Abstract

An experiment was conducted to identify system response time criteria for commonly-used TV functions based on acceptability judgments of TV viewers. Sixteen participants used four different response time profiles on the same digital TV system and rated the acceptability of the response times of eighteen commonly-used TV functions. Results showed significant differences in the acceptability ratings of different response times for different TV functions. This data may be used to estimate how TV viewers would rate various system response times for specific TV functions.
