FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

be used for luminance levels at or above 10 lx. The ND filter shall be of the absorptive type
and shall be large enough to cover the entire light acceptance area of the ABC sensor
assembly with a margin of at least 5 mm on all sides. The ND filter shall have an average
transmission of 25 % ± 2,5 % within the visible range, which is 400 nm to 700 nm, without
selectively absorbing light at specific wavelengths.
Specific illuminance levels shall be obtained by controlling the voltage and/or duty cycle to the
above light source.
The model of the lamp used for illuminating the ABC sensor to specific illuminance levels
shall be reported.
Some lighting controllers, such as those with SCR-based circuits, may introduce current
spikes into the power source. Such controllers should be avoided or otherwise isolated from
the power source for the UUT.
5.6.5 Light source for disabling the ABC feature
The light source used for disabling the ABC feature shall use a dimmable halogen lamp in a
sealed reflector and shall have a diameter of 120 mm or less. The rated correlated colour
temperature shall be 2 800 K ± 300 K at its rated voltage. The front surface of the lamp shall
be clear (i.e., not coloured or coated with a spectrum modifying material) and may have a
smooth or granular front surface. The lamp assembly shall not modify the spectrum of the
halogen source, including the IR and UV bands. The light source shall be capable of providing
300 lx or greater when applied directly to the ABC sensor assembly.
The model of the lamp used for disabling the ABC feature shall be reported.
5.6.6 Networking equipment
For wireless connectivity, a Wi-Fi wireless access point that is compatible with
IEEE 802.11-2007 shall be used.
For wired connectivity, a category 5e or better cable and an Ethernet switch or router that
supports IEEE 802.3 shall be used. If the UUT supports Energy Efficient Ethernet
(IEEE 802.3az-2010), the Ethernet router shall also support IEEE 802.3az-2010. The
networking equipment shall support the highest and lowest data speeds of the UUT’s network
function.
The networking equipment shall not be connected to a wide area network (WAN).

6 Procedures
6.1 Order of activities
The following order of activities is recommended (also represented in Figure 2):
– preparation (6.2),
– initial activities (6.3),
– determination of power consumption, On mode (6.4),
– determination of peak luminance ratio and power factor (6.5),
– determination of power consumption, Partial On mode (6.6),
– determination of power consumption, Off mode (6.7).
The above order is chosen to ensure proper stabilization prior to the taking of each
measurement. The technician performing the activities may vary the order as needed.
However, the stabilization process prior to the taking of each measurement shall effectively
be the same as if the recommended order had been followed.

6.2 Preparation
6.2.1 Measuring plan
Before the UUT has been installed, a measuring plan should be developed based on the
specifications of the UUT and the region in which the results are to be reported. The

– 16 – IEC 62087-3:2015 © IEC 2015
measuring plan is based on the decision points in 6.2.2 through 6.2.9. These decision points
include:
– power source voltage and frequency (6.2.2),
– input terminals (6.2.3),
– video signal, On mode power consumption procedure (6.2.4),
– video signal, peak luminance ratio procedure (6.2.5),
– video format (6.2.6),
– automatic brightness control capabilities (6.2.7),
– automatic brightness control levels (6.2.8),
– network connection capabilities (6.2.9).
When these decisions have been taken, the following activities can be expected to be
deterministic.
6.2.2 Power source voltage and frequency
Whether the UUT is to be powered by an included external power supply (IEC 62087-1:2015,
5.1.1.2), mains power (IEC 62087-1:2015, 5.1.1.3), and/or power from other than the mains
(IEC 62087-1:2015, 5.1.1.4) shall be determined and shall be described in the report.
The voltage and frequency of the power source shall be reported.
6.2.3 Input terminals
A single set of input terminals shall be selected for use during the procedure. If the power
consumption of the UUT is to be determined with multiple video input terminal types for
comparison purposes, the entire procedure should be performed multiple times, each time
with a single set of input terminals selected, to ensure proper stability under each condition.
If available, an HDMI input shall be selected. Selection of the video input terminal shall be
prioritized in the following order: HDMI, component analogue, S-Video, composite analogue,
other AV or RF input. DVI, VGA, and other inputs that are primarily used for connections with
computers (as compared to AV equipment) shall not be used.
For HDMI inputs, only inputs intended for standard AV sources, such as STBs or BD players
shall be used. HDMI inputs intended for other sources, such as “PC” or “Game”, shall not be
used.
The selected input terminals shall be reported.
6.2.4 Video signal, On mode power consumption procedure
A video signal shall be selected for use during the On mode power consumption determination
procedure. The selection shall be made from one of the three following signals:
– static video signals (IEC 62087-2:2015, 4.1.2),
– dynamic broadcast-content video signal (IEC 62087-2:2015, 4.1.3),
– Internet-content video signal (IEC 62087-2:2015, 4.1.4).
The video signal selected for determining On mode power consumption shall be reported.
NOTE Information regarding the selection of the video signal for the On mode power consumption measurement
is available in IEC 62087-2:2015, Annex A.
