4、ngineers) 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 Documents, including Standards, Recommended Practices, and Engineering Guidelines

5、, 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 and ITU. SMPTE Engineering Documents are drafted in accordance with the

6、 rules given in Part XIII of its Administrative Practices. This SMPTE ST 2041-2 was prepared by Technology Committee 32NF. Intellectual Property At the time of publication no notice had been received by SMPTE claiming patent rights essential to the implementation of this Standard. However, attention

7、 is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. SMPTE shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Introduction This section is entirely informative and does not form an integral part of this Engineering Doc

8、ument. The MPEG Committee of ISO/IEC has produced a number of different audio compression technologies. Each of these is nominally an “emission” codec, which means that its design does not include consideration for maintaining audio quality in multiple decode re-encode cycles. As a result many opera

9、tors will desire to keep the original compressed bitstream intact while routing, switching, and other baseband manipulations are done with associated video signals. The first of these codecs, MPEG-1 Layer I and II audio (documented in ISO/IEC 11172-3) and MPEG-2 Layers I, II, and III audio (document

10、ed in ISO/IEC 13818-3) were intended to be bit-wise compatible within Layers I and II, while MPEG-2 Layer III used “Non-Backwards Compatible” extensions. MPEG-2 Layer III audio has not been widely used in broadcast, however some recent extensions to it have been added via ISO/IEC 14496-3 Subpart 9 w

11、hich may result in wider use. The second of these codecs, MPEG-2 AAC (documented in ISO/IEC 13818-7) is intentionally non-compatible with Layer I, II, or III, and is known as “Advanced Audio Coding.” A second set of documents, which extended MPEG-2 AAC were documented as a part of MPEG-4 in ISO/IEC

12、14496-3. Although MPEG-4 AAC was intended to be backwards compatible with MPEG-2 AAC, no assumption should be made that an MPEG-2 decoder can decode an MPEG-4 AAC bitstream (largely due to the different transport wrappers). When the SBR tool was added to AAC, creating “HE AAC,” it was documented in

13、Amendments to both ISO/IEC 13818-7 and ISO/IEC 14496-3. It should be noted that there are two alternative “wrappers” standardized for AAC/HE AAC, one called ADTS (widely used in Japanese Digital Broadcasting) and the other known as LATM/LOAS, since the MPEG-4 (ISO/IEC 14496-3) AAC codecs introduced

14、new features and capabilities that require a transport format which can signal their contents. In order to be able to pass the audio bitstream without the necessity to do partial decoding to locate flags the wrapper was devised. LATM/LOAS is specified as the wrapper for MPEG-4 SMPTE ST 2041-2:2010 P

15、age 3 of 9 pages AAC/HE AAC audio streams within DVB transport stream broadcasting applications. As a result, this suite of SMPTE standards will document carriage of both. The following suite of SMPTE standards defines the carriage of MPEG compressed audio bitstreams within an AES3 carrier bitstream

17、OAS Wrappers The bitstreams defined in this standard can be carried independently of video as AES3 bitstreams or embedded into SDI or HD-SDI bitstreams in the normal manner specified by other SMPTE standards. SMPTE ST 2041-2:2010 Page 4 of 9 pages 1 Scope This standard specifies an interface format

18、for the transport of MPEG-2 AAC/HE AAC data rate reduced audio streams contained in the ADTS wrapper and placed into an AES3 serial digital audio stream. This Standard supports the MPEG-2 AAC LC Profile, with or without the use of the SBR tools. This Standard is limited to carriage of a single audio

19、 elementary stream. 2 Conformance Notation Normative text is text that describes elements of the design that are indispensable or contains the conformance language keywords: “shall“, “should“, or “may“. Informative text is text that is potentially helpful to the user, but not indispensable, and can

20、be removed, changed, or added editorially without affecting interoperability. Informative text does not contain any conformance keywords. All text in this document is, by default, normative, except: the Introduction, any section explicitly labeled as “Informative“ or individual paragraphs that start

