Details
This alternative is only intended for a title specifically designed for a handheld or portable device whose onboard loudspeaker lacks sufficient dynamic range for the general H.872 scaling guidance. Apply it to a representative 30-minute gameplay measurement. H.872 also strongly recommends a headphone output safety mode with additional attenuation in this case; PLVS cannot verify device capability, playback routing or that safety mode. Passing this Profile therefore does not establish complete H.872 conformity.
