5、5:2013 SMPTE STANDARD Mapping EBU TECH 3264 (STL) into the MXF Generic Stream Container SMPTE ST 2075:2013 Page 2 of 14 pages Foreword SMPTE (the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) is an internationally-recognized standards developing organization. Headquartered and incorporated in

6、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, are prepared by SMPTEs Technology Committees. Participation in these Committees is open to all with a bona fid

7、e 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 rules given in Part XIII of its Operations Manual. SMPTE ST 2075 was prepared by Technology Committee 31FS. Int

8、ellectual 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 is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. SMPTE shall not b

9、e held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. SMPTE ST 2075:2013 Page 3 of 14 pages 1 Scope This document provides the specification on how to carry binary EBU TECH 3264 (STL) files into the MXF Generic Stream Container using the MXF Generic Stream Partition defined in SMPTE ST 4

10、10. This document specifies the Generic Stream Partition Pack, Generic Stream Data Element KLV coding and Essence Descriptors for STL files. The document also defines how to link to STL essence which is external to an MXF file. 2 Conformance Notation Normative text is text that describes elements of

11、 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 be removed, changed, or added editorially without affecting interoperability. Informative te

12、xt 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 with “Note: The keywords “shall“ and “shall not“ indicate requirements strictly to be follo

13、wed 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 suitable, without mentioning or excluding others; or that a certain course of action is preferred b

14、ut 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 permissible within the limits of the document. The keyword reserved indicates a provision that is not d

15、efined 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 conformant implementation according to this document is one that includes all mandatory provisions (“

16、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. Unless otherwise specified, the order of precedence of the types of normative information in this docu

17、ment 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 References Note: All references in this document to other SMPTE documents use the current numbering style

18、(e.g. SMPTE ST 336:2007) although, during a transitional phase, the document as published (printed or PDF) may bear an older designation (such as SMPTE 336M-2007). Documents with the same root number (e.g. 336) and publication year (e.g. 2007) are functionally identical. The following standards cont

19、ain provisions that, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applyin

20、g the most recent edition of the standards indicated below.

21、 Material Exchange Format Generic Stream Partition 4 Definition of Acronyms, Terms and Data Types For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in SMPTE ST 377-1 and SMPTE ST 410 and the following apply. GSI: General Subtitle Information (according to EBU TECH 3264). STL: EBU st

22、andard subtitle data exchange format (according to EBU TECH 3264). STL Generic Stream Partition: A Generic Stream Partition that carries EBU STL data. TTI: Text and Timing Information (according to EBU TECH 3264). 5 General EBU STL files store the subtitle data as binary data. For the mapping of thi

23、s binary data into an MXF file, one or more Generic Stream Partitions that are defined in SMPTE ST 410 shall be used. One complete EBU STL file shall be mapped into one Generic Stream Partition as a single binary stream. For the mapping into MXF, one EBU STL file shall not be divided. If multiple ST

24、L files are being mapped into one MXF file, each STL file shall be stored in an individual Generic Stream Partition. Each Generic Stream Partition shall be associated with a single Stream ID value. 5.1 Header Metadata Following the provisions in SMPTE ST 410, in MXF files that store both audio-visua

25、l essence and STL data internally, there shall be one Top-Level File Package be present for each Essence Container and each Generic Stream. Hence, the Operational Pattern of such an MXF file shall be OP 1b or higher. For MXF files that store either the audio-visual essence or the STL data outside th

26、e MXF file but still link to this external essence (see Section 10), there shall be one Top-Level File Package be present for each Essence Container and each Generic Stream. Hence, the Operational Pattern of such an MXF file shall be OP 1b or higher as well. For MXF files that store only STL essence

27、 in one MXF file and do not link to any other external essence, the Operational Pattern of such an MXF file shall be OP 1a. Note: Figure 1 illustrates an example of an MXF file layout with one internal Essence Container (in Body Partition 1) and one internal STL essence (in Generic Stream Partition

28、1). The order of Partitions is not defined, therefore, Generic Stream Partitions can exist before and/or after Body Partitions.

31、ctly one Timeline Track (Data). The Track Number of this track shall be the last four bytes of the Generic Stream Data Element key which is defined in Section 7.1. This Timeline Track (Data) shall be described by a STL Essence Descriptor which is defined in Section 8. Each Top-Level Source Package t

32、hat links to one STL Generic Stream Partition (via the Essence Container Data set) shall also link to exactly one Timeline Track (Timecode) present. This track provides the time reference for the STL essence. The value of the property Origin of this Timeline Track (Timecode) shall be set to zero. Th

33、e value of the property Edit Rate of this track shall be set to the value of the Disk Format Code (DFC) inside the GSI block of the linked STL file and shall follow the rules given in Table 1.

35、mponent. Hence, there cannot be any timecode discontinuities. The value of the property Start Timecode in this Timecode Component shall define the start time code of this Top-Level Source Package which links to a Generic Stream Partition that carries STL data.

42、 STL Reference Point Timecode The STL Reference Point Timecode property provides the time reference mechanism into the STL data. The value of this property shall be the same as the Time Code Start-of-Programme (TCP) inside the STL GSI block. 6.3 STL SubDescriptor STL Essence SubDescriptors shall be

43、used in order to describe multiple languages that are stored in a single STL file which is mapped into a single MXF file. Note: The intention of EBU STL was to store subtitle information for exactly one language inside one STL file. However, there exist EBU STL files that store more than one languag

44、e into one file by using different lines for different languages, e.g. the first line of subtitles provides English Subtitles, and the second line provides French Subtitles. This work-around is possible for language combinations that use the same code page. Item Name Type Len Local Tag Item Designat

47、 a decimal, one-based counter and shall identify the line from top to down. Since the first STL line (line number = 1) is used for the primary language and is being described by the STL Essence Descriptor (see Section 6.2), the value of the element line number for the 1st STL Essence SubDescriptor s

48、hall be 2. Note: Figure 3 illustrates an example in which three different languages (English, French, and German) are stored in one STL instance. On the right side of Figure 3 the corresponding STL Essence Descriptor and two STL Essence SubDescriptors are shown. SMPTE ST 2075:2013 Page 9 of 14 pages
