Compatible Hierarchy of Studio Standards
This article, after presenting parameters of the different standards, discusses extensions of a hierarchical family of studio standards. It emphasizes the complementary levels of the hierarchy of standards when associated with a ranking of studio equipment. Members of the hierarchy are mainly described by the signal representation of their luminance component. Other levels can be derived from the different options for the color-difference signal representation. Practical considerations on performance and interface aspects allow the selection of the most appropriate options. Further analysis of the practical implementation of digital interfaces shows that some interlace and progressive signal representations can make use of the same equipment. The hierarchy of equipment offers great flexibility in respect to cost or technical constraints, in that the most appropriate standard can be used for the application.
