5、f 13 pages Foreword SMPTE (the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) is an internationally-recognized standards developing organization. Headquartered and incorporated in the United States of America, SMPTE has members in over 80 countries on six continents. SMPTEs Engineering Document

6、s, including Standards, Recommended Practices and Engineering Guidelines, are prepared by SMPTEs Technology Committees. Participation in these Committees is open to all with a bona fide interest in their work. SMPTE cooperates closely with other standards-developing organizations, including ISO, IEC

7、 and ITU. SMPTE Engineering Documents are drafted in accordance with the rules given in its Standards Operations Manual. SMPTE ST 2019-4 was prepared by the 31FS Technology Committee. Intellectual Property SMPTE draws attention to the fact that it is claimed that compliance with this Standard may in

8、volve the use of one or more patents or other intellectual property rights (collectively, “IPR“). The Society takes no position concerning the evidence, validity, or scope of this IPR. Each holder of claimed IPR has assured the Society that it is willing to License all IPR it owns, and any third par

9、ty IPR it has the right to sublicense, that is essential to the implementation of this Standard to those (Members and non-Members alike) desiring to implement this Standard under reasonable terms and conditions, demonstrably free of discrimination. Each holder of claimed IPR has filed a statement to

10、 such effect with SMPTE. Information may be obtained from the Director, Standards or that a certain course of action is preferred but not necessarily required; or that (in the negative form) a certain possibility or course of action is deprecated but not prohibited. The keywords “may“ and “need not“

11、 indicate courses of action permissible within the limits of the document. The keyword “reserved” indicates a provision that is not defined at this time, shall not be used, and may be defined in the future. The keyword “forbidden” indicates “reserved” and in addition indicates that the provision wil

12、l never be defined in the future. A conformant implementation according to this document is one that includes all mandatory provisions (“shall“) and, if implemented, all recommended provisions (“should“) as described. A conformant implementation need not implement optional provisions (“may“) and nee

13、d not implement them as described. 3 Normative References Note: All references in this document to other SMPTE documents use the current numbering style (e.g. SMPTE ST 379-1:2009) although, during a transitional phase, the document as published (printed or PDF) may bear an older designation (such as

14、 SMPTE 379-1-2009). Documents with the same root number (e.g. 379-1) and publication year (e.g. 2009) are functionally identical. The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicat

15、ed were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edition of the standards indicated below.

17、at 4 Glossary of Acronyms, Terms and Data Types The general glossary of acronyms, terms and data types used in the MXF specification is given in SMPTE ST 377-1 and is supplemented in SMPTE ST 379-1. These glossaries are not repeated here to avoid any divergence of meaning. Definitions of terms, abbr

18、eviations and symbols relating to VC-3 are given in SMPTE ST 2019-1. 5 Mapping VC-3 into the MXF Generic Container 5.1 VC-3 Coding Summary (Informative) VC-3 is a picture-by-picture coding scheme where each picture is entirely independent and can be extracted as an independent entity. Moreover, the

19、coding units can be simply concatenated to form a sequence of compressed pictures. VC-3 is defined by SMPTE ST 2019-1, VC-3 Picture Compression and Data Stream Format. A VC-3 compressed bit stream is comprised of continuously concatenated Coding Units. A Coding Unit consists of a Header of 640 bytes

20、, a Compressed Payload, and an End-Of-Frame (EOF) signature of 4 bytes. VC-3 Coding Units are concatenated to form Compressed Frames. For progressive-scan video, a Compressed Frame consists of a single Coding Unit. For interlaced video, a Compressed Frame consists of a pair of Coding Units, one for

21、each field. Please refer to SMPTE ST 2019-1 for further details. 5.2 Frame Wrapping (Informative) The “Frame Wrapping“ methods for VC-3 are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. Figure 1 shows a series of images each wrapped in a single Content Package with no other Generic Container Elements in the Conta

22、iner. Each Content Package has the duration of one VC-3 Compressed Frame. 1 CF 1 CF 1 CF 1 CF 1 CF K L V K L V K L V K L V K L V Pictu re Ele m e n t Pictu re Ele m e n t Pictu re Ele m e n t Pictu re Ele m e n t Pictu re Ele m e n t Figure 1 Simple Representation of Frame Wrapping The Frame Wrappin

Each VC-3 Compressed Frame is KLV wrapped using a GC Picture Element Key. In some applications, the Frame Wrapped VC-3 picture data will exist in Content Pac

25、kages with other Elements such as Sound and Data Elements.

In this wrapping mode, the Sound and

27、Data Elements will follow the guidance given in SMPTE ST 379-1, Section 5.4 concerning placement of the synchronized samples in Essence Containers. 5.3 Clip Wrapping (Informative) The “Clip Wrapping“ methods for VC-3 are shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4. In Clip wrapping, KLV encoding wraps the whole

28、of the VC-3 stream that could contain a single frame or thousands of frames. Any other elements in the Generic Container could also be clip wrapped.

29、ded for applications which carry the VC-3 stream as a single large entity. This can be very useful in applications where it is desired to use the rich metadata structures of MXF as an annotation to VC-3 data and also in applications such as store and forward servers which process whole files. The cl

30、ip of VC-3 data is KLV wrapped using an appropriate key as detailed in Section 6. When VC-3 data is Clip wrapped, there could be only one clip per Generic Container. Single Clips can be wrapped as atomic MXF files, for example, using MXF Operational Pattern OP-Atom. Multiple Clips can be concatenate

31、d and edited using the Operational Pattern mechanism detailed in the MXF format document. In some applications, the Clip Wrapped VC-3 data will exist in a Content Package with other Elements such as Sound and Data Elements. An example Generic Container is shown in Figure 4.
