Overview
ISO/IEC 14496-5:2001/Amd 12:2007 is an amendment to the international standard for information technology focused on coding of audio-visual objects. This document updates Part 5 of the MPEG-4 standard, specifically the reference software used for file formats. As part of the joint ISO and IEC efforts, this amendment modernizes the reference software, ensuring alignment with current technology and industry needs.
Developed by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29, which specializes in coding for audio, picture, multimedia, and hypermedia information, this amendment replaces the existing mp4_file_format folder within the systems directory of the original 2001 standard. It reflects the latest file format improvements and integrates contributions from key industry providers such as Apple Inc.
Key Topics
- Reference Software Update: The core update involves replacing the older MP4 file format reference software with the newest version, enabling improved implementation and testing of MPEG-4 file formats.
- Standardization of Audio-Visual Object Coding: Ensures consistent techniques for coding and decoding audio-visual data across different platforms and devices.
- File Format Compatibility: Enhances compatibility and interoperability in multimedia file handling, supporting widespread industry adoption.
- Contribution from Industry Leaders: Inclusion of providers like Apple Inc. supports industry alignment and access to cutting-edge implementations.
- Copyright and Licensing Notices: Adheres strictly to copyright laws and Adobe licensing policies for embedded typefaces, ensuring legal compliance for users and developers.
Applications
- Multimedia Software Development: Developers of audio-visual applications rely on this reference software to implement MPEG-4 compliant codecs and file handlers.
- Media Player and Editing Tools: Enables media players and editing software to correctly process MP4 files according to the latest standards.
- Digital Broadcasting and Streaming Services: Supports standardized file formats for delivering high-quality audio and video streams.
- Research and Innovation in Coding Technologies: Provides a baseline reference for academic and industry research on audio-visual coding techniques.
- Quality Assurance and Testing: Facilitates testing for MPEG-4 compliance, interoperability, and performance across various systems.
Related Standards
- ISO/IEC 14496 (MPEG-4) Series: Part 1 (Systems), Part 2 (Visual), Part 3 (Audio), and related amendments cover comprehensive multimedia coding standards.
- ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29 Standards: Includes JPEG, MPEG-2, and AVC/H.264 standards that complement MPEG-4 specifications.
- ISO/IEC Directives Part 2: Guidelines for drafting and maintaining international standards, underpinning the development of this amendment.
- Industry-Specific Standards: For digital broadcasting, streaming protocols, and multimedia container formats that build upon the MPEG-4 foundation.
Keywords: ISO/IEC 14496-5, MPEG-4, audio-visual coding, reference software, MP4 file format, multimedia standard, ISO amendment, file format update, digital media coding, ISO/IEC JTC 1, Apple Inc integration, multimedia interoperability.
