Intellectual Property At the time of publication no notice had been received by SMPTE claiming patent rights essential to the implementation of this Engineering Document.

Introduction This section is entirely informative and does not form an integral part of this Standard. There is a need in the industry to have an inter
11、face for transporting stereoscopic images complying with the 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 10-bit or 12-bit image formats referenced by SMPTE ST 425-3, each of which can be transported by a dual-link SMPTE ST 424 serial interface. Each Left Eye and Right Eye image is mapped onto four data streams according to the
12、 rules defined in SMPTE ST 425-3. The resulting eight data streams are then mapped into four 3G SDI links. Figure 1 gives an overview of the image mappings for 1080-line images and Figure 2 gives an overview of the image mappings for 2160-line images. SMPTE ST 425-6:2014 Page 3 of 16 pages Figure 1

21、interface consisting of pairs of four data streams based on the SMPTE ST 425-3 data structures. The Left eye images are carried on four data streams of the interface and the Right eye images are carried on the other four data streams. The Left eye and Right eye images are each mapped onto the respec
22、tive four data streams in accordance with the mapping rules of SMPTE ST 425-3. The stereoscopic image formats to be transported using this standard are the 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 image formats enumerated in SMPTE ST 425-3. Mapping structures for the video essence and ancillary data are as defined in SMPTE
23、ST 425-3. This standard also defines the carriage of ancillary data such as the audio data, the audio control packets, the payload identifierand the time code. It is not necessary for implementations to include support for all image formats, nor is it a requirement to support both mapping modes to c
24、onform to this standard. Implementers are encouraged to indicate supported formats and supported mapping modes in commercial publications. 2 Conformance Notation Normative text is text that describes elements of the design that are indispensable or contains the conformance language keywords: “shall“
25、, “should“, or “may“. Informative text is text that is potentially helpful to the user, but not indispensable, and can be removed, changed, or added editorially without affecting interoperability. Informative text does not contain any conformance keywords. All text in this document is, by default, n
26、ormative, except: the Introduction, any section explicitly labeled as “Informative“ or individual paragraphs that start with “Note:” The keywords “shall“ and “shall not“ indicate requirements strictly to be followed in order to conform to the document and from which no deviation is permitted. The ke
27、ywords, “should“ and “should not“ indicate that, among several possibilities, one is recommended as particularly suitable, without mentioning or excluding others; or that a certain course of action is preferred but not necessarily required; or that (in the negative form) a certain possibility or cou
28、rse of action is deprecated but not prohibited. The keywords “may“ and “need not“ indicate courses of action permissible within the limits of the document. The keyword “reserved” indicates a provision that is not defined at this time, shall not be used, and may be defined in the future. The keyword
29、“forbidden” indicates “reserved” and in addition indicates that the provision will never be defined in the future. Unless otherwise specified, the order of precedence of the types of normative information in this document shall be as follows: Normative prose shall be the authoritative definition; Ta
30、bles shall be next; followed by formal languages; then figures; and then any other language forms. 3 Normative References The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this standard.

For 1080-line images, the 40
44、-bit virtual interfacefor each Le and Re image shall be constructed in accordance with either the Level A, or the Level B-DL mappings defined in SMPTE ST 425-3. For 2160-line images, the 40-bit virtual interfacefor each Le and Re image shall be constructed in accordance with the 2160-line mapping de
45、fined in SMPTE ST 425-3. Refer to SMPTE ST 425-3 for details of the mapping structures and mapping modes for each format. 6.1 1080-Line Level A Mapping Mode 6.1.1 Image Mapping Structures The 1080-line source images shall be mapped into the 40-bit virtual interface of each Le and Re image according
46、to the Level A mapping rules defined in SMPTE ST 425-3. 6.1.2 1080-Line Level A Mapping Mode Audio Data When present, audio data shall be mapped into the HANC space of the Le and Re virtual interface, according to the Level A audio mapping rules defined in SMPTE ST 425-3 which specifies the number o
47、f audio channels that can be mapped into each Le and Re virtual interface. The audio data shall be mapped onto the Le virtual interface first and any remaining data shall then be mapped onto the Re virtual interface. In some applications, audio data of the Le interface may be duplicated in the Re in
48、terface. Audio channel usage shall be further signaled using the payload identifier as defined in Section 7 of this document. In the case where the Re interface is carrying a duplicate of the Le interface audio, the audio data and control packets shall be an exact replica of the audio carried in the
49、 Le interface specifically the Re interface audio shall use the same audio groups as applied to the Le interface audio. The payload identifier associated with each Le and Re interface shall indicate whether the audio data contained in the Re interface is a copy of the Le interface audio, or whether additional audio channels are being carried in the Re interface.
