ITU Standards
 
ITU624-4

ITU-R BT470
An international standard for the PAL composite analog television system
 
ITU-R601
An international standard for component digital television from which was derived SMPTE 125M and EBU 3246-E standards. ITU-R601 defines the sampling systems, matrix values and filter characteristics for both Y, B-Y, R-Y and RGB component digital television signals. This document was formerly known as CCIR-601. and may be referred to informally as 601 or Rec 601
 
ITU-R656
The physical parallel and serial interconnect scheme for ITU-R601. ITU-R656 defines the parallel connector pinout as well as the blanking, sync and multiplexing schemes used in both parallel and serial interfaces. It reflects definitions found in EBU TECH 3267-E (for 625 line systems) and SMPTE 125M (parallel 525 line systems) and SMPTE 259M (serial 525 line systems). This document was formerly known as CCIR-656
 
ITU-R709
An international standard for high definition component digital television from which was derived SMPTE 274M and SMPTE 296M standards. ITU-R709 defines the sampling systems, matrix values and filter characteristics for both Y, B-Y, R-Y and RGB high definition component digital television signals. This document may be referred to informally as 709 or Rec 709

SMPTE Standards

SMPTE 12M-1
The SMPTE standard for the Time and Address Control signal in widespread use in the professional video and audio industries. SMPTE 12M-1 defines the specifications for both Linear Time Code (LTC) and Vertical Interval Time Code (VITC).
 
SMPTE 12M-2
The SMPTE Recommended Practice for transmitting Time code in the ancillary data space of serial digital television signals
 
SMPTE 125M
The SMPTE standard for bit parallel digital interface for component video signals. SMPTE 125M defines the parameters required to generate and distribute component video signals on a parallel interface for 525 line video systems
 
SMPTE 170M
The SMPTE standard for the NTSC composite analog television signals
SMPTE 244M

SMPTE 309M
The SMPTE standard for the encoding Date and Time Zone information into SMPTE 12M-1 Time code signals
 
SMPTE 310M
Television - Synchronous Serial Interface for MPEG-2 Digital Transport Streams
 
SMPTE 349M
Television - Transport of Alternate Source Image Formats through SMPTE 292M
 
SMPTE 372M
The SMPTE standard for the dual link 1.485 Gb/s serial digital interface for High Definition television signals
 
SMPTE 424M
The SMPTE standard for the nominal 3Gb/s serial digital interface for High Definition television signals
RP 165
The SD-SDI Error Detection Handling protocol is defined by SMPTE RP 165-1994 and the equivalent ITU standard ITU-R BT.1304
 
RP 168
The SMPTE Recommended Practice for the definition of the vertical interval switching point for synchronous video switching. This recommended practice also defines a default alignment between standard definition and high definition synchronizing pulse signals
