SMPTE RP 160 : 1997

Defines the physical characteristics of an interface using three parallel channels for the interconnection of equipment operating with analog component HDTV signals. For SMPTE 240M-1995, the signals carried across this interface have a scanning structure of 1125 lines, 60.00 fields per second, 16:9 aspect ratio, and 2:1 interlace. This interface is also appropriate for HDTV signals having other scanning structures. Applicable to signals carried on the connectors described in 7.1 and may not apply to component signals carried on other types of connectors. Also defines the preferred component video signals across the interface, including their waveform structure and levels.
