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
