CTA’s Canvass Committee has recently published ANSI/CTA-6002, Audio, Video, and Related equipment - Determination of Power Consumption - Part 2: Signals and Media IEC 62087-2:2023. This standard represents the US National Adoption of IEC 62087-2:2023, which specifies the signals used to determine the power consumption of audio, video, and related equipment, such as television sets and computer monitors. It also specifies signals for determining the peak luminance ratio that is sometimes associated with television set power consumption measurement programs. In addition, this part specifies equipment, interfaces, and accuracy related to signal generation. IEC 62087-2:2023 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2015. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:

• a) HDR and UHD video test signals have been added;
• b) dynamic box and outline test signals have been added, replacing the static box and outline test signals;
• c) all test signals are provided as media files for download from a specified IEC online repository, which replaces previous DVD and Blu-ray media.
