Content Support in MPEG‐2 Systems
Jan van der Meer · 2014
This chapter provides an overview of the system issues related to carriage of content in MPEG-2 system streams. For some content formats supported by MPEG-2 systems, but considered insufficiently relevant for usage by MPEG-2 system applications, a brief description is provided. The support of MPEG-1 video in MPEG-2 systems is very similar to the support of MPEG-2 video. The chapter provides parameters values signalling an ITU-T H.222.1 defined stream. It discusses the content support for Multimedia and Hypermedia Experts Group (MHEG) and MPEG-4 systems. In a broadcast environment, SVC (which is an AVC extension), can be used to extend an existing service in a bandwidth efficient manner. The chapter also discusses the content support needed for 3D videos and JPEG 2000 video. It also provides an overview of the stream-type values assigned for the signalling of content carried in a MPEG-2 system stream.
