BS EN 61041-2:1996

What is this BS EN 61041-2 - Non-broadcast video tape recorders about?

BS EN 61041-2 discusses methods of measurement non-broadcast video tape recorders with a focus on video characteristics chrominance SECAM.

BS EN 61041-2 is the second part of the BS EN 61041 multi-series on methods of measurement non-broadcast video tape recorders that describes the measurement methods to evaluate the chrominance performance in SECAM non-broadcast video tape recorders. Because of the frequency modulation used in the SECAM system, special methods of measurement are required for testing the chrominance performance.

Who is BS EN 61041-2 - Non-broadcast video tape recorders for?

BS EN 61041-2 on non-broadcast video tape recorders is useful for:

• Manufacturers of products that provide audio output (televisions, phones)
• Audio equipment manufactures
• Audio programmers
• Music producers
• Sound technicians
• Recording and dubbing studios

Why should you use BS EN 61041-2 - Non-broadcast video tape recorders?

The video tape recorders on the market today have a 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 specifications.

BS EN 61041-2 describes a measurement that determines the degree of crosstalk of FM-luminance sidebands into the down-converted chrominance band, being demodulated as unwanted colour signals (the so-called “cross colour”).

BS EN 61041-2 helps with measurement methods to evaluate the chrominance performance in SECAM non-broadcast video tape recorders.
