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

1 Scope
This part of IEC 61883 specifies the packet format and the transmission timing for HD-DVCR
data. It describes the specifications for the IEEE 1394 packet, the CIP header for 1125-60
and 1250-50 television systems, and the transmission timing.

The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition
of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Abbreviations
For the purpose of this document, the following abbreviations apply:
1125-60 system: the 1125-line system with a frame frequency of 30,00 Hz
1250-50 system: the 1250-line system with a frame frequency of 25,00 Hz
HD-DVCR: high-definition digital video cassette recorder
IEEE 1394 packet: IEEE 1394 isochronous packet defined in IEC 61883-1
4 Construction of IEEE 1394 packet
4.1 Source packet structure of the HD-DVCR data stream
For the HD-DVCR data stream, the data structure for digital interface defined in IEC 61834-3,
Clause 10 is used. The source packet size for the HD-DVCR data stream is 960 bytes, divided
into 12 DIF blocks.
The correspondence between DIF blocks and source packets for the 1125-60 system and
the 1250-50 system are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 respectively.

4.2 Packetization of source packet of the HD-DVCR data stream
A source packet shall not be divided and shall be equal to a data block.
Data blocks transmitted in an IEEE 1394 isochronous cycle shall be determined according to
the TR value in the CIP header (see 5.2). An empty packet is placed in any cycle with no data
block.
Where the TR value is
00 (1x), one or no data block is transmitted;
01 (2x), two or no data block are transmitted;
10 (4x), four or no data block are transmitted.
The SYT field of the CIP header (see 5.1) is used to synchronize the transmitter and the
receiver.
4.3 Transmission order of video frames for high-speed transmission
Transmission order of data within one video frame is defined in Figure 1 and Figure 2. For
high-speed transmission, the transmission order of each video frame data shall follow the time
sequence.
5 CIP header
5.1 CIP header for HD-DVCR data stream
The structure of the CIP header for the HD-DVCR data stream is the same as the structure of
