Overview

ISO/IEC 14496-1:2010/Amd 1:2010 is an important amendment to the international standard governing the coding of audio-visual objects, specifically focusing on Part 1: Systems within the MPEG-4 standard. This amendment introduces the usage of LASeR (Lightweight Application Scene Representation) in MPEG-4 systems and establishes a Registration Authority for MPEG-4 descriptors. It enhances interoperability and standardization by defining code point allocations and administrative procedures for registering private data formats within MPEG-4 systems.

This amendment is essential for developers and organizations working with MPEG-4 multimedia systems, ensuring consistent integration of LASeR streams and the formal administration of descriptor registrations, which facilitates broader adoption and compatibility across multimedia platforms.

Key Topics

  • Usage of LASeR in MPEG-4 Systems
    LASeR, defined in ISO/IEC 14496-20:2008, is a key addition in this amendment. It is designed for efficient representation and delivery of rich media content, optimized for resource-constrained devices. This amendment assigns specific objectTypeIndication and streamType values for LASeR streams, supporting their integration in MPEG-4 systems.

  • Code Point Revisions for MPEG-4 Descriptors
    The amendment revises several tables within ISO/IEC 14496-1 by reallocating code points:

    • Descriptor tags and command tags are now partly reserved for a Registration Authority to manage private format identifiers.
    • ObjectTypeIndication, StreamType, and SLConfigDescriptor values have specified ranges for Registration Authority use versus ISO use.
  • Registration Authority for MPEG-4 Descriptors
    A formal Registration Authority is defined to manage the registration of MPEG-4 code points used for private data formats. This authority:

    • Processes applications for unique registered identifiers (RIDs).
    • Maintains an accurate, publicly available register of allocated identifiers.
    • Oversees the proper use and potential revision of registered descriptors.
    • Facilitates technical transparency by providing access to registered data format information.
  • Application and Appeal Procedures
    The amendment outlines clear procedures for applying for a RID, including the required application details and responsibilities of applicants. It also establishes an appeal process for denied requests through the Registration Management Group (RMG).

  • Compliance and Intellectual Property
    The document highlights compliance with ISO/IEC directives and notes the potential presence of patent rights, emphasizing adherence to licensing policies.

Applications

  • Multimedia System Development
    The amendment enables system architects and developers to efficiently incorporate LASeR streams within MPEG-4 environments, facilitating enhanced interactive multimedia presentations on diverse devices, especially those with limited resources.

  • Private Data Format Registration
    Organizations creating proprietary data formats or extensions within MPEG-4 can obtain unique identifiers through the Registration Authority, ensuring formal recognition and interoperability.

  • Streamlining Descriptor Management
    Establishing a Registration Authority helps standardize descriptor and command tag allocations, simplifying integration and compliance checking in software development, media players, and streaming platforms.

  • International Standardization
    By clarifying and regulating code point assignments at the international level, the amendment supports uniform implementation across nations and industries.

Related Standards

  • ISO/IEC 14496-1:2010 – The base standard for MPEG-4 Systems, defining the structure and protocols for coding audiovisual objects.

  • ISO/IEC 14496-20:2008 – Specifies LASeR and SAF streams; the amendment references clauses from this part to define LASeR integration.

  • ISO/IEC JTC 1 Directives – Governs the procedures for international standardization and registration, including roles of Registration Authorities.

  • Other MPEG-4 Parts (ISO/IEC 14496 series) – Related parts covering audiovisual coding, scene description, and media delivery complement the system-level definitions addressed here.

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. In the field of information
technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. 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 document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
