本标准定义了将表1中列出的3840x2160和4096x2160像素的图像格式映射为80位虚拟接口的八个并行10位数据流（称为数据流一、数据流二、数据流三、数据流四、数据流五、数据流六、数据流七和数据流八），然后通过四个20位虚拟接口将这八个10位数据流映射到四链路3 Gb/s串行接口（3G-SDI链路1、链路2、链路3和链路4）。本标准还定义了辅助数据的传输，如音频数据、音频控制数据包、有效载荷标识符和时间码。实现不需要包括对本标准中包含的所有格式的支持。实施者应在商业出版物中指出支持的格式。

This standard defines the mapping of the image formats of 3840x2160 and 4096x2160 pixels listed in Table 1 into eight parallel 10-bit data streams (known as data stream one, data stream two, data stream three, data stream four, data stream five, data stream six, data stream seven and data stream eight) of an 80-bit virtual interface, followed by the mapping of these eight 10-bit data streams onto the Quad Link 3 Gb/s Serial Interface (3G-SDI Link 1, Link 2, Link 3 and Link 4) via four 20-bit virtual interfaces.This standard also defines the carriage of ancillary data such as the audio data, the audio control packets, the Payload Identifier and the time code.It is not necessary for implementations to include support for all formats that are included in this standard. Implementers should indicate supported formats in commercial publications.
