Overview
ISO/IEC 13818-6:1998/Amd 1:2000 is an important amendment to the ISO/IEC 13818-6 standard, which extends the generic coding of moving pictures and associated audio (MPEG-2) by incorporating additions to support data broadcasting. This amendment is specifically focused on enhancing the DSM-CC (Digital Storage Media Command and Control) extensions, enabling robust and flexible data broadcast capabilities.
Developed by the joint ISO/IEC technical committee JTC 1, Subcommittee SC 29, this amendment provides critical updates to the MPEG-2 Systems, facilitating the broadcasting of data alongside audio and video in digital television, interactive services, and multimedia applications.
Key Topics
DSM-CC Extensions
The amendment updates the DSM-CC module definitions to better support data broadcasting. Key enhancements include changes to module size semantics and message re-assembly within MPEG-2 Transport Streams.Section Syntax Enhancements
New section types, such as DSMCC_section and DSMCC_Addressable_section, are introduced with additional semantics compatible with the generic ISO/IEC 13818-1:2000 section syntax. This compatibility ensures that existing MPEG-2 decoders can handle DSM-CC extensions seamlessly.Addressable Sections
A new DSMCC_Addressable_section format allows sending encapsulated datagrams to specific devices or groups by embedding a 48-bit deviceId within the section header. This supports device-targeted data delivery with scrambling options for payload and addresses, enhancing security and functionality.Scrambling and Error Detection
The amendment defines payload and address scrambling controls with user-defined scrambling methods. It also introduces both CRC-32 error detection and a 32-bit checksum option for data integrity verification, providing flexibility for different network environments.Table and Stream Type Revisions
Updates to table identifiers and stream type assignments better classify multi-protocol encapsulation, DSM-CC messages, stream descriptors, and private data, optimizing transport stream handling for data broadcasting.
Applications
ISO/IEC 13818-6:1998/Amd 1:2000 is crucial for:
Digital Television Broadcasting
Enables broadcasters to transmit interactive applications, software updates, electronic program guides, and multimedia content alongside traditional audio and video streams.Multimedia and Interactive Services
Supports delivery and targeted addressing of multimedia data, allowing interactive content tailored to specific receivers or groups, enhancing user engagement and service customization.Data Broadcasting Networks
Provides a standardized framework to support data broadcasting over MPEG-2 transport streams, useful in satellite, cable, and terrestrial broadcast infrastructures.Set-Top Boxes and Receivers
Implements device-specific data reception and processing by embedding deviceId for address filtering, improving functionality in consumer electronics.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission)
form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC
participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the
respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees
collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this Amendment may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Amendment 1 to International Standard ISO/IEC 13818-6:1998 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee

AMENDMENT 1: Additions to support data broadcasting
1) Replace the semantic definition of DownloadInfoIndication moduleSize in subclause 7.3.2 with the following:
"
The moduleSize field is the length, in bytes, of the described module. A value of zero indicates that the module
size is not specified.

ISO/IEC 13818-1:2000 sections to support additional DSM-CC requirements. Called DSMCC_section and
DSMCC_Addressable_section, the syntax is compatible with the generic section syntax so that compliant MPEG-2
Systems decoders may be used.
