BS EN 60774-5 discusses a helical-scan video tape cassette system using 12,65 mm (0,5 in) magnetic tape on type VHS with a focus on D-VHS. BS EN 60774-5 is the fifth part of the BS EN 60774 multi-series on the recording that applies to the MPEG TS (Transport Stream) packet recording for helical-scan video tape cassette system using 12,65 mm magnetic tape on type VHS.
BS EN 60774-5 specifies the cassettes, the tape, the track configuration, the data structure, the recording method, and the MPEG TS format for D-VHS. D-VHS is formatted on the basis of the VHS system, aiming for digital data recording. D-VHS basic format, which is commonly used in various types of data recording application, is specified.
BS EN 60774-5 on helical-scan video tape cassette system is useful for:
D-VHS records the MPEG TS packets directly compatible with digital broadcast systems. D-VHS has three recording modes according to the data-rate: STD (Standard), HS (High Speed) and LS (Low Speed/four types), to accommodate various digital broadcasts and needs. MPEG2 recording format for D-VHS including trick play is specified.
BS EN 60774-5 covers the technical details pertaining to the magnetic tape used in the D-VHS system, including technical descriptions other than those specified. The recording characteristics are specified based on the standard tape “SRT-1 (S-VHS standard tape)”.
BS EN 60774-5 discusses fundamental specifications, MPEG2 format, D-VHS MPEG format, D-VHS MPEG transport stream specification, and D-VHS MPEG transport stream service information specification.
