SMPTE ST 2016-4 – Vertical Ancillary Data Mapping of Pan-Scan Information

This Standard defines a method of coding that allows Pan-Scan information to be carried in the 10-bit vertical ancillary (VANC) data space of a standard definition or high definition bit-serial component television signal. The standard defines how the Pan-Scan information is placed into an ancillary data packet for carriage in accordance with SMPTE ST 291-1.

An associated standard, SMPTE ST 2016-2, defines the format for Pan-Scan information and identifies the video image and interface standards with which it is associated.
