The standard constitutes a common standard for the coding and transmission of component television signals at bit-rases in the range of 34-45 Mbit/s in the format specified by CCIR Recomendation 601. The standard embraces the coding algorithm needed for digital picture coding at about 34 and 45 Mbit/s, and their interfaces with the transmission network. The video coding algorithms are based on a hybrid predictive/transform scheme incorporating arrangements for variable word-length coding (VLC)...
