IEEE 208-1960

This standard is a revision of Part I1 of 50 IRE 23.S1,and replaces it in all respects. One of the major characteristics of a television system affecting overall picture quality is the ability of the system to reproduce fine detail found in the original image. This ability to resolve detail is determined by a number of factors, such as the number of scanning lines employed, the frame repetition rate, mid the over-all response of the electrical circuits, which is usually specified in terms of the frequency-response characteristics. Performance of the optical imaging device, the camera tube, and the reproducing device also has considerable influence on the ability of the system to resolve detail.



New IEEE Standard - Inactive-Withdrawn. Superseded by IEEE Std 208-1995 The methods for measuring the resolution of camera systems are described. The primary application is for users and manufacturers to quantify the limit where fine detail contained in the original image is no longer reproduced by the camera system. The techniques described may also be used for laboratory measurements and for proof-of-performance specifications for a camera.
