DVD 5: Reliability tests
Apart from user-friendly operation and high video and audio quality, long-term reliability is the most important quality requirement to be met by DVD players. Visual monitoring of video sequences carried out during quality inspection only yields sample results; it does not provide coherent results that would allow complete quality assessment over several hours. DVD 5 (video), therefore, delivers a continuous test signal by which picture degradations (e.g. picture freeze or picture loss) can be automatically detected by means of the Digital Video Quality Analyzer R&S DVQ. Reliability tests can thus be implemented that allow DVD players to be tested to their limits of performance, for example by putting EUTs through temperature cycles at the same time.
