Overview
EN 60774-5:2004 (IEC 60774-5:2004) specifies the requirements for a helical-scan video tape cassette system using 12.65 mm (0.5 in) magnetic tape on type VHS - Part 5: D-VHS. The standard applies specifically to MPEG TS (Transport Stream) packet recording on D-VHS media and defines the physical cassette and tape, track configuration, data structure, recording method and the MPEG-TS format used for D-VHS recordings. EN 60774-5:2004 was adopted by CENELEC and aligns the D-VHS format with international audiovisual and digital broadcasting standards.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Physical media: Specification of the VHS-type cassette and 12.65 mm magnetic tape used for D-VHS applications.
- Track configuration: Rules for helical-scan track layout on the tape to ensure reliable read/write of digital transport streams.
- Data structure: Definition of how MPEG TS packets are organized on tape, including system-level structures needed for playback and indexing.
- Recording method: Procedures and constraints for recording MPEG TS packets using helical-scan mechanics to preserve signal integrity.
- MPEG Transport Stream format: Requirements for recording digital broadcast-style streams (MPEG-2 / related ISO/IEC systems) so D-VHS media can reliably store/restore broadcast, program and multiplexed data.
- Interoperability: References to related coding, audio and service information standards to maintain compatibility with broadcast and post-production workflows.
Applications and who uses this standard
- Broadcasters and content distributors: For recording broadcast MPEG TS feeds, time-shifting and content delivery using D-VHS media.
- Equipment manufacturers: Designers of D-VHS decks, helical-scan recorders and tape mechanisms rely on the standard for mechanical and data-format compatibility.
- Media archivists and preservationists: Organizations archiving digital transport streams on magnetic tape for long-term storage or migration.
- Test & compliance labs: For conformance testing of D-VHS devices and verification of recorded MPEG TS integrity.
- System integrators: When incorporating D-VHS recording/playback in broadcast chains or transport-stream capture systems.
