scope:

This standard defines two raster-scanning systems for the representation of stationary or moving two-dimensional images sampled temporally at a constant frame rate. The first image format specified is 1920 x 1080 samples (pixels) inside a total raster of 1125 lines. The second image format specified is 1280 X 720 samples (pixels) inside a total raster of 750 lines. Both image formats shall have an aspect ratio of 16:9. This standard specifies an analog interface having Y', P'_B, P'_R color encoding.

presents all the permissible scanning systems for this standard. A compliant interface shall implement one or more of these scanning systems.

The intended uses of this interface should be:

• For interconnection between High Definition Television (HDTV) Receiver Decoder set top boxes and compatible television receivers or monitors.

• For interconnection between HDTV Digital Cable TV set top boxes (STBs) or Satellite DBS Receiver Decoders, and compatible television receivers or monitors.

• For interconnection of equipment to complete, self-contained analog component video systems of relatively small size.

This standard applies to signals carried on the connectors described in section 9 and may not apply to component signals carried on other types of connectors.

Annex A (informative) contains information concerning raster apertures.
