Common Image Format for International Television Program Exchange

Stanley N. Baron, Kerns H. Powers

A proposal is made for a set of high-definition production and international television program exchange standards that incorporate the concept of common image format (CIF), but also employ a common data rate (CDR) for recording and distribution. The issues of processing headroom, blanking transitions, and line-rate conversion to other formats and standards are examined.
