9、s for ITU-T H.300-series terminals Amendment 1 Support for Constrained High, Scalable Constrained Baseline and Scalable Constrained High ITU-T H.264 profiles Summary Recommendation ITU-T H.241 defines the use of advanced video codecs, including those based on Recommendation ITU-T H.264, in ITU-T H.3
10、00-series terminals, including ITU-T H.310, ITU-T H.320, ITU-T H.321, ITU-T H.322, ITU-T H.323 and ITU-T H.324 terminals. It also defines generic extended signalling for use with all video codecs in the ITU-T H.300-series terminals. This revised version introduces a number of enhancements and clarif
11、ications to the previous version. Clarification concerns primarily the description on the signalling for ITU-T H.264 Annex G Scalable Baseline and Scalable High Profiles, a procedure for selecting the operating point of a scalable video coding (SVC) video stream, and the Capability Class of ITU-T H.
12、241 capabilities. This version incorporates clause 6.2.5 introduced in ITU-T H.241 (2006) Amd. 1 (2008), allowing for the negotiation of particular video submodes of ITU-T H.264 encoding. It also incorporates clause 8.3.2.14, defining a new optional ITU-T H.264 capability parameter (MaxFPS), and App
13、endix II which contains non-normative examples describing the use of clause 6.2.5. Clause 8.3.2.14 and Appendix II were both introduced in ITU-T H.241 (2006) Amd. 2 (2009). Amendment 1 to this Recommendation extends the AdditionalModesSupported parameter of the ITU-T H.264 capability specified in cl
14、ause 8.3.2.12, to include support for the Constrained High, Scalable Constrained Baseline, and Scalable Constrained High ITU-T H.264 profiles.

16、2012)/Amd.1 (06/2012) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T i
17、s responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study b
18、y the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a coll
19、aborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain cert
20、ain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express require
21、ments. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right.
22、 ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had received notice of intellectual p
23、roperty, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database at http:/www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/.

34、d horizontal width and the intended vertical height of a displayed picture. Picture aspect ratio is expressed as h:v, where h is horizontal width and v is vertical height (in arbitrary units of spatial distance). For the purposes of this definition, a picture is the complete displayed image (includi
35、ng both fields in the case of interlaced-scan video). For example, the picture aspect ratio for a common intermediate format (CIF) picture according to ITU-T H.263 is 4:3. 3.2.2 sample aspect ratio: The ratio between the intended horizontal distance between the columns and the intended vertical dist
36、ance between the rows of the luma sample array in a frame. Sample aspect ratio is expressed as h:v, where h is horizontal width and v is vertical height (in arbitrary units of spatial distance). For the purposes of this definition, a sample is an individual luma picture element (pixel) making up the
37、 complete displayed image (including both fields in the case of interlaced-scan video). For example, the sample aspect ratio for a CIF picture according to ITU-T H.263 is 12:11. 3.2.3 terminal: A terminal is any end point and may be a users terminal or some other communication system such as a multi
38、point control unit (MCU) or an information server. Rec.
