scope:

This standard defines additional frame rates for D-Cinema that are in addition to the primary frame rates of 24 and 48 frames per second. These additional frame rates are defined to ensure that the artistic intent of the content producer can be maintained at the point of delivery. All other parameters defined by SMPTE ST 428-1 remain as specified.

This document is part 11 of a suite of SMPTE engineering documents. This first part defines the additional frame rates individually at 25, 30, 50, 60, 96, 100 and 120 frames per second and defines the resulting audio samples per edit unit.

Other parts will define further provisions to support the additional frame rates defined by this standard.
