Video Testing in Modern Television Systems

David K. Fibush

Measurement of picture quality has been high on the list of television engineering priorities since video compression became a practical reality. This paper examines the modern television system outlining its elements and the appropriate levels of testing. The need for continuation of traditional analog and digital testing methods is emphasized as a prerequisite for both effective video compression and the measurement of resulting pictures. Proposed picture quality measurement methods and possible limitations of their application are discussed.
