About This Item
IEC 61146-4:1998 addresses methods of measurement for video cameras and camera-recorders using PAL, SECAM, or NTSC systems, with specific attention to automatic functions. For engineering teams, test laboratories, and procurement specialists, it provides a technical reference for evaluating how automatic camera behaviors are measured and compared in a controlled way. IEC 61146-4:1998 is relevant where documented performance assessment, verification activities, and product evaluation are needed for video equipment used in professional or consumer workflows.
Purpose of IEC 61146-4:1998
The purpose of IEC 61146-4:1998 is to define a consistent measurement approach for automatic functions in video cameras and camera-recorders. Based on the title, the document supports technical assessment of behaviors that may affect operational consistency, such as automatic control responses during capture or recording. It is intended to help organizations align test methods, compare products on a like-for-like basis, and support engineering documentation, technical review, and conformity assessment activities.
Compliance applications of IEC 61146-4:1998
IEC 61146-4:1998 is commonly used in testing workflows for video camera products where automatic functions must be evaluated under repeatable conditions. It may support laboratory evaluation, procurement review, and compliance preparation for devices intended to operate with PAL, SECAM, or NTSC systems. Organizations can use it as a compliance reference when building test plans, documenting performance criteria, or comparing supplier claims against a defined measurement method during technical validation.
Benefits of IEC 61146-4:1998
Using IEC 61146-4:1998 can improve testing consistency and reduce ambiguity in engineering specification reviews for video cameras and camera-recorders. A clear measurement framework helps teams document results in a way that supports quality workflows, technical compliance, and risk management. It may also help procurement and conformity assessment teams compare products more reliably, especially when automatic functions are part of the acceptance criteria. For organizations working with video equipment, this improves traceability and supports more dependable verification activities.
