ST 402:2003 - SMPTE Standard - For Television — A Data Reduction Method for the MPEG-2 Video Recoding Data Set

This standard specifies a data reduction method for the MPEG-2 video recoding data set for SDTV as defined in SMPTE 327M. The coding information is as derived from an ISO/IEC 13818 compliant MPEG bit stream during the picture decoding process, as described in ISO/IEC 13818-2. — This data-reduced MPEG-2 recoding data set may be transported by various means defined in other SMPTE standards (see annex for further details).
