Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been prepared by the Network Aspects (NA)
Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
The draft was agreed by a coding experts group including personnel from the European Broadcasting
Union (EBU) and approved by the ETSI NA Technical Committee.
The draft was then approved under the ETSI Accelerated approval Procedure No. 3 (AP 3). However, due
to technical improvements and reasons of compatibility with CCITT "CCIR Joint Study Group" - CMTT/2
work, alterations were submitted for National Voting using ETSI Vote No. 26. The nationally agreed
changes are incorporated into this ETS.
The draft constitutes a common standard for the coding and transmission of television signals in the range
of 34 - 45 Mbit/s, in the format specified by CCIR Recommendation 601 [1], and is in line with other
relevant CCIR and CCITT Recommendations as referenced.
Annexes A, B, C and D are informative.

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) constitutes a common standard for the coding and
transmission of component television signals at bit-rates in the range of 34 - 45 Mbit/s in the format
specified by CCIR Recommendation 601 [1]. The standard embraces the coding algorithm needed for
digital picture coding at about 34 and 45 Mbit/s, and their interfaces with the transmission network. The
video coding algorithms are based on a hybrid predictive/transform scheme incorporating arrangements for
Variable word-Length Coding (VLC), synchronisation and video framing. Provision is made for the
transmission of audio and teletext services to accompany the video and for the application of scrambling
for conditional access.
Network adaptation is specified to both plesiochronous and synchronous digital hierarchies.
