BS EN 62356-2:2004 2005

IEC 62356-2:2011 specifies the compression of a high-definition source format to a dual-channel packetized data stream format which is suitable for recording on disc and tape storage devices including the Type D-11 tape recorder. The specification includes a number of basic packetizing operations including the shuffling of the source data prior to compression, both to aid compression performance and to allow error concealment processing in the decoder. The standard also includes the processes required to decode the compressed Type D-11 packetized data format into a high-definition output signal. This bilingual version, published in 2011-05, corresponds to the English version. It includes corrigendum 1 (2011-05) to the English version. The French version of this standard has not been voted upon.
