What is PD IEC TS 62871‑2 Professional video storage products about?  
PD IEC TS 62871‑2 is a part of IEC 62871, which is a technical specification, that specifies implementation guidelines for mapping MPEG-2 video and AVC streams into MXF file format for professional tape-less camera recorders.
The guidelines are applicable to the creation of an MXF file in professional tape-less camera recorders. They are also applicable for content management software and to equipment that supports MXF files generated by professional tape-less camera recorders.

Why should you use  PD IEC TS 62871‑2 Professional video storage products?  
The professional camera recorder has evolved from a traditional tape-based system into a file-based system, taking advantage of recent advances in information technology. Instead, of using conventional magnetic tape as the recording medium, video and audio streams can now be stored as files that can be read directly by a personal computer (PC).
Since the MXF file format provides a multiplicity of functions and options to satisfy the needs of various applications in a range of situations, it is important to address interoperability issues between equipment. Therefore, it is essential for interoperability that there is an appropriate Technical Specification that specifies guidelines for MXF implementations and operational usage. The IEC 62871 series gives encoding guidelines for professional tape-less camera recorders using the MXF file format to ensure interoperability.
PD IEC TS 62871‑2, which gives guidelines for mapping MPEG-2 and AVC Streams into MXF files which are used for professional tape-less camera recorders. PD IEC TS 62871‑2 also recommends constraints for professional tape-less camera recorders.
