This part 8 of IEC 61966 is applicable to the characterization and assessment of multimedia
colour scanners used in computer systems, multimedia and similar applications.
The methods of measurement standardized in this part are designed to make possible the
characterization and objective performance assessment of multimedia colour scanners which
can capture colour images and output colour information such as red, green and blue data
from reflective originals. The measured results are intended to be used for the purpose of
colour management in multimedia systems. Measurement conditions, possible methods of
measurement and characterization are defined to make colour management possible.
Colour control within the equipment is out of the scope of this part. For calibration of Prepress
input scanners, IS0 12641 will be applied.
