Subjective Testing of Broadcasting Quality Compressed Video

William Y. Zou, James A. Kutzner, Paul J. Hearty

This paper describes a program of analysis and subjective testing of broadcast quality compressed video conducted by PBS and the CRC's ATEL. To fulfill the program objectives, a novel approach to test preparation and conduct was adopted. New methodology was employed in the development of a reference model and in the selection of test material. The tests were conducted in controlled viewing conditions, using internationally recommended methods. Statistical analysis was performed on the test results. Observations and conclusions are given based on the test results.
