GUIDELINE FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF
COPY CONTROLLED MULTIMEDIA INTERFACE
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. In
exceptional circumstances, a technical committee may propose the publication of a technical
specification when
• the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of an International Standard,
despite repeated efforts, or
• the subject is still under technical development or where, for any other reason, there is the
future but no immediate possibility of an agreement on an International Standard.
Technical specifications are subject to review within three years of publication to decide
whether they can be transformed into International Standards.
IEC 62436, which is a technical specification, has been prepared by technical area 4: Digital
system interfaces and protocols, of IEC technical committee 100: Audio, video and multimedia
systems and equipment.
– 4 – TS 62436 © IEC:2008(E)
The text of this technical specification is based on the following documents:
Enquiry draft Report on voting
100/1231/DTS 100/1334/RVC
Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical specification can be found in
the report on voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in
the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• transformed into an International standard,
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date.

INTRODUCTION
Various IEC standards have included methods for transmission of copy control information at
the time when they were developed. For instance, IEC 61119-6 defines copyright status bit for
DAT recorder, and IEC 60958-3 defines the L bit that is specified in IEC 61119-6.
The current consumer products become more complex and use the many IEC standards in
one product.
For instance, a DVD player produces its high quality audio signal securely through
IEC 61883-6, it also performs CD quality audio signal through IEC 60958 or IEC 61937, and
the DVD player can produce audio signals through the other interface using IEC 60958
conformant data format, defined in IEC 61883-6.
Another example is a digital video recorder with hard disk drive or DVD that produces audio
signal to the other audio recorder using IEC 60958 or IEC 61883-6.
These consumer products use many interface standards and should give copy control
information and other information appropriately.
This guideline describes
– the relation between digital interface standards,
– the relation of copy control information and related information,
– the method for information implementation.

The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. In
exceptional circumstances, a technical committee may propose the publication of a technical
specification when
• the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of an International Standard,
despite repeated efforts, or
• the subject is still under technical development or where, for any other reason, there is the
future but no immediate possibility of an agreement on an International Standard.
Technical specifications are subject to review within three years of publication to decide
whether they can be transformed into International Standards.
IEC 62436, which is a technical specification, has been prepared by technical area 4: Digital
system interfaces and protocols, of IEC technical committee 100: Audio, video and multimedia
systems and equipment.
The committee has decided that the contents of the base publication and its amendment will
remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under
"http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the
publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date.
IMPORTANT – The 'colour inside' logo on the cover page of this publication indicates
that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct
understanding of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a
colour printer.

INTRODUCTION
Various IEC standards have included methods for transmission of copy control information at
the time when they were developed. For instance, IEC 61119-6 defines copyright status bit for
DAT recorder, and IEC 60958-3 defines the L bit that is specified in IEC 61119-6.
The current consumer products become more complex and use the many IEC standards in
one product.
For instance, a DVD player produces its high quality audio signal securely through
IEC 61883-6, it also performs CD quality audio signal through IEC 60958 or IEC 61937, and
the DVD player can produce audio signals through the other interface using IEC 60958
conformant data format, defined in IEC 61883-6.
Another example is a digital video recorder with hard disk drive or DVD that produces audio
signal to the other audio recorder using IEC 60958 or IEC 61883-6.
