BS EN 62141:2006 Helical-scan digital video cassette recording format using 12, 65mm 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).
NOTE Early implementations of this standard might not comply to the frame rate of 50 Hz as specified in SMPTE
296M.
