本标准定义了一种编码方法，允许在标准清晰度或高清晰度位串行分量电视信号的10位垂直辅助（VANC）数据空间中携带Pan扫描信息。根据SMPTE ST 291-1，本标准定义了如何将Pan扫描信息放入辅助数据包中进行传输。相关标准SMPTE ST 2016-2定义了Pan扫描信息的格式，并确定了与之相关的视频图像和接口标准。

This Standard defines a method of coding that allows Pan-Scan information to be carried in the 10-bit vertical ancillary (VANC) data space of a standard definition or high definition bit-serial component television signal. The standard defines how the Pan-Scan information is placed into an ancillary data packet for carriage in accordance with SMPTE ST 291-1.An associated standard, SMPTE ST 2016-2, defines the format for Pan-Scan information and identifies the video image and interface standards with which it is associated.