21、 with “Note:” The keywords “shall“ and “shall not“ indicate requirements strictly to be followed in order to conform to the document and from which no deviation is permitted. The keywords, “should“ and “should not“ indicate that, among several possibilities, one is recommended as particularly suitab

22、le, without mentioning or excluding others; 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“ indicate courses of action permissibl

23、e 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 will never be defined in the future. A co

24、nformant 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 need not implement them as described. Unl

25、ess otherwise specified, the order of precedence of the types of normative information in this document shall be as follows: Normative prose shall be the authoritative definition; Tables shall be next; followed by formal languages; then figures; and then any other language forms. 3 Normative Referen

26、ces The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this recommended practice. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this recommended practice

Each Data Burst shall start with a Burst Preamble as defined by SMPTE 337, containing information about the Burst Payload, which shall follow the Burst Preamble. The Burst Payload shall consist of a single ADTS frame. The Burs

35、t Payload shall be followed by enough padding words (which shall be PCM zeros, or digital silence) to make the resulting Data Burst duration exactly match that of 1024 samples of baseband (PCM) audio that the coded audio represents. The resulting Data Bursts shall be placed in the audio sample word/

36、aux data fields of AES3 subframes at regular intervals in either the frame or subframe mode (see SMPTE 337, section 5). Data Bursts shall be placed in the AES3 transport, using either 16, 20, or 24 bits of the available data space. While the 24-bit SMPTE ST 2041-2:2010 Page 6 of 9 pages mode allows

37、more efficient use of the AES3 capacity, the 16 and 20-bit modes allow use with existing equipment limited to 16- or 20-bit operation. A single ADTS Frame shall form the Burst Payload, as shown by Figure 1. Each ADTS Frame begins with an ADTS fixed header, followed by a variable Header, and an optio

38、nal ADTS error check (CRC_check) word, followed by the Raw Data Block of AAC coded audio that represents 1024 samples of baseband (PCM) audio. If the SBR tool (HE AAC) is used, the size of the Raw Data Block is doubled to 1920 or 2048 samples (respectively). The SBR present case is shown in Figure 2

43、7, Table 7) 5.2.1 data_type identifier The data_type identifier shall be set to 7 per Table 1 of SMPTE ST 338, indicating that the audio is coded as an MPEG-2 AAC stream. 5.2.2 data_type_dependent The values of the data_type_dependent bits shall be as shown in Table 1, and as described below. Table

45、G Surround is used SBR Bit 2 shall either be set to 0 to indicate that the SBR tool is not used or set to 1 to indicate that the SBR tool is used in the audio coding. As the ADTS header does not provide any mechanism to explicitly signal the presence of SBR data, such signaling may be either done ou

46、tside the scope of this standard or by partially decoding the MPEG-2 AAC raw data to see if SBR data is present. data_burst_length Bit 3 shall be set to 0 to indicate that the Data Burst is 1024/2048 AES3 frames long (2048 if Bit 2 is 1). mpeg_surround - Bit 4 shall either be set to 0 to indicate th

47、at MPEG Surround is not present or set to 1 to indicate that MPEG Surround is present. 5.2.3 data_stream_number The data_stream_number may be set to any number from 0h to 6h. The value should be 0 (zero) indicating only one program is carried in the AES3 stream. 7h is a reserved value. See SMPTE 337

48、, clause 7.1.3.5. 5.3 Burst Payload The MPEG-2 AAC encoder produces a stream of Raw Data Blocks, as defined by ISO/IEC 13818-7. Each Raw Data Block contains audio data that represents 1024 audio samples of all the audio channels in a single program. The length of the Raw Data Block depends on the en

49、coded bit rate. ADTS fixed and variable headers and an optional ADTS error check (CRC_check) word as defined by ISO/IEC 13818-7 are prepended to the Raw Data Block to form an ADTS frame. Each Burst Payload shall consist of a single ADTS frame.
