ITU-T Test Signals for Telecommunication Systems

Conformance and Test Data

Many ITU-T Recommendations contain test signals intended to test end-to-end quality of telecommunications systems and to assess implementations conformity to specific Recommendation provisions. These test data cover the different types of media: audio, still images and moving images. ITU-T test signals are a highly valuable collection of more than 20 GB size that constitute a worldwide reference for assessing the different components of telecommunications systems.

Test signals database

In order to facilitate their use, ITU-T test signals were grouped into a single database.

Below one may find the list of ITU-T Recommendations that contain freely available test signals for download. Each link below opens a webpage with a short description of the relevant content and a link to download the relevant test signals.
The signals available here constitute part of the corresponding ITU-T Recommendations and are protected by copyrights laws.
You may use them during product or service development for the purpose of implementing the corresponding ITU-T Recommendations.
In the downloading section, when applicable, one can preview or hear samples of the available signal(s).
