1、SMPTE 402M-2003 Page 1 of 7 pages 1 Scope This standard specifies a data reduction method for the MPEG-2 video recoding data set for SDTV as defined in SMPTE 327M. The coding information is as derived from an ISO/IEC 13818 compliant MPEG bit stream during the picture decoding process, as described i

2、n ISO/IEC 13818-2. This data-reduced MPEG-2 recoding data set may be transported by various means defined in other SMPTE standards (see annex for further details). 2 Normative references SMPTE 319M-2000, Television Transporting MPEG-2 Recoding Information through 4:2:2 Component Digital Interfaces S

9、ern and coefficient information are removed from the bit stream; motion vectors are transmitted to one-quarter of their usual precision; the remaining bits of the motion vectors are transmitted at the end of the bit stream. The information required in the MPEG-2 video recoding data set can be broken

10、 down into two parts. These two parts consist of the picture rate information, described in clause 5, and the macroblock rate information, described in clause 6. SMPTE 327M defines a method for signaling reduced bandwidth operation in any particular transport mechanism using the MPEG-2 video recodin

11、g data set. This standard uses that method. In the case of the present specification, for data sets that have been recoded with data-reduction, the decoder shall assume that red_bw_flag is set to 1 and that red_bw_indicator is set to “Indicator 1”. This value of red_bw_indicator indicates that coded

12、_block_pattern, slice_start, mb_quant and skipped_mb are not transmitted. It will be noted that mb_quant and skipped macroblock information are in fact transmitted in the data-reduced bit stream, but this information is transmitted as part of the data reduction mechanism and does not automatically i

13、ndicate the values of those parameters in the original MPEG-2 bit stream. 5 Picture rate information The picture rate information consists of 4,320 bits, exactly as given in table 4 of SMPTE 319M. If the MPEG-2 picture_structure is “Field picture”, then the picture rate information for the two field

14、-pictures in the frame is transmitted in succession, a total of 8,640 bits. 6 Macroblock rate information The macroblock rate information is transmitted immediately following the picture-rate information. It consists of two parts. The first part is essentially the picture data in an MPEG-2 video ele

15、mentary stream without coefficients and containing reduced-precision motion vectors. The second part SMPTE 402M-2003 Page 3 of 7 pages consists of additional information which restores the precision of the motion vectors. The macro-block rate information is described in detail in the following table

25、he aim of this data reduction method is to reduce the MPEG-2 video recoding data set data rate to below 1.5 Mb/s for standard definition systems so that the video recoding data set may be carried in an auxiliary transport path. If the data-reduced video recoding data set bit stream should exceed the

26、 available capacity of the transport mechanism for a given video frame, this bit stream is truncated. It is the responsibility of the re-encoder using this stream to take appropriate action in this eventuality. Examples of this path include an AES-3 audio channel and the auxiliary data packets of th

27、e 50-Mb/s structure for DV-based DIF streams. This standard exists because the data rate of SMPTE 327M (MPEG-2 video recoding data set) data exceeds the bandwidth of certain links on which it is desired to transport this information. The intention is to reduce the data rate of the SMPTE 327M data in

28、 such a way that the maximum quality benefit can be achieved from the data when transmitted on a restricted bandwidth channel such as the auxiliary data packets of the 50-Mb/s structure for DV-based DIF streams. Verification of the validity of the data carried by this data reduction standard is beyo

29、nd the scope of this standard. There are operational situations where picture information may change, but the related video recoding data carried by this standard remains unchanged. A simple example of this is where a particular picture transport system truncates the number of active lines without u

30、pdating the recoding information. Implementations which may encounter this situation should ensure steps are taken to check the integrity of the data where possible.
