Overview
ISO/IEC 13818-6:1998/Amd 2:2000 is an important international standard issued by ISO and IEC that extends the MPEG-2 Systems specification. It focuses on the Generic Coding of Moving Pictures and Associated Audio Information with specific extensions for the Digital Storage Media Command and Control (DSM-CC) protocol. Amendment 2 introduces critical additions that support synchronized download services, opportunistic data services, and resource announcements in broadcast and interactive environments.
This amendment enhances the ability to manage non-streaming synchronized downloads, opportunistic broadcast data distribution, and the dynamic announcement of system resources, enabling more efficient multimedia broadcast and interactive services delivery.
Key Topics
DSM-CC Synchronized Download Protocol Adaptation Format
Defines a new adaptation type to support synchronized, non-streaming download delivery aligned with MPEG-2 Transport Stream timing using Presentation Time Stamps (PTS).Opportunistic Data Services
Incorporates the SMPTE 325M Opportunistic Flow Control Protocol to maximize bandwidth usage by broadcasting additional data during available timeslots dynamically. This flow control facilitates real-time management between a data server and transport multiplexer.Resource Announcement and Descriptor Enhancements
New resource descriptors support discovery and management of program elements and communication channels, including:- Deferred MPEG Program Element Descriptor for referencing elements across different transport streams
- Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Resource Descriptor to announce IPv6 communication channels
- URL Resource Descriptor to reference internet URLs
- DHCP Resource Descriptor for DHCP message transport
Stream Type Extensions
Addition of new DSM-CC stream types, notably supporting the synchronized download protocol (stream_type 0x14), ensuring compatibility and correct stream identification.Network Model Restrictions
Specifies that the synchronized download protocol applies exclusively to Network Model 4, enforcing consistent implementations.Transport Stream Packet Constraints
Details on packet encapsulation rules for DSM-CC synchronized downloads to ensure correct parsing and synchronization.
Applications
Broadcast Multimedia Systems
Enhances broadcast services by enabling synchronized downloads of content modules, critical for interactive TV and multimedia on-demand applications.Interactive Services Delivery
Facilitates opportunistic data delivery in interactive setups, optimizing available bandwidth for data bursts without interrupting continuous streaming content.Network Resource Management
Improves client-server resource negotiation through advanced descriptors supporting IP-based communication, program element referencing, and network protocol configurations.Hybrid Broadcast-Broadband (HBB) Environments
Supports hybrid networks by providing structured resource announcements and control mechanisms essential for combining broadcast and broadband interactions.IP-Enabled Multimedia Systems
Provides standard descriptors for IPv6 connections, URL access, and DHCP messaging within the MPEG-2 transport framework, enabling seamless IP communications in multimedia services.

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.

9) After Table 2-2, add the following statement:
"
The SMPTE 325M Opportunistic Flow Control Protocol is used for communication between a data server and an
MPEG-2 emission multiplexer in support of opportunistic data services. Opportunistic data services attempt to fill
any bandwidth available in the emission multiplex with broadcast data on a nearly instantaneous basis. In such a
situation, the SMPTE 325M Flow Control Protocol is used by the emission multiplexer to request data packet
