Overview

EN 60856:1993/A2:1997 (adopted as SIST EN 60856:1999/A2:1999) is a European amendment to the IEC standard for pre-recorded optical reflective videodisk systems - commonly called Laser vision - specified for the 50 Hz / 625 lines – PAL television system. The amendment (A2, 1997) updates mechanical, optical, video and audio-related parameters and adds an optional digital audio implementation for Laser Vision (LV) disks.

Key topics and technical requirements

Highlights of technical content introduced or clarified by Amendment A2:

  • Mechanical parameters

    • Single-disk thickness: 1.1 mm – 1.4 mm; double-disk clamping thickness and single-disk clamping tolerances specified.
    • Label rules: allowed on both sides for double disks; protective-layer-side label mandatory for single disks. Inner label diameter 35–38 mm; outside diameter 86–100 mm (single-disk protective side up to 300 mm).
    • Radial angle (θ) tolerance: ±1° between surface normal and optical axis (see figure 2).
  • Optical/readout

    • Numerical aperture of readout lens: NA = 0.40 ± 0.01.
    • Birefringence (double pass) limit: ≤ 40° max.
  • Environmental

    • Disks must meet requirements after exposure to 5 °C – 45 °C and 5% – 90% RH for 4 days.
  • Video formatting and signals

    • Vertical Interval Test Signals (VITS) and reserved lines for address/data and subtitles defined (lines and placement per PAL LV).
    • CLV picture numbering scheme for frame identification and hang-up detection.
  • Digital audio (new clause 13)

    • Optional implementation based on EFM encoding (per IEC 60908), with specified low-pass and high-pass filtering and pre-emphasis characteristics.
    • Low-pass frequency and group delay requirements (e.g., up to 1.6 MHz ±0.5 dB, steep attenuation beyond 2.3 MHz).
    • Modulation: symmetrical double-edge pulse-width modulation; EFM level in recorded spectrum around –27 dB ±1 dB relative to main carrier.
    • Block Error Rate (BLER): averaged over any 10 s ≤ 8×10⁻² (recommended ≤ 3×10⁻²).
    • Sample frequency derived from PAL line rate (formula provided).
  • Subcode and TOC

    • Subcode and Table of Content (TOC) mapping to LV chapters/tracks; mappings reference IEC 60908(-2) conventions (P-frame codes for stereo/bilingual).

Applications and intended users

This standard is intended for:

  • Manufacturers of Laser Vision (pre-recorded optical reflective videodisk) media and players
  • Optical disk production and quality assurance laboratories
  • Broadcasters, archives and media preservation services ensuring playback compatibility

13  Implementation of a digital audio signal
This clause specifies the implementation of a digital audio signal as an optional addition to the

13.1
Signal modulation
13.1.1  General
The EFM signal, as defined in IEC 60908, prior to modulation, is filtered by a low-pass filter
with a frequency response as detailed in 13.1.2, a high-pass filter with a response as shown in
figure 25, and shall have a pre-emphasis as detailed in figure 25. The digital signal is a
symmetrical double edge pulse width modulated onto the main carrier and recorded on the disk
as shown in figure 23.
60856 Amend. 2 © IEC:1997 – 11 –
13.1.2  Low-pass filter (see figure 24)
a) The frequency response shall be as follows:
1) up to 1,6 MHz ±0,5 dB (ref. 0,5 MHz)
2) 1,75 MHz (–3 ± 0,5) dB
3) 2 MHz (–26 ± 2) dB
4) >2,3 MHz < –50 dB
b) The group delay shall be as follows:
1) <0,5 MHz (0 ± 20) ns (ref. 0,5 MHz)
2) 0,8 MHz (–50 ± 20) ns
3) 1 MHz (–100 ± 50) ns
4) 1,2 MHz (–180 ± 50) ns
5) 1,4 MHz (–350 ± 75) ns
NOTE – This group delay is a predistortion for the low-pass filter of the player.
13.1.3  Pre-emphasis
The EFM signal prior to modulation shall have a pre-emphasis according to figure 25.
13.1.4  High-pass filter
The EFM signal prior to modulation shall be filtered by a high-pass filter according to figure 25.
13.1.5  Modulation of the filtered EFM signal
The filtered EFM signal shall be a symmetrical double edge pulse width modulated on the main
carrier.
The level of this modulated EFM signal in the recorded frequency spectrum shall be –27 dB
± 1 dB with respect to the unmodulated main carrier when no audio signal in present during
digital silence (see figure 26).
13.1.6  Block error rate (BLER)
13.1.6.1  Definitions
See 11.1.1, section three
