5、 ST 381-3:2013 Page 2 of 21 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. SMPT
6、Es 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 fide interest in their work. SMPTE cooperates closely with other standards-developing organizat
7、ions, 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 381-3 was prepared by Technology Committee 31FS. Intellectual Property At the time of publication no notice had been received by SMPTE claiming
8、 patent rights essential for the implementation of this Engineering Document. 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 be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. SMPTE ST 381
9、-3:2013 Page 3 of 21 pages 1 Scope This standard specifies the mapping of all AVC coding data as defined in ISO/IEC 14496-10 | Rec. ITU-T H.264 into the Material Exchange Format Generic Container (MXF-GC) based on the MXF MPEG mapping standard (SMPTE ST 381-2). This standard does not apply to Annexe
10、s G (SVC) or H (MVC) of the AVC standard. The mapping of SVC and MVC might be covered by other SMPTE documents. This standard also does not support the AVC file format (ISO/IEC 14496-15). This document specifies the carriage of parameter sets in an AVC essence stream In-band. The MXF specification i
11、s written in several parts. This is an MXF mapping specification that defines header metadata sets and values, essence container elements and index table application. In order to achieve interoperability within any given Operational Pattern, restrictions may be placed on the way in which this Generi
12、c Container type can be implemented. The reader is advised to carefully study the appropriate Operational Pattern document before implementation. 2 Conformance Notation Normative text is text that describes elements of the design that are indispensable or contains the conformance language keywords:
13、“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 text does not contain any conformance keywords. All text in this document is, by def
14、ault, 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 followed in order to conform to the document and from which no deviation is permitted.
15、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 but not necessarily required; or that (in the negative form) a certain possibility
16、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 defined at this time, shall not be used, and may be defined in the future. The keyw
17、ord 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 (“shall“) and, if implemented, all recommended provisions (“should“) as described. A
18、 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 document shall be as follows: Normative prose shall be the authoritative definition; T
19、ables shall be next; followed by formal languages; then figures; and then any other language forms.

30、ng Summary The AVC (Advanced Video Coding) standard defined in the ISO/IEC 14496-10 | Rec. ITU-T H.264 has been developed as an advanced high performance compression technology. In the AVC coding streams, the bit stream can be in one of two formats: the NAL unit stream or the byte stream. The NAL un
31、it stream format consists of a sequence of NAL unit syntax structures. The byte stream format can be constructed from the NAL unit stream by prefixing each NAL unit with a start code prefix and zero or more zero-valued bytes to form a stream of bytes. 5.2 Requirements of Mapping AVC Streams into MXF
32、 The specification on the MXF AVC mapping was developed using a number of fundamental requirements. These requirements are the following: SMPTE ST 381-3:2013 Page 6 of 21 pages The mapping needs to support the NAL unit stream format and the byte stream format. AVC streams need to be wrapped using th
33、e MPEG Picture Element Key as defined in SMPTE ST 381-2. The Picture Element can contain all variants of AVC coding streams using frame-wrapping, clip- wrapping, or custom wrapping. The mapping needs to support carriage of sequence parameter sets and picture parameter sets In-band. Full details of t
34、he precise AVC stream need to be specified in the Essence Descriptor and AVC coding variants need to be specified in the Picture Essence Coding Label. A Sub-Descriptor needs to be specified to give information on AVC streams. This document meets the above requirements for the MXF mapping of the AVC
35、streams. 6 Mapping the AVC Streams to the MXF Generic Container The mapping of the AVC stream shall use the MXF Generic Container in the Frame-based wrapping, Clip-based wrapping or the Custom wrapping as defined in SMPTE ST 379-1 and SMPTE ST 379-2. 7 Key-Length-Value Coding 7.1 Picture Element Key
36、 AVC streams shall be wrapped using the MPEG Picture Element Key as defined in SMPTE ST 381-2. The values of the first 12 bytes of the Essence Element Key are defined in SMPTE ST 379-1 and SMPTE ST 379-2. The values of the last four bytes of the Picture Element Key are given in Table 1. Table 1 Key

39、.2 Picture Element Length The length field of the KLV coded Element shall be 4 bytes BER long-form encoded (i.e. 83h.xx.yy.zz) for Frame wrapping. The length field of the KLV coded Element shall be 8 bytes BER long-form encoded (i.e., 87h.aa.bb.cc.dd.ee.ff.gg) for Clip wrapping. For Custom wrapping,
40、 the length field shall be constant for all Edit Units of the essence container and shall be either 4 bytes or 8 bytes as appropriate. SMPTE ST 381-3:2013 Page 7 of 21 pages 7.3 Picture Element Value The Picture Element Values shall be the AVC NAL unit stream or the AVC byte stream. The bit streams
41、carried in the Value field shall contain complete NAL units including their relevant parameter sets, other Supplemental Enhancement Information (SEI) and padding zeroes. Note: Stream format is defined in the Byte 14 of the Essence Container Label described in Section 8.1. If a field-encoded stream i
42、s frame-wrapped, the Value field shall contain two fields, with a frame comprising a pair of fields, and byte 15 of the Picture Element Key shall be 05h (frame-wrapped). The Edit Rate of the Track that links such an Essence Container Element shall equal the frame rate. If a field-encoded stream is f
43、ield-wrapped, the Value field shall contain a single field, and byte 15 of the Picture Element Key shall be 05h (frame-wrapped). The Edit Rate of the Track that links such an Essence Container Element shall equal the field rate. The frame-wrapping or the field-wrapping shall be signaled by the Essen
44、ce Container Label (see Table 2). 8 SMPTE Label Values 8.1 Essence Container Label This Essence Container Label is the UL value carried in the Essence Containers Properties of the Partition Packs, Preface Set and File Descriptor. The values of the Essence Container Label for the AVC coding shall be
