Standard Introduction

This standard applies to non-broadcast UHD cameras used in professional, home, conference, education and sports scenarios. 

It classifies cameras into Class A (4K, 3840x2160) and Class B (8K, 7680x4320), and by form factor into handheld and fixed-mount types. 

The document also differentiates by transmission mode (network vs non-network) and use case. Performance requirements are specified with differentiated thresholds for centre vs corner resolution, and detailed test procedures cover dark-room conditions, test chart illumination, camera settings and instrument positioning for both reflective and transmissive test setups.
