Standard Name | Multimedia Coding Specification for Digital Broadcasting (Second Generation) |
General Description | This standard specifies the data coding scheme and the language specification for the multimedia coding scheme, as the second generation multimedia coding scheme for digital broadcasting. This standard is applicable to advanced wide band satellite digital broadcasting. This standard comprises two volumes. Volume 1 has three parts. Volume 1 Part 1, 2 and 3 specify the reference model for data broadcasting, mono-media coding, and coding of closed caption and superimpose, respectively. Volume 2 specifies the language specification for the multimedia coding scheme. |

Ver. | Amendment or Enactment Date | Amendment summary |
---|---|---|
2.3 | 10.29.2024 | In volume 2, the broadcasting extension functions were implemented to realize the linkage between the advanced digital satellite broadcasting services and the applications not specified in this standard. |
2.2 | 07.30.2019 | In the Volume 1, the following revisions are implemented. ・Adding a ligature of the new era "Reiwa" (characters that contain two characters within a character width), in Part 2 which defines the character encoding system. ・Deleting the description about the transmission method of the resource file that is transmitted simultaneously with the ARIB-TTML document in order to match the transmission description with the operation related to caption presentation, in Part 3 which defines the subtitle / superimpose encoding system. ・Adding the description that the transmission method of the resource file which is transmitted simultaneously with the ARIB-TTML document is specified in the Technical Report. |
2.1 | 01.21.2019 | In the Volume 1, the following revisions are implemented. ・Correcting the typographical errors about the namespace in Part 3, which defines the subtitle / superimpose encoding system, and making them consistent with the relevant Techniccal Report. In the Volume 2, the following revision is implemented. ・Correcting the typographical errors that the specified data type description format for event information in the multimedia coding system language specification differs from the interface description language (WebIDL), and making them consistent with the relevant Techniccal Report. |
2.0 | 10.11.2018 | In the Volume 1, the following revisions are implemented. ・Addition of the terminal linkage function in Part 1 which defines the reference model. ・Clarification of subtitle compression method in Part 3 which defines subtitle / superimpose encoding method. ・Addition of the full text XML Schema. ・Addition of the normative references and abbreviations. ・Addition of the MIME Type definition for use in communication services. In the Volume 2, the following revision is implemented. ・Addition of the broadcasting extension functions to realize the terminal linkage functions added in Volume 1 which specifies the multimedia coding system language. ・Addition of the recording / playback status judgment function and the data event update notification function into the broadcasting extension functions, which are required for the multimedia service realization of Advanced Digital Satellite Broadcasting. The version number is set to 2.0 due to a major revision. |
1.9 | 04.12.2018 | In the Volume 1, the following revisions are implemented. ・Change the reference of additional symbols for EPG, which is assumed to be used in Advanced Digital Satellite Broadcasting, from Unicode Standard to ISO / IEC standard in accordance with the issuance of ISO / IEC 10646: 2017. ・Updating the relevant sections in Chapter 5 and Description 2 related to the above revision. In the Volume 2, the following revision is implemented. ・Clarification of the handling about component_tag in the namespace among the broadcast extensions required for the multimedia service realization of Advanced Digital Satellite Broadcasting in the multimedia coding language specification. EPG:Electronic Program Guide |
1.8 | 01.22.2018 | In the Volume 1, the following revision is implemented. ・Clarification of the receiver reference model by adding the definition of the term “application engine” in the reference model specified in Part 1. In the Volume 2, the following revision is implemented. ・Clarification of the provision about time-out for communication functions assuming TCP / IP among the broadcast extensions required for the multimedia service realization of Advanced Digital Satellite Broadcasting in the multimedia coding language specification. TCP/IP:Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol |
1.7 | 07.27.2017 | In character encoding schemes defined in Part 2 of Volume 1, the use of "variant selector" and "variant sequences" is added to handle variants. |
1.6 | 09.29.2016 | Revision of Volume 1 is addition of signs for EPG that are anticipated in advanced wide band digital satellite broadcasting from signs prescribed in chapter 2. Revision of Volume 2 is addition of stipulation that is enable to get pay/free information about present/next program services related additional expansion functions in EPG for advanced wide band digital satellite broadcasting. And addition of prescribed clarification and description about the arguments of a function for EPG. EPG:Electronic Program Guide |
1.5 | 07.06.2016 | Amendment in Volume 1 Part 1 is that in the supposed reference model of multimedia coding, accompanying by addition of high dynamic range (HDR) technology to advanced wide band satellite digital broadcasting, dynamic range transform function for coexistence with standard dynamic range (SDR) signal is added, and transform formula of color gamut is planned to be consistent with new recommendation on transform formula of color gamut in ITU-R. Amendment in Part 2 is that in order to clarify letter repertoire in mono-media coding, when making multimedia application and so on using letter repertoire which is provided in this standard, it is so modified not to be misunderstood. Amendment in Volume 2 is that in the language specification for multimedia coding system, the record is set to be consistent according to the amendment of reference standard (W3C specification) about provision of local storage area. HDR: High Dynamic Range SDR: Standard Dynamic Range W3C: World Wide Web Consortium |
1.4 | 03.25.2016 | Property is separated and redefined which is differently treated per transmission system, notice of event update is added, and new elements are added to application control information by XML format. |
1.3 | 12.03.2015 | Record about CAS-related API is added, and rule of naming property about extension function is added. CAS: Conditional Access System API: Application Programming Interface |
1.2 | 07.03.2015 | Extension function for broadcasting is added and modified, the provision on storage control for data resource is added, and misprints are corrected. |
1.1 | 03.17.2015 | In Volume 1 Part 2, Part 3, misprints are corrected, and function is added which was a lack. In Volume 2, provision on local storage function is added, some are modified according to the reconsideration of API, some are modified according to the amendment of external related standard, misprints are corrected, and so on, |
