All Rights Reserved. + +Abstract + + This memo specifies an RTP payload format for encapsulating + uncompressed High Definition Television (HDTV) as defined by the + Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) standard, + SMPTE 292M. SMPTE is the main standardizing body in the motion + imaging industry and the SMPTE 292M standard defines a bit-serial + digital interface for local area HDTV transport. + +1. Introduction + + The serial digital interface, SMPTE 292M [1], defines a universal + medium of interchange for uncompressed High Definition Television + (HDTV) between various types of video equipment (cameras, encoders, + VTRs, etc.). SMPTE 292M stipulates that the source data be in 10 bit + words and the total data rate be either 1.485 Gbps or 1.485/1.001 + Gbps. + + The use of a dedicated serial interconnect is appropriate in a studio + environment, but it is desirable to leverage the widespread + availability of high bandwidth IP connectivity to allow efficient + wide area delivery of SMPTE 292M content. Accordingly, this memo + defines an RTP payload format for SMPTE 292M format video. + + + +Gharai, et al. Standards Track [Page 1] + +RFC 3497 RTP Payload Format for SMPTE 292M Video March 2003 + + + It is to be noted that SMPTE 292M streams have a constant high bit + rate and are not congestion controlled. Accordingly, use of this + payload format should be tightly controlled and limited to private + networks or those networks that provide resource reservation and + enhanced quality of service. This is discussed further in section 9. + + This memo only addresses the transfer of uncompressed HDTV. + Compressed HDTV is a subset of MPEG-2 [9], which is fully described + in document A/53 [10] of the Advanced Television Standards Committee. + The ATSC has also adopted the MPEG-2 transport system (ISO/IEC + 13818-1) [11]. Therefore RFC 2250 [12] sufficiently describes + transport for compressed HDTV over RTP. + +2. Overview of SMPTE 292M + + A SMPTE 292M television line comprises two interleaved streams, one + containing the luminance (Y) samples, the other chrominance (CrCb) + values. Since chrominance is horizontally sub-sampled (4:2:2 coding) + the lengths of the two streams match (see Figure 3 of SMPTE 292M + [1]). In addition to being the same length the streams also have + identical structures: each stream is divided into four parts, (figure + 1): (1) start of active video timing reference (SAV); (2) digital + active line; (3) end of active video timing reference (EAV); and (4) + digital line blanking. A SMPTE 292M line may also carry horizontal + ancillary data (H-ANC) or vertical ancillary data (V-ANC) instead of + the blanking level; Likewise, ancillary data may be transported + instead of a digital active line. + + The EAV and SAV are made up of three 10 bit words, with constant + values of 0x3FF 0x000 0x000 and an additional word (designated as XYZ + in figure 2), carrying a number of flags. This includes an F flag + which designates which field (1 or 2) the line is transporting and + also a V flag which indicates field blanking. Table 1, further + displays the code values in SAV and EAV. After EAV, are two words, + LN0 and LN1 (Table 2), that carry the 11 bit line number for the + SMPTE 292M line. The Cyclic Redundancy Check, CRC, is also a two + word value, shown as CR0 and CR1 in figure 2. + + +------------+-----------------------+-----+---------------------+ + | | Digital Line Blanking | | Digital Active Line | + | EAV+LN+CRC | (Blanking level or | SAV | (Active Picture or | + | | Ancillary Data) | | Ancillary Data) | + +------------+-----------------------+-----+---------------------+ + + Figure 1.

