A.8 SMPTE ST 2110-20 Uncompressed Progressive Active Video Transfer Syntax

This Transfer Syntax is used in a DICOM-RTV Metadata Flow in order to describe the accompanying [SMPTE ST 2110-20] Video Flow.

DICOM Attributes

are still applicable with some accommodations below.

As DICOM Photometric Interpretation (0028,0004) Values YBR_FULL, YBR_FULL_422, YBR_PARTIAL_420 are based on CCIR 601 (aka BT.601), DICOM-RTV supports only the following:

Table A.8-1 describes the different color resolution.

The way of encoding pixels shall respect SMPTE ST2110-20.

Note

This encoding is different than the encoding of Pixel Data (7FE0,0010). Example, for YBR_FULL_422 10 bits:
