Information technology - Generic coding of moving pictures and associated audio information - Part 1: Systems

This Recommendation | International Standard specifies the system layer of the coding. It was developed principally to
support the combination of the video and audio coding methods defined in Parts 2 and 3 of ISO/IEC 13818. The system
layer supports six basic functions:
1) the synchronization of multiple compressed streams on decoding;
2) the interleaving of multiple compressed streams into a single stream;
3) the initialization of buffering for decoding start up;
4) continuous buffer management;
5) time identification;
6) multiplexing and signalling of various components in a system stream.
A Rec. ITU-T H.222.0 | ISO/IEC 13818-1 multiplexed bit stream is either a transport stream or a program stream. Both
streams are constructed from PES packets and packets containing other necessary information. Both stream types
support multiplexing of video and audio compressed streams from one program with a common time base. The
transport stream additionally supports the multiplexing of video and audio compressed streams from multiple programs
with independent time bases. For almost error-free environments the program stream is generally more appropriate,
supporting software processing of program information. The transport stream is more suitable for use in environments
where errors are likely.
A Rec. ITU-T H.222.0 | ISO/IEC 13818-1 multiplexed bit stream, whether a transport stream or a program stream, is
constructed in two layers: the outermost layer is the system layer, and the innermost is the compression layer. The
system layer provides the functions necessary for using one or more compressed data streams in a system. The video
and audio parts of this Specification define the compression coding layer for audio and video data. Coding of other
types of data is not defined by this Specification, but is supported by the system layer provided that the other types of
data adhere to the constraints defined in 2.7.

Informacijska tehnologija - Splošno kodiranje gibljivih slik in pripadajočih avdio informacij - 1. del: Sistemi

To priporočilo | mednarodni standard določa sistemsko plast kodiranja. Razvit je bil predvsem za podporo kombinacije metod kodiranja videa in avdia, opredeljenih v delih 2 in 3 standarda ISO/IEC 13818. Sistemska plast podpira šest osnovnih funkcij:
1) sinhronizacijo več stisnjenih pretokov ob dekodiranju;
2) prepletanje več stisnjenih pretokov v en pretok;
3) inicializacijo shranjevanja v medpomnilnik za zagon dekodiranja;
4) stalno upravljanje medpomnilnika;
5) časovno identifikacijo;
6) multipleksiranje in signaliziranje različnih komponent v sistemskem pretoku.
A Rec. ITU-T H.222.0 | ISO/IEC 13818-1: multipleksirani bitni pretok je bodisi transportni pretok ali programski pretok. Oba pretoka sta konstruirana iz paketov programirljivih elektronskih sistemov (PES) in paketov, ki vsebujejo druge potrebne informacije. Obe vrsti pretoka podpirata multipleksiranje stisnjenih pretokov avdia in videa iz enega programa s skupno časovno osnovo. Transportni pretok dodatno podpira multipleksiranje stisnjenih pretokov avdia in videa iz več programov z neodvisnimi časovnimi osnovami. Za okolja skoraj brez napak je na splošno ustreznejši programski pretok, ki podpira obdelavo programskih informacij s programsko opremo. Transportni pretok je primernejši za uporabo v okoljih, kjer so verjetne napake.
A Rec. ITU-T H.222.0 | ISO/IEC 13818-1: multipleksirani bitni pretok, bodisi transportni pretok ali programski pretok, je konstruiran iz dveh plasti: skrajno zunanja plast je sistemska plast in skrajno notranja plast je stisljiva plast. Sistemska plast zagotavlja funkcije, potrebne za uporabo enega ali več stisnjenih podatkovnih pretokov v sistemu. Deli za avdio in video v tej specifikaciji določajo stisljivo kodirno plast za avdio in video podatke. Ta specifikacija ne določa kodiranja drugih vrst podatkov, vendar ga sistemska plast podpira, če so druge vrste podatkov skladne z omejitvami, opredeljenimi v točki 2.7.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/IEC 13818-1
RECOMMENDATION ITU-T H.222.0
Information technology – Generic coding of moving pictures and
associated audio information: Systems
Summary
This Recommendation | International Standard specifies the system layer of the coding. It was developed in 1994 to
principally support the combination and synchronization of video and audio coding methods defined in ISO/IEC 13818
Part 2 (ITU-T H.262) and Part 3. Since 1994, this standard has been extended to support additional video coding
specifications (e.g., ISO/IEC 14496-2, ITU-T H.264 | ISO/IEC 14496-10, ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2 and
ITU-T T.800 | ISO/IEC 15444-1 Annex M JPEG 2000 video), audio coding specifications (e.g., ISO/IEC 13818-7 and
ISO/IEC 14496-3), system streams (e.g., ISO/IEC 14496-1 and ISO/IEC 15938-1), ISO/IEC 23009-1 dynamic adaptive
streaming over HTTP (DASH), ISO/IEC 13818-11 intellectual property management and protection (IPMP) as well as
generic metadata. The system layer supports six basic functions:
1) the synchronization of multiple compressed streams on decoding;
2) the interleaving of multiple compressed streams into a single stream;
3) the initialization of buffering for decoding start up;
4) continuous buffer management;
5) time identification; and
6) multiplexing and signalling of various components in a system stream.
Recommendation ITU-T H.222.0 | ISO/IEC 13818-1 multiplexed bit stream is either a transport stream or a program
stream. Both streams are constructed from packetized elementary stream (PES) packets and packets containing other
necessary information. Both stream types support multiplexing of video and audio compressed streams from one
program with a common time base. The transport stream additionally supports the multiplexing of video and audio
compressed streams from multiple programs with independent time bases. For almost error-free environments the
program stream is generally more appropriate, supporting software processing of program information. The transport
stream is more suitable for use in environments where errors are likely.
Recommendation ITU-T H.222.0 | ISO/IEC 13818-1 multiplexed bit stream, whether a transport stream or a program
stream, is constructed in two layers: the outermost layer is the system layer, and the innermost is the compression layer.
The system layer provides the functions necessary for using one or more compressed data streams in a system. The video
and audio parts of this Specification define the compression coding layer for audio and video data. Coding of other types
of data is not defined by this Recommendation | International Standard, but is supported by the system layer provided

