BS EN 61883-3:2005

What is this BS EN 61883-3 - Consumer audio / video equipment about?  

BS EN 61883-3 discusses consumer audio/video equipment and digital interface with a focus on HD-DVCR data transmission. BS EN 61883-3 is the third part of the BS EN 61883 multi-series on consumer audio/video equipment that specifies the packet format and the transmission timing for HD-DVCR data. BS EN 61883-3 describes the specifications for the IEEE 1394 packet, the CIP header for 1125-60 and 1250-50 television systems, and the transmission timing. 

Who is BS EN 61883-3 - Consumer audio / video equipment for? 

BS EN 61883-3 on consumer audio /video equipment is useful for: 

• Manufacturers of products that provide audio output (televisions, phones) 
• Audio equipment manufactures  
• Audio programmers  
• Music producers 
• Sound technicians 
• Recording and dubbing studios  
• Regulatory bodies 

Why should you use BS EN 61883-3 - Consumer audio / video equipment?  

The transmission order of data within one video frame is defined. For high-speed transmission, the transmission order of each video frame data shall follow the time sequence. The structure of the CIP header for the HD-DVCR data stream is the same as the structure of the CIP header for the SD-DVCR data stream.  

BS EN 61883-3 discusses the construction of IEEE 1394 packet, packetization of source packet of the HD-DVCR data stream, the transmission order of video frames for high-speed transmission, CIP header for HD-DVCR data stream, and transmission timing. This will help you with the transmission timing for HD-DVCR data. 

What’s changed since the last update?
