Headquartered and incorporated in the United States of America, SMPTE has members in over 80 countries on six continents. SMPTE’s Engineering Documents, including Standards, Recommended Practices and Engineering Guidelines, are prepared by SMPTE’s Technology Committees. Participation in these Committees is open to all with a bona fide interest in their work. SMPTE cooperates closely with other standards-developing organizations, including ISO, IEC and ITU. SMPTE Engineering Documents are drafted in accordance with the rules given in Part XIII of its Administrative practices. This Standard 421M was prepared by Technology Committee C24. ii © SMPTE 2003-2006 – All rights reserved Introduction This document was prepared for the primary purpose of documenting the bitstream format and decoding process used in the VC-1 video decoder. It defines the bitstream syntax, semantics and constraints for compressed video bitstreams and describes the complete process required to decode them. VC-1, as defined in this document, consists of three profiles: Simple, Main, and Advanced. Simple and Main profile were originally developed for use in lower-bit-rate networked computing environments. As such, certain assumptions were made regarding the display environment (e.g. square pixel aspect ratio) to improve compression efficiency. The Advanced Profile adds extensive in-band metadata support to allow for optimized experience on a wide range of display devices. © SMPTE 2003-2006 – All rights reserved Approved 24-February-2006 iii

    Digital Video Quality Handbook May 2013 This page intentionally left blank. Executive Summary Under the direction of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T), First Responders Group (FRG), Office for Interoperability and Compatibility (OIC), the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL), worked with the Security Industry Association (including Steve Surfaro) and members of the Video Quality in Public Safety (VQiPS) Working Group to develop the May 2013 Video Quality Handbook. This document provides voluntary guidance for providing levels of video quality in public safety applications for network video surveillance. Several video surveillance use cases are presented to help illustrate how to relate video component and system performance to the intended application of video surveillance, while meeting the basic requirements of federal, state, tribal and local government authorities. Characteristics of video surveillance equipment are described in terms of how they may influence the design of video surveillance systems. In order for the video surveillance system to meet the needs of the user, the technology provider must consider the following factors that impact video quality: 1) Device categories; 2) Component and system performance level; 3) Verification of intended use; 4) Component and system performance specification; and 5) Best fit and link to use case(s). An appendix is also provided that presents content related to topics not covered in the original document (especially information related to video standards) and to update the material as needed to reflect innovation and changes in the video environment. The emphasis is on the implications of digital video data being exchanged across networks with large numbers of components or participants.

    ispLever TM CORECORE Multi-Rate Serial Digital Interface Physical Layer IP Core User’s Guide January 2012 ipug70_01.2 Multi-Rate Serial Data Interface Physical Layer Lattice Semiconductor IP Core User’s Guide Introduction Serial Digital Interface (SDI) is the most popular raw video link standard used in television broadcast studios and video production facilities. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) with SDI interface capability can be used for acquisition, mixing, storage, editing, processing and format conversion applications. Simpler applications use FPGAs to acquire SDI data from one or more standard definition (SD) or high definition (HD) sources, perform sim- ple processing and retransmit the video data in SDI format. Such applications require an SDI physical layer (PHY) interface and some basic processing blocks such as a color space converter and frame buffer. In more complex applications, the acquired video receives additional processing, such as video format conversion, filtering, scaling, graphics mixing and picture-in-picture display. FPGA devices can also be used as a bridge between SDI video sources and backplane protocols such as PCI Express or Ethernet, with or without any additional video processing. In an FPGA-based SDI solution, the physical interface portion is often the most challenging part of the solution. This is because the PHY layer includes several device-dependent components such as high speed I/Os (inputs/outputs), serializer/deserializer (SERDES), clock/data recovery, word alignment and timing signal detection logic. Video processing, on the other hand, is algorithmic and is usually achieved using proprietary algorithms developed by in-house teams. The Lattice Multi-Rate SDI PHY Intellectual Property (IP) Core is a complete SDI PHY interface that connects to the high-speed SDI serial data on one side and the formatted parallel data on the other side.

    Rec. ITU-R BT.1616 1 RECOMMENDATION ITU-R BT.1616 Data stream format for the exchange of DV-based audio, data and compressed video over interfaces complying with Recommendation ITU-R BT.1381 (Question ITU-R 12/6) (2003) The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that applications within professional television production and post-production have been identified where DV-based video compression can offer operational and economic advantages when compared to serial digital interface (SDI)-based operations; b) that three data rates have been proposed within the same compression family to serve different applications (25 Mbit/s, 50 Mbit/s and 100 Mbit/s); c) that the sampling rasters for each of the three applications are different; d) that audio, auxiliary data and metadata elements are integral parts of these applications; e) that these elements are multiplexed into a single data stream for transport and further processing; f) that information exchange will be effected through interfaces complying with Recommendation ITU-R BT.1381 for further post-processing and storage; g) that for interconnection of standard definition and high definition equipment ITU-R recommends the use of Recommendations ITU-R BT.656 and ITU-R BT.1120 respectively; h) that for this purpose, the complex data stream must be formatted before injection into the above interface; j) that this format must also describe the parameters needed for the transmission in faster than real-time modes, recommends 1 that for applications in professional television production and post-production using DV-based compression, the elements contained be formatted according to SMPTE 321M-2002 “Data Stream Format for the Exchange of DV-Based Audio, Data and Compressed Video over a Serial Data Transport Interface”.
