As an option, this standard supports 24-bit audio or four bits of AES auxiliary data as defined in clause 3.10. (1.4) This standard provides a minimum of two audio channels and a maximum of 16 audio channels based on available ancillary data space in a given format (four channels maximum for composite digital). Audio channels are transmitted in pairs combined, where appropriate, into groups of four. Each group is identified by a unique ancillary data ID. (1.5) Several modes of operation are defined and letter suffixes are applied to the nomenclature for this standard to facilitate convenient identification of interoperation between equipment with various capabilities.

It is a point-to-point interface intended for use in a low-noise environment. The low-noise environment is defined as a noise level that would corrupt no more than one MPEG-2 data packet per day at the transport clock rate. When other transmission systems (e.g., studio-to-transmitter microwave links, etc.) are interposed between devices employing this interface, higher noise levels may be encountered. In such cases, it is recommended that appropriate error correcting methods be used (see Figure 1). | Active · Stabilized | 2010-11-12 |

Generic MPEG-2 transport streams, which do not comply with the constraints in this standard, may require more sophisticated techniques for splicing. — The constraints specified here are applied individually to programs within transport streams. A program is a collection of video, audio, and data streams which share a common time base. The presence of a video component is not assumed. The standard enables splicing of programs within a multiprogram transport stream either simultaneously or independently. Splice Points in different programs may be presentationtime-coincident, but do not have to be. The standard may also be used with single-program transport streams. — The document specifies constraints for both seamless and nonseamless Splice Points. Seamless Splice Points must adhere to all the constraints. Nonseamless Splice Points must adhere to all constraints except those prefaced with the clause “to enable seamless splicing.” A bit stream which is compliant with this standard shall conform to the constraints defined in clauses 5 and 6. Such a bit stream may contain any number of seamless, nonseamless, or both types of Splice Points. If a bit stream does not contain splice event command and control information, the constraints in clause 7 do not apply to the bit stream. Mechanisms for transmission of time code in MPEG-2 transport/elementary bit streams shall be addressed by other standards. — In addition to constraints for creating spliceable bit streams, this standard specifies the technique for carrying notification of upcoming Splice Points in the transport stream. A splice information table is defined for notifying downstream devices of splice events, such as a network break or return from a network break. The splice information table which pertains to a given program is carried in a separate PID stream referred to by that program's program map table. In this way, splice event notification can pass through transport stream remultiplexers without need for special processing. A bit stream which is compliant with this standard and which carries splice event command and control information shall conform to the constraints in clauses 5, 6, and 7. — The standard does not address constraints on splicing devices. Annex A outlines several issues that should be considered in the design of such devices. — NOTE – Numbers given in brackets are subject to confirmation. | Active · Stabilized | 2001-06-25 |

Alternatively or…(1.1) This standard defines a method of mapping up to eight synchronous streams of AES3-compliant data into a self-clocking serial interface. When used for PCM digital audio, the interface can carry up to 16 channels of linearly encoded audio and auxiliary data. Alternatively or concurrently (within the eight stream limit), the interface may be used to carry streams of compressed audio or other data that is packaged into an AES3- compliant stream. The interface is transparent to any data type that is packaged in an AES3-compliant stream that is synchronous with the multiplex. (1.2) PCM audio sampled at 48 kHz and clock-locked to video is the preferred linear baseband audio representation for studio applications and should be used whenever baseband audio is associated with video that is running at standard frame rates. However, this interface supports any frequency of operation supported by AES3, provided that all of the audio channels and/or all the non-audio (see 3.15) data streams are synchronized to a common clock. Ideally all the audio channels should be audio-synchronous (see 3.5) for guaranteed audio phase coherence. (1.3) This standard is intended to provide a reliable method of distributing multiple co-phased channels of digital audio around a studio without losing the initial relative sample-phase relationship. A mechanism is provided to allow multiple 16-channel streams to be re-aligned after a relative misalignment of up to ± 8 samples. (1.4) This interface is intended to be compatible with the complete range of digital television scanning standards and standard film rates. | Active · Stabilized | 2004-05-10 |

(1.2) The objective of this high-definition multiplexing interface is to use a single physical link to transmit, distribute, route, and switch a complete family of existing 10-bit video formats and various data formats. (1.3) Active video and vertical blanking areas in the HD SDI stream are time divided into 19 interleaved channels. The word in the first channel is used to indicate the data validation of the remaining 18 channels. (1.4) A single video or data stream is multiplexed into one or multiple channels of the total 18 data channels. A control packet is multiplexed into the horizontal ancillary data space of the luminance parallel data area after the switching point of the HD stream for each video or data stream. The control packet indicates how and which channels are used for this video or data stream. It also contains stream clock reference information for clock recovery of the original clock signal. (1.5) Multiple standard definition video or data streams could be multiplexed in and demultiplexed from a single HD SDI stream with a total delay of a fraction of a horizontal line. (1.6) By dividing the payload into segments which are subdivided into channels, time-division multiplexing can be applied to several data sources in a way that very low latency will be generated during the demultiplexing process. A fixed number of channels in each segment provides an efficient implementation of different data by reducing the complexity of the multiplexing and demultiplexing processes. | Withdrawn | 2000-09-27 |

This is done in a transport-independent manner and relies solely on standard IP multicast techniques. (1.2) Application — This standard defines the transmission of declarative content across terrestrial (over the air), cable, and satellite systems as well as over the Internet. In addition, it will also bridge between networks — for example, data on an analog terrestrial broadcast must easily bridge to a digital cable system. This design goal was achieved through the definition of a transport-independent content format and the use of IP. Since IP bindings already exist for each of these video systems, the advantages of this work may be useful. — IP multicast is the mechanism for broadcast data delivery. Content creators should assume IP addresses may be changed downstream and, therefore, should not use them in their content. The transport operator is responsible only for making sure that an IP address is valid on the physical network where they broadcast it (not for any rebroadcasting). When possible, content creators should use valid IP multicast addresses to minimize the chance of collisions. Some systems may have two-way Internet connections. Capabilities in those systems are outside the scope of this standard and are described by the appropriate Internet standards. — Transport operators should use the standard IP transmission system for the appropriate medium (IETF, ATSC, DVB, etc.). It is assumed that when the user tunes to a television channel, the receiver automatically locates and delivers IP datagrams associated with the television broadcast. The mechanism for tuning video and connecting to the appropriate data stream is implementation and delivery standard specific and is not specified in this framework. | Active · Stabilized | 2002-01-03 |
