SMPTE 356M-2001

This standard specifies the compression constraints and bit-stream characteristics of an MPEG-2 video elementary stream operating at bit rates up to 50 Mb/s. One of the intended applications is to provide a bit stream compatible with the type D-10 format digital recorder. The video compression format defined and constrained by this standard is fully compliant with the MPEG-2 video standard (ISO/IEC 13818-2 [4:2:2P @ ML]).
