7. Notes When Creating Content

When creating content (video files) to be used by the HD-V9000, pay attention to the points below, and
be sure to always check operation in the actual equipment.
For details, please refer to the HD-V9000 Content Creation Manual.

7.1. Basic Notes When Creating Video Files

Be sure to encode in a format supported by the HD-V9000.

Formats for decoder specifications used by the HD-V9000 must satisfy the conditions below.
Regular playback is not possible in formats that do not satisfy the conditions below.
1. The only supported container for video files is MPEG2-TS (Transport Stream).
2. Refer to section 7.2 for the supported video formats and audio formats.
3. An audio stream must also be included. If there is no audio, a mute audio stream must
be included.
4. The field order of the interlaced video is TFF (Top Field First).
5. The start of the GOP must include a SH (Sequence Header) for MPEG, and a SPS
(Sequence Parameter Set) for H.264.
6. The cycle for I (IDR) and P picture is 3. (Example: I B B P B B P B B P ....)
 Encoding must be performed using parameters and an encoder where HD-V9000 operation has
been verified.
 A time map table must be used.
A time map table data file (called "map file" below) for conducting searches of video files in the
HD-V9000 is required. The playback start response is also delayed when there is no map file.
Therefore, be sure to always create a map file, and insert it onto the SD card with the video file as a
set.
A map file can be easily created using HD PILOT.
Also, HD PILOT version 2.00 and later include a function that checks if a video file was created in a
HD-V9000-compatible format when creating a map file.
