27、 Introduction This part of IEC 61041 has been prepared for the reasons given below. Some of the measurement items for non-broadcast video tape recorders in IEC61041 require specific test signals which may not be available from a general purpose test signal generator. In this case, a calibration tape
28、 can be made and used to supply the required test signals for measurement. The video tape recorders on the market today have very good record and playback compatibility, provided that the level of the test signals and the frequencies of the carriers to be recorded are set precisely within specificat
29、ions. The calibration tape can therefore be made using a non-broadcast video tape recorder of the relevant recording format by recording the specified test signals. This part of IEC61041 specifies the video and audio test signals to be recorded on the calibration tape which is used when measuring vi
30、deo and audio characteristics of non-broadcast video tape recorders, in accordance with the measurement items prescribed in IEC61041. 1.1 Scope and object This part of IEC61041 specifies the general requirements for the calibration tape which is used for measurement of signal characteristics of the
31、playback systems of non-broadcast video tape recorders (NTSC/PAL/SECAM). The calibration tape specified in this part of IEC61041 applies particularly to the measurement items prescribed in the relevant part of IEC61041 which require complex test signals, which are unavailable from a general purpose
32、test signal generator. The object of this part is to describe the methods of measurement for non-broadcast video tape recorders. This part of IEC61041 describes also the procedures for generating the signals and for recording the signals on the calibration tape. 1.2 Normative references The followin
33、g normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of IEC61041. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All normative documents are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this part of IEC61041 are
34、 encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below.

This tape contains video and FM audio
38、signals appropriate to the video tape recorder to be tested, taking into consideration the specified items in the audio system test described in IEC 60094-2 1.3.2 calibration tape recorder video tape recorder which is used to record the test signals specified in this part of IEC61041 for producing t
39、he calibration tapeEN61041-4:1997 4 BSI 03-1999 1.4 Requirements 1.4.1 Magnetic tape to be used The video tape to be used shall conform to the recording format specifications of the calibration tape recorder. It is preferable to use a subreference tape. 1.4.2 Video signal to be recorded The video si
40、gnal to be recorded shall conform to the standard TV signal specified for record and playback of the calibration tape recorder. 1.4.3 Audio signal to be recorded The audio signal to be recorded shall conform to the audio recording format specified for record and playback of the calibration tape reco
41、rder. 1.4.4 Marking on the cassette The cassette shall be labelled with the following information: TV system; applicable recording format; details of signals; date/month/year when the tape was recorded; name of the person or the company who made the recording; others. Section 2. Specifications of th
42、e signals to be recorded on the calibration tape 2.1 Luminance signal level This subclause specified the luminance signals to be recorded on the calibration tape with specified sync-tip frequency, peak white frequency, and frequency deviation, so that they conform to the recording format. 2.1.1 Bloc
43、k diagram Figure 1 shows the block diagram for generating the signal on this section of the calibration tape. 2.1.2 Signal to be recorded The video signal to be recorded on the calibration tape shall be a colour bar signal of ITU-R Recommendation 471-1, type b) or equivalent containing a 100% (0,714
44、 V p-pand 0,700 V p-pforPAL) white signal. The level of the sync signal shall be 40 % (0,286 V p-p ) for NTSC or 43% (0,300 V p-p ) for PAL/SECAM. 2.1.3 Procedures a) Input the signal from a TV test signal generator to the calibration tape recorder. b) Using a carrier checker (or a spectrum analyzer
45、), observe the output from the frequency modulator of the luminance signal. Then, adjust the sync-tip frequency, the peak white frequency, and the frequency deviation as specified below. With respect to the reference frequencies specified for the recording format of the calibration tape recorder, th
46、e sync-tip frequency shall be within 0,05MHz, the peak white frequency shall bewithin 0,05MHz, and the frequency deviation shall be within 2 %. NOTEFor precise measurement, use a carrier checker. Use of a spectrum analyzer for this measurement may result in larger measurement errors. It is advisable
47、 to check that the recording current for the chrominance signal meets the specification for the respective format, prior to starting measurement. 2.2 Dropout compensation characteristics This subclause specified the signal to be recorded on the calibration tape for measurement of the dropout compens
48、ation characteristic of the luminance signal. With this method, in accordance with the method described in 2.8.3 a) of IEC 61041-1, the dropout compensation characteristic (DCC) can be measured simply by using a TV monitor. 2.2.1 Block diagram Figure 2 and Figure 3 show the block diagram of the drop
49、out generator and the dropout level adjustment system for generating the signal on this section of the calibration tape. 2.2.2 Signal to be recorded The video signal to be recorded on the calibration tape shall be as shown in Figure 4, which is specified in 2.8.3 a) of IEC61041-1. 2.2.3 Procedure a) Figure 2 shows the luminance processing circuitry for the signal which is a dropout generator circuit. b) Input a white signal of 50% (grey) (0,357 V p-pfor NTSC and 0,350
