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.
