8.2.13 Constraints For SMPTE ST 2110-20 Uncompressed Active Video For DICOM-RTV

This section describes the constraints applying to Pixel Data carried in the DICOM-RTV Flow (separated from DICOM-RTV Metadata Flow) and fully described in [SMPTE ST 2110-20] .

The following table describes constraints on the [SMPTE ST 2110-20] Video Flow in terms of the valid Values for the corresponding DICOM Attributes in the DICOM-RTV Metadata Flow:

DICOM Photometric Interpretation is based on CCIR 601 (aka ITU-R BT.601), therefore some restrictions apply to the possible combination of Sampling System and Colorimetry parameters as stated by [SMPTE ST 2110-20] .

Some other [SMPTE ST 2110-20] parameter combinations do not correspond to existing DICOM photometric interpretations, so their use is currently not permitted. Table 8.2.13-3 lists the unsupported combinations.
