Summary

This Recommendation specifies the general transport mechanism for conveying all the service elements required for contribution and primary distribution applications of TV programs whose vertical resolution is quite high compared to 525/60 or 625/50 television systems (e.g. 1125/60 system) using the MPEG-2 4:2:2 profile or Main profile at High level compression. The service elements provided to MPEG-2 coding systems are assumed to be (4:2:2) component video signals, studio quality audio signals and various data signals, e.g. time code. This Recommendation ensures the compatibility on the level of the bit-stream into a decoder. It is based on and is in conformity with the MPEG-2 standard ITU-T Rec. H.222.0 | ISO/IEC 13818-1.
