected to transition from SLEEP mode to ON mode within a specified time interval however such considerations are outside t
30、he scope of this standard. 6.3 OFF The STB is connected to a mains power source, has been de-activated, and is not providing any function. The STB requires a user action to transition from this mode to ON or SLEEP mode. Note: SLEEP and OFF modes may not be available on all STBs. 7 Measurement Criter

37、quency counter to verify frequency at the input of the UUT. Note: Items (a) and (b) may be considered optional when the ac source output has sufficient accuracy. 7.4.1 Calibration Test instruments shall be calibrated annually to traceable national standards to ensure that the limits of error in meas

40、range setting. The full-scale value of the selected current range multiplied by the crest factor for that range shall be at least 15% greater than the peak current to prevent measurement error. 7.4.2.2 Bandwidth The current and voltage signal shall be analyzed to determine the highest frequency comp
41、onent (i.e., harmonic) with a magnitude greater than 1% of the fundamental frequency under the test conditions.

45、 following two methods: (a) Record the accumulated energy (E) in kilo-watt hours (kWh) consumed over the time period specified for each test (T). The average power consumption is calculated as P = E/T. (b) Record the average power consumption (P) by sampling the power at a rate of at least 1 sample
