Videodisk players - Methods of measurement
Applies to reproducing equipment for videodisks for home use that conforms to the specifications of EN 60844, EN 60845, EN 60856 and EN 60857. Deals with listing and defining the characteristics affecting the performance of videodisk players, establishing conditions and methods of measurement of those characteristics, and standardizing the presentation of results. Is not applicable to specify limiting values of the various quantities for acceptable performances. The methods of measurement are designed to make possible the assessment of the performance of the complete player.

Overview
EN 61599:1999 - Videodisk players: Methods of measurement is a European (CLC/EN) adoption of IEC 61599:1999 that defines standardized measurement methods for videodisk reproducing equipment intended for home use. The standard applies to videodisk players that conform to related video disc specifications (EN 60844, EN 60845, EN 60856 and EN 60857). It lists and defines the performance characteristics of a videodisk player, specifies test conditions and measurement methods, and standardizes how results are presented. EN 61599 is a measurement-methods standard - it does not set pass/fail limits or acceptable performance thresholds.
Key topics
- Scope and applicability: measurement methods for home-use videodisk reproducing equipment that comply with referenced EN specifications.
- Definition of performance characteristics: identification and description of the characteristics that affect player performance (e.g., playback quality parameters, mechanical and signal-related behaviours - defined in the standard).
- Measurement conditions: standardized environmental and test conditions under which measurements should be carried out to ensure repeatability and comparability.
- Measurement methods: procedures and instrumentation guidance to measure the listed characteristics consistently across different laboratories and manufacturers.
- Presentation of results: standardized formats and reporting practices for test data to allow clear comparison and interpretation.
- Assessment focus: methods are designed to assess the performance of the complete videodisk player rather than isolated components.
Practical applications
- Product testing and benchmarking of videodisk players for consistent, reproducible measurement results.
- Research & development and design validation to quantify the impact of design changes on playback performance.
- Quality control and production testing to monitor manufacturing consistency.
- Comparative testing by independent test laboratories and consumer organisations.
- Supporting pre-compliance testing and documentation for procurement and technical evaluation.
Who uses this standard
- Manufacturers and design engineers of videodisk players
- Test laboratories and certification bodies performing performance assessments
- Quality assurance and production teams responsible for product verification
- R&D teams evaluating playback performance and system-level behaviour
- Procurement specialists and technical evaluators comparing products
