Bibliography

This part of EN 62330 specifies the content, format, and recording method of the data blocks containing HD compressed video data defined in part 2, audio, and associated data which form the helical records on 12,65 mm (0,5 in) tape in cassettes as specified in EN 61835. In addition, this standard specifies the content, format, and recording method of the longitudinal record containing tracking information for the scanning head associated with the helical records, and also the longitudinal cue audio, and time and control code. One video channel of HD compressed video data and four independent audio channels are recorded in the digital format. Each of these channels is designed to be capable of independent editing. The HD compressed video data are derived from the following HD video signal: 1080 line / 59,94 Hz field frequency interlace system 720 line / 59,94 Hz frame frequency progressive system
