Helical-scan digital video cassette recording format using 12,65 mm magnetic tape and incorporating MPEG-4 compression - Type D-16 format

This International Standard specifies the track content, format, and recording method of the data blocks containing compressed video, AES3 audio data, and associated data which form the helical records on 12,65 mm tape in cassettes. This standard supports recording of source picture formats using 1920 × 1080 pixels with the 4:4:4 and 4:2:2 sampling structure specified in SMPTE 274M at the frame rate of 23,98 Hz, 24 Hz, 25 Hz and 29,97 Hz, and using 1280 × 720 pixels with the 4:2:2 sampling structure specified in SMPTE 296M at the frame rates of 50 Hz and 59,94 Hz (see note). This standard also supports recording of 12 channels of AES3 audio data and 3 lines of uncompressed blanking interval data. This standard includes packetizing and shuffling operations supporting picture compression using the DCT and DPCM encoding methods defined by ISO/IEC 14496-2 (MPEG-4 simple studio profile).

Format d'enregistrement à balayage hélicoïdal pour cassette vidéo numérique utilisant une bande magnétique de 12,65 mm avec système de compression MPEG-4 - Format D-16

La CEI 62141:2005 définit le contenu des pistes, leur format et la méthode d'enregistrement des blocs de données contenant de la vidéo compressée, des données audio AES3 et des données associées qui forment les enregistrements hélicoïdaux sur une bande de 12,65 mm dans des cassettes. La présente norme prend en charge l'enregistrement de formats d'image source utilisant 1920 x 1080 pixels avec la structure d'échantillonnage 4:4:4 et 4:2:2 spécifiée dans la SMPTE 274M aux fréquences image de 23,98 Hz, 24 Hz, 25 Hz et 29,97 Hz, et utilisant 1280 x 720 pixels avec la structure d'échantillonnage 4:2:2 spécifiée dans la SMPTE 296M aux fréquences image de 50 Hz et 59,94 Hz (voir note). Cette norme prend également en charge l'enregistrement de 12 voies de données audio AES3 et 3 lignes de données non compressées d'intervalle de suppression vertical. Cette norme inclut les opérations de mise en paquets et de brassage prenant en charge la compression d'image utilisant les méthodes de codage DCT et DPCM définies par l'ISO/CEI 14496-2 ("MPEG-4 simple studio profile"). La présente version bilingue (2012-11) correspond à la version anglaise monolingue publiée en 2005-10.

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.

International Standard IEC 62141 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 100: Audio,

video and multimedia systems and equipment.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
