4、 Page 2 of 16 pages Foreword SMPTE (the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) is an internationally-recognized standards developing organization. Headquartered and incorporated in the United States of America, SMPTE has members in over 80 countries on six continents. SMPTEs Engineering

5、 Documents, including Standards, Recommended Practices, and Engineering Guidelines, are prepared by SMPTEs Technology Committees. Participation in these Committees is open to all with a bona fide interest in their work. SMPTE cooperates closely with other standards-developing organizations, includin

6、g ISO, IEC and ITU. SMPTE Engineering Documents are drafted in accordance with the rules given in Standards Operating Manual. SMPTE ST 2021 was prepared by Technology Committee 32NF. Intellectual Property At the time of publication no notice had been received by SMPTE claiming patent rights essentia

7、l to the implementation of this Engineering Document. However, attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. SMPTE shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. SMPTE ST 2101:2015 Page 3 of 16 page

8、s 1 Scope This standard describes how AC-4 data rate reduced (non PCM) audio streams conforming to ETSI TS 103 190 are packed into an AES3 data stream, following the methods described by SMPTE ST 337. The AC-4 data type is identified by a data type number listed in SMPTE ST 338 and carried in the bu

9、rst information word of the data burst preamble. 2 Conformance Notation Normative text is text that describes elements of the design that are indispensable or contains the conformance language keywords: “shall“, “should“, or “may“. Informative text is text that is potentially helpful to the user, bu

10、t not indispensable, and can be removed, changed, or added editorially without affecting interoperability. Informative text does not contain any conformance keywords. All text in this document is, by default, normative, except: the Introduction, any section explicitly labeled as “Informative“ or ind

11、ividual paragraphs that start with “Note:” The keywords “shall“ and “shall not“ indicate requirements strictly to be followed in order to conform to the document and from which no deviation is permitted. The keywords, “should“ and “should not“ indicate that, among several possibilities, one is recom

12、mended as particularly suitable, without mentioning or excluding others; or that a certain course of action is preferred but not necessarily required; or that (in the negative form) a certain possibility or course of action is deprecated but not prohibited. The keywords “may“ and “need not“ indicate

13、 courses of action permissible within the limits of the document. The keyword “reserved” indicates a provision that is not defined at this time, shall not be used, and may be defined in the future. The keyword “forbidden” indicates “reserved” and in addition indicates that the provision will never b

14、e defined in the future. A conformant implementation according to this document is one that includes all mandatory provisions (“shall“) and, if implemented, all recommended provisions (“should“) as described. A conformant implementation need not implement optional provisions (“may“) and need not imp

15、lement them as described. Unless otherwise specified, the order of precedence of the types of normative information in this document shall be as follows: Normative prose shall be the authoritative definition; Tables shall be next; followed by formal languages; then figures; and then any other langua

16、ge forms. 3 Normative References Note: All references in this document to other SMPTE documents use the current numbering style (e.g. SMPTE ST 274:2008) although, during a transitional phase, the document as published (printed or PDF) may bear an older designation (such as SMPTE 274M-2008). Document

17、s with the same root number (e.g. 274) and publication year (e.g. 2008) are functionally identical. The following standards contain provisions that, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this recommended practice. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid.

26、ata stream as a series of Data Bursts. Each Data Burst shall start with a Burst Preamble as defined by SMPTE ST 337, containing information about the Burst Payload, which shall follow the Burst Preamble. The Burst Payload shall consist of an AC-4 Frame. The Burst Payload shall be followed by enough

27、zero padding words to make the resulting Data Burst duration exactly match the duration in samples of baseband (PCM) audio that the AC-4 coded audio represents. The resulting Data Bursts shall be placed in the audio sample word/aux data fields of AES3 subframes at regular intervals in either the fra

28、me or subframe mode (see SMPTE ST 337, Section 5). Data Bursts shall be placed in the AES3 transport, using either 16, 20, or 24 bits of the available data space. While the 24-bit mode allows more efficient use of the AES3 capacity, the 16- and 20-bit modes allow use with existing equipment limited

29、to 16- or 20-bit operation. A single AC-4 Frame shall form the Burst Payload, as shown in Figure 1. As specified by ETSI TS 103 190 and Annex A of this document, each AC-4 Frame begins with a sync word and a frame size field that indicates the size of the following raw AC-4 frame. If the value of th

30、e sync word is AC41h, the raw AC-4 frame is followed by an error check (crc_word) word.

The flag shall be set to 1 if the reference point does not occur at the AC-4 standard repetition rate. This flag is intended to be set to the same state for all data bursts of a g

40、 An AC-4 bitstream consists of a sequence of AC-4 frames. The AC-4 burst-payload shall consist of a single AC-4 frame. The length of the AC-4 data-burst will depend on the encoded bit rate (which determines the AC-4 frame length). The specification for the AC-4 bitstream may be found in ETSI documen

41、t TS 103 190. 5.4 AES3 Frame Rate (Sampling Frequency) The frame rate of the AES3 stream used to transport the AC-4 frames shall be the same as the rate at which the encoded audio was sampled. If multiple AC-4 streams are transported in the same AES3 stream, all the audio represented by these Burst

42、Payloads must be sampled at the same rate. The units of burst-length shall be in bits. The maximum size of an AC-4 burst payload is dependent on the repetition rate of the data-burst, and is specified. The maximum data rates shown in Table 5 take into account the two AES3 frames of padding bits betw

47、AC-4 audio bitstream. As AC-4 supports multiple audio frame rates that match commonly used video frame rates, specifically RP 168, ST 274, ST 296 and ST 2036-1 as appropriate, the transmission device shall ensure that the selected AC-4 data-burst repetition rate is equal to the duration of the AC-4

To ensure that precise time alignment is maintained between the AC-4 data-burst and the AC-4 audio frames at these frame rates, the repetition rate of data-bursts varies so that over a sequenc
