This standard defines the mapping of:
- MODE 1: 4320-line Y′C′BC′R4:2:2 and 4:2:0 10-bit image formats and ancillary data on a Quad-link 6 Gb/s [nominal] SDI bit-serial interface.
- MODE 2: 2160-lineR′G′B′, Y′C′BC′R4:4:4(:4) 10-bit and 4:4:4 12-bit image formats and ancillary data on a Quad-link 6 Gb/s [nominal] SDI bit-serial interface.
- MODE 3: 2160-line Y′C′BC′R4:2:2 and 4:2:0 10-bit Additional Frame Rate Source image formats and ancillary data on a Quad-link 6 Gb/s [nominal] SDI bit-serial interface.
This standard also defines the carriage of the SMPTE ST 352 payload IDs for the Quad-link 6Gb/s SDI interface.
It is not necessary for implementations to include support for all formats that are included in this Standard. Implementers should indicate supported formats in commercial publications.
