This Standard defines the mapping of:

• MODE 1: 4320-line Source image formats and ancillary data into a Quad-link 12 Gb/s [nominal] SDI bit-serial interface

• MODE 2: 2160-line Y′C′_BC′_R or R′G′B′ 4:4:4:4 10-bit or 4:4:4 10-bit or 12-bit Additional Frame Rate (AFR) Source image formats and ancillary data into a Quad-link 12 Gb/s [nominal] SDI bit-serial interface

This Standard also defines the carriage of the SMPTE ST 352 payload ID’s for the Quad-link 12Gb/s SDI interface.

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.
