22、t.8 5 EN 61606-4:2006 Part 4: Personal computer 1 Scope This part of IEC 61606 specifies the basic measurement methods of a linear PCM signal for an audio part of personal computers (PCs) and applies to both desktop and portable computers. The common measuring conditions and methods are described in
23、 IEC 61606-1. Specific conditions and methods of measurement for PCs are given in this standard. NOTE 1 The methods described are mostly based on sampling frequencies from 8 kHz to 192 kHz and bit length from 8 bit to 24 bit. NOTE 2 This standard describes tests for equipment which has digital input
24、 with analogue output and analogue input with digital output. Digital input data are provided from an internal HDD or other memory media and output digital data are recorded to an internal HDD or main memories. NOTE 3 The methods specified in this standard are not applicable to systems incorporating
25、 bit-rate reduced digital audio signals that have data loss or to 1-bit signals. This part does not apply to analogue input with analogue output and digital input with digital output as described in IEC 61606-1. NOTE 4 When a CPU in a PC is overloaded by tasks other than those for audio input/output
26、, the PC may fail to record/reproduce the whole audio data. This standard applies only to the measurement in which input/output data are recorded/reproduced without such missing data. The performance of a PC with missing audio data may be evaluated by the short-term distortion measurement although s
27、uch evaluation is not within the scope of this standard. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