FOREWORD
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of
telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication
Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical,
operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing
telecommunications on a worldwide basis.
The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years,
establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on
these topics.
The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1.
In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-T's purview, the necessary standards are
prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC.
NOTE
In this Recommendation, the expression "Administration" is used for conciseness to indicate both a
telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency.
Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain
mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the
Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words "shall" or some
other obligatory language such as "must" and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The
use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may
involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence,
validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others
outside of the Recommendation development process.
As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had received notice of intellectual property,
protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers
are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the
TSB patent database at http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for
the different types of document should be noted.
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. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/IEC 13818-1
RECOMMENDATION ITU-T H.222.0
Information technology – Generic coding of moving pictures and
associated audio information: Systems
Summary
This Recommendation | International Standard specifies the system layer of the coding. It was developed in 1994 to
principally support the combination and synchronization of video and audio coding methods defined in ISO/IEC 13818
Part 2 (ITU-T H.262) and Part 3. Since 1994, this standard has been extended to support additional video coding
specifications (e.g., ISO/IEC 14496-2, ITU-T H.264 | ISO/IEC 14496-10, ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2 and
ITU-T T.800 | ISO/IEC 15444-1 Annex M JPEG 2000 video), audio coding specifications (e.g., ISO/IEC 13818-7 and
ISO/IEC 14496-3), system streams (e.g., ISO/IEC 14496-1 and ISO/IEC 15938-1), ISO/IEC 23009-1 dynamic adaptive
streaming over HTTP (DASH), ISO/IEC 13818-11 intellectual property management and protection (IPMP) as well as
generic metadata. The system layer supports six basic functions:
1) the synchronization of multiple compressed streams on decoding;
2) the interleaving of multiple compressed streams into a single stream;
3) the initialization of buffering for decoding start up;
4) continuous buffer management;
5) time identification; and
6) multiplexing and signalling of various components in a system stream.
Recommendation ITU-T H.222.0 | ISO/IEC 13818-1 multiplexed bit stream is either a transport stream or a program
stream. Both streams are constructed from packetized elementary stream (PES) packets and packets containing other
necessary information. Both stream types support multiplexing of video and audio compressed streams from one
program with a common time base. The transport stream additionally supports the multiplexing of video and audio
compressed streams from multiple programs with independent time bases. For almost error-free environments the
program stream is generally more appropriate, supporting software processing of program information. The transport
stream is more suitable for use in environments where errors are likely.
Recommendation ITU-T H.222.0 | ISO/IEC 13818-1 multiplexed bit stream, whether a transport stream or a program
stream, is constructed in two layers: the outermost layer is the system layer, and the innermost is the compression layer.
The system layer provides the functions necessary for using one or more compressed data streams in a system. The video
and audio parts of this Specification define the compression coding layer for audio and video data. Coding of other types
of data is not defined by this Recommendation | International Standard, but is supported by the system layer provided
that the other types of data adhere to the constraints defined in this Recommendation | International Standard.

FOREWORD
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of
telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication
Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical,
operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing
telecommunications on a worldwide basis.
The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years,
establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on
these topics.
The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1.
In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-T's purview, the necessary standards are
prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC.
NOTE
In this Recommendation, the expression "Administration" is used for conciseness to indicate both a
telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency.
Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain
mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the
Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words "shall" or some
other obligatory language such as "must" and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The
use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may
involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence,
validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others
outside of the Recommendation development process.
As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had received notice of intellectual property,
protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers
are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the
TSB patent database at http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/.
