Table 1 lists the preamble biphase-mark data pat-
terns and what each designates. Since bi-
phase-mark encoding is not polarity conscious,
both phases are shown in the table. Preambles "X"
and "Y" indicate a sub-frame containing
channels A and B respectively. Preamble "Z" re-
places preamble "X" once every 192 frames to in-
dicate the start of a channel status block.

There are two channel status blocks, one for
channel A and one for channel B. Since there are
192 frames in a block, each channel has a channel
status block 192 bits long. These 192 channel sta-
tus bits in a block can be arranged as 24 bytes. The
blocks have one of two formats, professional or
consumer. The first bit of the channel status block
defines the format with 0 indicating consumer and
1 indicating professional.

Channel Status Block - Professional Format

Setting the first bit of channel status high desig-
nates the professional or broadcast format. The
channel status block structure for the professional
format is illustrated in Figure 5 and shows bit 0 of
byte 0, PRO, to contain a one. Tables 2 and 3 list
the bits in each byte and their meaning. The areas
designated "reserved" in the figures and tables, are
currently not specified and must be set to 0 when
transmitting. Most of the professional format data
was obtained from the AES3-1985 document, and
information from AES3-199x. Since the AES spec-
ification is currently being updated, the accuracy of
this data is not guaranteed.
