6.	Proposed additions to Recommendation N.63

TEST SIGNALS TO BE USED BY THE BROADCASTING ORGANIZATIONS

DURING THE PREPARATORY PERIOD

Add a third and fourth alinea to the Recommendation as follows:

"All test signals transmitted prior to the actual television transmission, being full field or otherwise, should be superimposed with

the identification of the broadcaster and location from where the test signal is originating. This identification may be transmitted either in monochrome, or in colour, according to preference or to suit the technical requirements of the particular test signal being transmitted. If the local language of the originating source is not an internationally recognized language then the identification signal should be displayed not only in the local language of the country concerned but also in one of the internationally recognized languages.

When a full field signal is transmitted simply as a means to check link or tandem connection continuity, it may comprise any suitable composite video signal (such as test card, pulse and bar or other suitable picture or pattern) provided that it contains specific signal components that include Peak White, synchronizing pulses and the identification signal (as previously described) of the station or broadcaster transmitting the signal. The composite signal (colour bars plus captions, etc.) must not exceed 1 volt (peak-to-peak) in order to preclude interference with adjacent video channels, particularly on half transponder satellite operation."

Move the existing third alinea to the end of the Recommendation.
