Audio, video and multimedia equipment and systems

To prepare international publications in the field of audio, video and multimedia systems and equipment.
These publications mainly include specification of the performance, methods of measurement for consumer and professional equipment and their application in systems and its interoperability with other systems or equipment.

NOTE: Multimedia is the integration of any form of audio, video, graphics, data and telecommunication and integration includes the production, storage, processing, transmission, display and reproduction of such information.

Advisory Group on Stategy

The AGS Advisory Group is charged with the design and development of long term strategies for TC 100 for the standardization of digital multimedia systems and equipment.
To meet this objective, the AGS advises and recommends action on long-term strategic plans and directions for organizational structure and procedures for more effective standards development.

The AGS will provide leadership to enable improved cooperation between industry and TC100 by creating the strategic plans, which will strengthen the relevance of TC100 standardization activities.

The AGS reports directly to the Chairman of TC100.

Note:
TC 100/AGS acts as an alternative to Sector Boards (document 140/AC:1999 paragraph 5). The scope and objectives are in accordance with this Administrative Circular.

Membership based on the former PACT multimedia working group, including TC 100 chairman and secretary, supplemented as necessary. The members of the AGS should cover the global regions (America, Europe and Pacific) as good as possible, but also represent industry association.

Advisory Group on Management

To organize and co-ordinate the work of TC 100 an advisory group is needed, due to the large scale of TC 100. This advisory group submits recommendations to the Chairman and officers of TC 100 on:

• the organization of TC 100, the co-ordination of the tasked work, the establishment of new TAs and the allocation of all new work items of TC 100.
• the related work of the other IEC committees and other liaison bodies.
• any other matter on which the Chairman requires advice.

The AGM advises and recommends actions on short-term, implementation and tactical management issues.

The member of the AGM are:

• chairman and secretary(ies),
• Technical Secretaries,
• Technical Area Managers and General Maintenance Manager,
• the representative of the IEC Central Office.
• Project Leaders, working directly under TC 100, on invitation.

Multimedia Security - Guideline for privacy protection of equipment and systems in use and disused -
Part 1: General
Part 2: Receivers

To draft a Technical Specification specifying a guideline of general methods for use’s privacy protection of consumer equipment and systems in use and disuse

Sound System Equipment - Electroacoustical Transducers - Measurement of Large Signal Parameters

This standard applies to transducers such as loudspeaker, headphones, shakers and other actuators using either an electro-dynamical or electro-magnetic motor coupled with a mechanical suspension. The measurement results are needed for engineering design purposes and for quality control. The measurement method provides the parameters of a nonlinear large signal model which describes the effect of the dominant nonlinearities inherent in those transducers. The basic terms
and measurement conditions are defined for static and dynamic methods.

Sound System Equipment - Electroacoustical Transducers - Dynamic Measurement of Suspension Parts

This standard applies for the suspension parts of electroacoustical transducers (e. g. loudspeaker). It defines the parameters and measurement method to determine the stiffness of suspension parts like spiders, surrounds, diaphragms or cones before being assembled in the transducer. The measurement results are needed for engineering design purposes and for quality control. Furthermore this method is intended to improve correlation of measurements between suspension part manufacturers and loudspeaker manufacturers.

Accessibility for audio, video and multimedia systems and equipment

This Technical Report addresses the design-for-all / universal design / accessibility environment(s) and explains how standards, technical specifications, and technical reports may or may not reflect that environment.

Audio, video and multimedia systems – General channel assignment of multi-channel audio

This standard specifies the general channel assignment for multi-channel audio formats that have three-dimensional channel assignment. The general channel assignment as a channel mapping and labelling provides the unified usage of channel assignment for source devices, digital audio interfaces and sink devices.
This standard excludes speaker mapping.

Multimedia systems and equipment - Multimedia home network configuration - Basic reference model

This International Standard specifies the basic reference model to configure the network devices when the home equipments access to the network. The reference model is structured by existing protocols based base and Web technologies.

Stage 0 project on identification and classification of resources for audio, video and multimedia systems and equipment

This stage 0 project prepares a technical report on identification and classification of resources in the area of TC 100. An NP regarding "identification and classification of resources" was circulated in IEC TC 3 and TC 100 will consider the issue from multimedia systems and equipment point of view.
