IEC 61834-8 pdf download Recording – Helical-scan digital video cassette recording system using 6,35 mm magnetic tape for consumer use (525-60, 625-50, 1125-60 and 1250-50 systems) Part 8: PALplus format for the 625-50 system
1 General
1.1scope
This part of lEC 61834 is an extension of the SD specification (SD mode) and covers thefeatures necessary to enable a DVCR to record and reproduce PALplus signals.
While all DVCRs must have the capability of recording and/or playback in SD (SP) mode,PALplus capability is optional.
For this Part 8, the data structure of a track is defined by APT = 000b which consists of fourareas as described in 4.3.2 in lEC 61834-1 and AP1 = AP2 = AP3 = 000b.
There are two methods for recording the PALplus signal on a DVCR:
– method 1: record the partially encoded PALplus signal;
– method 2: record the completely decoded PALplus signal.
This part is concerned with “Method 1” (baseband helper recording) as this requires anextension to the DVCR SD specification lEC 61834-2.
For “Method 2” the DVCR is equipped with a built-in PALplus decoder and the SD specificationIEC 61834-2 applies unchanged.

Test conditions and environment
Same as IEC 61834-2.
2 Helical recordings
Same as 625-50 system in IEC 61834-2.
3 Programme track data arrangement
Same as 625-50 system in IEC 61834-2.
4 Audio interface
Same as IEC 61834-2.
5 Video interface
The principal mode of interface is analogue. The analogue video signal shall be converted according to 7.4.1 in IEC 61834-2.
The video signal may also be input and output digitally in a bit-serial form. When the bit-serial interface for this standard is prepared, the data structure for transmission shall conform to clause 11.
