Common use of Multi-decode Clause in Contracts

Multi-decode. When using the Multi-decode additional functionality energy limit to establish the criteria for a CSTB, the following procedure shall be followed: • First, test the CSTB operating with single-decode and compare the results to the energy limit assuming the CSTB will deliver one decoded video, i.e. do not include the Multi-decode limit. If the CSTB meets the target, no further measurement is required. • If the CSTB does not pass the single decode device CSTB test, then determine if it qualifies by including the Multi-decode limit when it provides multi-decode functionality (e.g. with independent content on main picture and PIP using the same display): • Add the Multi-decode additional energy limit listed in Table 3 of Annex D to the limits established for the CSTB. • Compare the test results to the total limit to see if the CSTB is compliant with the Voluntary Agreement when providing multi-decode functionality.
