本标准规定了D-11型压缩图片、四通道AES3数据和相关数据的记录格式，这些数据在盒式磁带中的12.65毫米（0.5英寸）磁带上形成螺旋记录。本标准还定义了螺旋轨道记录参数、纵向记录的内容和格式以及盒式磁带物理规格。D-11型图片压缩由SMPTE 367M定义。记录格式支持30/1.001 Hz、25 Hz、24 Hz和24/1.001 Hz的帧频。

This standard specifies the format for the recording of type D-11 compressed pictures, four channels of AES3 data, and associated data which form helical records on 12.65-mm (0.5-in) tape in cassettes. This standard also defines the helical track record parameters, the content and format of the longitudinal records, and the cassette physical specifications. Type D-11 picture compression is defined by SMPTE 367M. The recording format supports frame frequencies of 30/1.001 Hz, 25 Hz, 24 Hz, and 24/1.001 Hz.
