Overview
EN 61834-9:2001 (CLC) - "Recording - Helical-scan digital video cassette recording system using 6,35 mm magnetic tape for consumer use - Part 9: DVB format" defines how Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) content is formatted and recorded on 6.35 mm helical-scan digital video cassette systems (525-60, 625-50, 1125-60 and 1250-50). It aligns with IEC 61834-9:2001 and covers the content, format and recording method for the data blocks that form helical records on tape. The standard addresses recording of single DVB programmes delivered either via a digital interface or a built-in tuner (IRD). DVB data in this context are carried as an MPEG-2 transport stream (TS) that may contain one or more programmes.
Key topics and requirements
The standard focuses on practical specification rather than high-level concepts. Key technical topics include:
- Data block content and format: definitions of the data blocks that form helical records on 6.35 mm tape.
- Recording method: how DVB data (MPEG-2 TS) is written to helical tracks on consumer digital video cassette recorders.
- Single programme recording: rules and constraints for recording a single DVB programme from an MPEG-2 transport stream.
- Input sources: handling DVB input either from a digital interface or from a built-in tuner / IRD.
- Audio, video and system data handling: organising and mapping MPEG-2 TS elementary streams and associated system information into tape data blocks.
- Compatibility scope: applied to consumer systems listed (525-60, 625-50, 1125-60, 1250-50) and compliant VCR products.
(Note: the standard text should be consulted for exact block structures, sync methods and error-management procedures - this summary does not reproduce those specifics.)
Applications
EN 61834-9:2001 is practical for:
- Designing and manufacturing consumer helical-scan digital video cassette recorders that record DVB programmes.
- Implementing firmware/software that maps MPEG-2 transport streams to tape-recordable data blocks.
- Interoperability and conformance testing of recorders that accept DVB input via digital interfaces or built-in IRD tuners.
- Technical documentation, user manuals and service/repair guides for legacy consumer tape recorders supporting DVB recording.
- Archival workflows where DVB programmes need to be preserved on 6.35 mm digital cassette media.
Who uses this standard
- Consumer electronics manufacturers and hardware engineers
- Firmware and software developers for digital recorders
- Test laboratories and conformity assessors
- Broadcasters and archiving professionals working with tape-based copy/backup systems
- Standards bodies and technical writers documenting video recording systems
