Abstract: The paper will describe the 19mm type D-6 digital 1Gbit/sec recording format which is presently under final review of SMPTE standardization committees. Part one of the D-6 format documents specifies the format and recording method of the data blocks which form the helical records on 19 mm tape. This part of the standard is totally independent of the nature of the recorded digital signals and need not to be changed if any new image interface standard is coming up. Part two of the D-6 documents specifies the content of the data blocks which form the helical records. The data recorded may be digital video and audio of various image standards up to approximately 1Gbit/sec. All image standards recordable by this new format employ identical track pattern, identical inner and outer error correction block structure and identical modulation code. Parameters which vary for different interface formats are listed in tables. The later adding of any new interface format can easily be done by adding one additional line with new parameters to these tables.
