BS EN 61146-1 discusses video cameras (PAL/SECAM/NTSC) and methods of measurement with a focus on non-broadcast single-sensor cameras. BS EN 61146-1 is the first part of the BS EN 61146 multi-series on video cameras that are applicable to the assessment of the performance of non-broadcast colour video cameras equipped with a single-tube or solid-state imager.
BS EN 61146-1 defines test patterns and measurement conditions, so as to make possible the
comparison of the results of measurements.
Note: BS EN 61146-1 does not specify limiting values for various characteristics.
Who is BS EN 61146-1 - Non-broadcast single-sensor cameras for?
BS EN 61146-1 on non-broadcast single-sensor cameras is useful for:
A camera-recorder is a combination of several devices, such as a video camera, video recorder,
microphone and an electronic or through-the-lens (TTL) viewfinder.
BS EN 61146-1 describes a measurement method that is designed to make possible the assessment of the performance of the camera by using the lens input and any electrical output terminals of the device (e.g., Y/C and composite).
In conclusion, the test method described in BS EN 61146-1 helps you identify the performance levels of non-broadcast single-sensor cameras and can be used for quality assurance purposes.
