1、STD-SMPTE 235fl-ENGL 1778 8357LiOL 0002987 102 m SMPTE STANDARD for Television - Three-C hannel RGB Analog Video Interface ANWSMPTE 253M-1998 1 Scope This standard defines the component analog video interface for studio applications using three primary color signals carried on parallel channels for
2、the inter- connection of television equipment. The signals carried across the interface have a typical scanning structure of 525 lines, 59.94 fieldsls, 2:l interlace, and 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio. The signals have a vertical blanking interval that is divided into an active line period and a horizont
3、al blanking interval. Signal characteristics are defined by a gamma-corrected set of red, green, and blue RGB (hereafter defined as RGB) primary video signals. In addition to general interconnection of television equipment at the RGB component analog level of operation, the signals defined by this s
4、tandard are suitable as inputs to analog-to-digital conversion systems in compliance with ANSVSMPTE 125M and ANSVSMPTE 267M or as inputs to NTSC composite encoders in compliance with ANSVSMPTE 170M. The three-channel interface defined by this standard (sync on green) is the preferred implementation.
5、 Some applications may require a four-channel inter- face (with sync carried separately). Such an imple- mentation is described in annex A. 2 Normative reference The following standard contains provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this standard.

This will provide 525 nominally horizontal lines where alternate lines are scanned on each vertical pass for 2:l interlace. As a result of vertical
9、 blanking, there are 483 active picture lines which are divided into an active picture period and a horizontal blanking period. 3.2 The aspect ratio of the active picture is entirely determined by the geometry of the pickup and display devices which should be appropriately matched. Parameters specif
10、ied in this standard are not affected by the operational aspect ratio. Typical aspect ratios are 4:3 and 16:9. 4 System colorimetry 4.1 The RGB signals shall be suitable for a color display device having primary colors with the following chromaticities in the CIE SOO2 system of specifications: CAUTI

17、eference reproducer for this system is representative of cathode ray tube displays, which have an inherently nonlinear electro-optical transfer characteristic (see annex B). To achieve an overall system transfer characteristic that is linear, it is necessary to specify compensating nonlinearity else
18、where in the system. This is done at the signal source. For purposes of pre- cision, particularly in digital signal processing applications, exactly inverse characteristics are specified for the reference camera and repro- ducer. The respective transfer characteristics as defined in 5.1.1 and 5.2 sh
19、all be applied to all three channels. It is recognized that operating values may vary from the precise values given in order to meet operational requirements in practical systems. 5.1.1 Electro-optical transfer characteristic of the reference camera shall be: vc = 1 .o99 x Lc Vc = 4.500 x Lc for O 5

23、test signal generator. These video signals are positive going, and each shall have a maximum peak level of 700 mV from blanking level with zero setup. The green signal shall have a negative-going sync pulse of amplitude 300 mV from blanking level that conforms to the timing require- ments of clause

26、ntal blanking and synchronization Each line outside the vertical blanking interval is divided into an active line period and a horizontal blanking interval. The horizontal blanking interval for the green signal contains the negative-going horizontal sync pulse. The remainder of the horizontal blanki
27、ng interval is at blanking level and may be used for signal dc clamping. Horizontal timing is given in table 1 and shown in figure 2. 8 Vertical blanking and synchronization In an interlaced raster, each television frame (one complete scanning of the picture) is divided into two fields. The fields c
28、arry every other scan line in succes- sion with succeeding fields carrying the lines not scanned by the previous field. Each field is divided into an active picture area and a vertical blanking interval. The vertical blanking interval for the green signal contains the vertical synchronizing informat
29、ion surrounded by blanking periods to prop- erly position the vertical sync and by space allocated for special vertical interval signals (equalizing pulses) as shown in figure 3 (optional separate sync is also shown in annex A).

33、ock divided into three, three line long segments. The first segment contains six preequalizing pulses. The second segment contains the vertical synchronizing pulse with six serrations provided to maintain horizontal synchronization. The third segment contains six post- equalizing pulses. The remaind
34、er of the vertical blanking interval not used for the nine-line vertical sync block is available for special vertical interval signals. When such signals are carried on a particular line, the signals must conform to the period between horizontal blanking intervals. When such signals are not carried
35、on a particular line, the line must be maintained at blanking level. 9 Interface characteristics 9.1 Each of the three signals shall be carried on an unbalanced coaxial cable whose nominal impedance is 75 ohms. Preferred channel numbering is Chl = green, Ch2 = blue, Ch3 = red. NOTE - In color-differ
36、ence systems not covered by this standard, Chl = luminance, Ch2 = PE, Ch3 = PR. 9.2 Signal sources shall have an unbalanced output circuit with a source impedance of 75 ohms and a return loss of at least 30 dB over a frequency range of 1 kHz to the maximum of the frequency range used. 9.3 Signal amp
37、litudes shall conform to clauses 4, 5, and 6. 9.4 Any pair of signals in the set shall be time coincident with respect to each other Ir 5 ns when used in a totally component system. When used as the input to an encoder, all signals shall be time coincident with respect to encoder out- put sync, with
38、 adjustments for encoder internal delays. 9.5 The dc offset, as defined by the blanking level of the signal, shall be 0.0 V f 1 .O V. 9.6 The terminating impedance of a receiver signal shall be 75 ohms with a return loss of at least 30 dB over a frequency range of 1 kHz to the maxi- mum of the frequ

44、rmative) Implementation using four channels In some applications, it may be necessary to implement systems using four separate channels rather than the three channels specified in the main body of this standard. Although the three-channel implementation is the preferred method, a four-channel approa
45、ch is provided as defined in this annex. In a four-channel interface, the fourth channel is used to carry the synchronizing signal. The first three channels are used to carry the RGB component signal set. These are identical to the signals used in the three-channel implemen- tation with the exceptio
46、n that sync need not be added to the Annex B (informative) Reference camera and reproducer In clause 5, the electro-optical transfer characteristics of the reference camera and reproducer are defined. These references do not represent the transfer characteristics of real devices; rather, they are ma
47、thematical descriptions of a transfer function, the reproducer being the inverse of the camera leading to a linear system that is convenient for many analyses. Experience has shown that, for the most Annex C (informative) ANSIBMPTE 170M (NTSC) encoders ANSIISMPTE 170M requires an input signal of 714
48、 mV, not the 700 mV of this standard. However, most system M/NTSC encoders have input gain adjustments.

Although sync is not required on any of the video signals, it is not precluded, and system designers are advised to allow for the possibility that sync will appear on one or all of the video signals.
