Abstract
This document specifies the packetization scheme for encapsulating
the compressed digital video data streams commonly known as "DV" into
a payload format for the Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP).
1. Introduction
This document specifies payload formats for encapsulating both
consumer- and professional-use DV format data streams into the Real-
time Transport Protocol (RTP), version 2 [6]. DV compression audio
and video formats were designed for helical-scan magnetic tape media.
The DV standards for consumer-market devices, the IEC 61883 and 61834
series, cover many aspects of consumer-use digital video, including
mechanical specifications of a cassette, magnetic recording format,
error correction on the magnetic tape, DCT video encoding format, and
audio encoding format [1]. The digital interface part of IEC 61883
defines an interface on an IEEE 1394 network [2,3]. This
specification set supports several video formats: SD-VCR (Standard
Definition), HD-VCR (High Definition), SDL-VCR (Standard Definition -
Long), PALPlus, DVB (Digital Video Broadcast) and ATV (Advanced
Television). North American formats are indicated with a number of
lines and "/60", while European formats use "/50". DV standards
