D: VIDEO TESTS
Due to the automatic selection of video protocols we were unable to carry out the full
suite of tests.
In all tests at H.323 the corresponding audio standard is Siren™ 14, 48kbit/s
Objective Video Tests: Signal measurements
1. 75% EBU bars
2. Grey scale
Subjective Video Impairments Tested:
Lip synchronisation LS
Block distortion (tiling) BLK
Blurring (reduced edge sharpness and spatial detail) BLR
Colour errors CLR
Jerkiness (distortion of smooth motion) JRK
Object persistence(lagging images from previous frames as faded or outline images) OP
Scene cut response (i.e. time to build up the new image) SCR
Scale of impairments:
Imperceptible 1
Perceptible 2
Slightly annoying 3
Annoying 4
Very annoying 5

To ensure accuracy of measurement at the remote site, all signals are to be monitored
prior to transmission.
