CSA ISO/IEC 14496-6:02 (R2021)

CSA Preface

Standards development within the Information Technology sector is harmonized with international standards development. Through the CSA Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCIT), Canadians serve as the Canadian Advisory Committee (CAC) on ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 on Information Technology (ISO/IEC JTC1) for the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the ISO member body for Canada and sponsor of the Canadian National Committee of the IEC. Also, as a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Canada participates in the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (ITU-T).

This International Standard was reviewed by the CSA TCIT under the jurisdiction of the Strategic Steering Committee on Information Technology and deemed acceptable for use in Canada. (A committee membership list is available on request from the CSA Project Manager.) From time to time, ISO/IEC may publish addenda, corrigenda, etc. The CSA TCIT will review these documents for approval and publication. For a listing, refer to the CSA Information Products catalogue or CSA Info Update or contact a CSA Sales representative. This Standard has been formally approved, without modification, by the Technical Committee and has been approved as a National Standard of Canada by the Standards Council of Canada.

Scope

This part of ISO/IEC 14496 specifies the Delivery Layer of ISO/IEC 14496, which allows applications to transparently access and view multimedia streams whether the source of the streams is located on an interactive remote end-system, the streams are available on broadcast media or they are on storage media.

In this part of ISO/IEC 14496, the following aspects are covered:

- DMIF communication architecture

- DMIF-Application Interface (DAI) definition

- URL semantic to locate and make available the multimedia streams

- DMIF Default Signalling Protocol (DDSP) for remote interactive scenarios, and its related variations using existing native network signaling protocols

Information flows for player access to streams on remote interactive end-systems, from broadcast media or from storage media.