Currently, source video + formats transfered by SMPTE 292M include SMPTE 260M, 295M, 274M and + 296M [5-8]. In this memo, we specify how to transfer SMPTE 292M over + RTP, irrespective of the source format. + + + + + +Gharai, et al. Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 3497 RTP Payload Format for SMPTE 292M Video March 2003 + + +3. Conventions Used in this Document + + The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", + "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this + document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, RFC 2119 [2]. + +4. Payload Design + + Each SMPTE 292M data line is packetized into one or more RTP packets. + This includes all timing signals, blanking levels, active lines + and/or ancillary data. Start of active video (SAV) and end of active + video (EAV+LN+CRC) signals MUST NOT be fragmented across packets, as + the SMPTE 292M decoder uses them to detect the start of scan lines. + + The standard RTP header is followed by a 4 octet payload header. All + information in the payload header pertains to the first data sample + in the packet. The end of a video frame (the packet containing the + last sample before the EAV) is marked by the M bit in the RTP header. + + The payload header contains a 16 bit extension to the standard 16 bit + RTP sequence number, thereby extending the sequence number to 32 bits + and enabling RTP to accommodate HDTV's high data rates. At 1.485 + Gbps, with packet sizes of at least one thousand octets, 32 bits + allows for an approximate 6 hour period before the sequence number + wraps around. Given the same assumptions, the standard 16 bit RTP + sequence number wraps around in less than a second (336 + milliseconds), which is clearly not sufficient for the purpose of + detecting loss and out of order packets. + + A 148.5 MHz (or 148.5/1.001 MHz) time-stamp is used as the RTP + timestamp. This allows the receiver to reconstruct the timing of the + SMPTE 292M stream, without knowledge of the exact type of source + format (e.g., SMPTE 274M or SMPTE 296M). With this timestamp, the + location of the first sample of each packet can be uniquely + identified in the SMPTE 292M stream. At 148.5 MHz, the 32 bit + timestamp wraps around in 21 seconds. + + The payload header also carries the 11 bit line number from the SMPTE + 292M timing signals. This provides more information at the + application level and adds a level of resiliency, in case the packet + containing the EAV is lost. + + The bit length of both timing signals, SAV and EAV+LN+CRC, are + multiples of 8 bits, 40 bits and 80 bits, respectively, and therefore + are naturally octet aligned. + + + + + + +Gharai, et al. Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 3497 RTP Payload Format for SMPTE 292M Video March 2003 + + + For the video content, it is desirable for the video to both octet + align when packetized and also adhere to the principles of + application level framing, also known as ALF [13]. For YCrCb video, + the ALF principle translates into not fragmenting related luminance + and chrominance values across packets. For example, with the 4:2:0 + color subsampling, a 4 pixel group is represented by 6 values, Y1 Y2 + Y3 Y4 Cr Cb, and video content should be packetized such that these + values are not fragmented across 2 packets. However, with 10 bit + words, this is a 60 bit value which is not octet aligned. To be both + octet aligned, and adhere to ALF, an ALF unit must represent 2 groups + of 4 Pixels, thereby becoming octet aligned on a 15 octet boundary. + This length is referred to as the pixel group or pgroup, and it is + conveyed in the SDP parameters. Table 3 displays the pgroup value + for various color samplings. Typical source formats use 4:2:2 + sampling, and require a pgroup of 5 octets, other values are included + for completeness. + + The contents of the Digital Active Line SHOULD NOT be fragmented + within a pgroup. A pgroup of 1 indicates that data may be split at + any octet boundary (this is applicable to instances where the source + format is not known). The SAV and EAV+LN+CRC fields MUST NOT be + fragmented. + + +-------------------------------------------------------+ + | Color 10 bit | + |Subsampling Pixels words aligned on octet# pgroup| + +-----------+-------+--------+-------------------+------+ + | 4:2:0 | 4 | 6*10 | 2*60/8 = 15 | 15 | + +-----------+-------+--------+-------------------+------+ + | 4:2:2 | 2 | 4*10 | 40/8 = 5 | 5 | + +-----------+-------+--------+-------------------+------+ + | 4:4:4 | 1 | 3*10 | 4*30/8 = 15 | 15 | + +-----------+-------+--------+-------------------+------+ + + Table 3.

The RTP Header + + The following fields of the RTP fixed header are used for SMPTE 292M + encapsulation (the other fields in the RTP header are used in their + usual manner): + + Payload Type (PT): 7 bits + A dynamically allocated payload type field that designates the + payload as SMPTE 292M. + + Timestamp: 32 bits + For a SMPTE 292M transport stream at 1.485 Gbps (or 1.485/1.001 + Gbps), the timestamp field contains a 148.5 MHz (or 148.5/1.001 + MHz) timestamp, respectively. This allows for a unique timestamp + for each 10 bit word. + + Marker bit (M): 1 bit + The Marker bit denotes the end of a video frame, and is set to 1 + for the last packet of the video frame and is otherwise set to 0 + for all other packets. + + + + + + + +Gharai, et al. Standards Track [Page 6] + +RFC 3497 RTP Payload Format for SMPTE 292M Video March 2003 + + + Sequence Number (low bits): 16 bits + The low order bits for RTP sequence counter. The standard 16 bit + RTP sequence number is augmented with another 16 bits in the + payload header in order to accommodate the 1.485 Gbps data rate of + SMPTE 292M. + +5.2. Payload Header + + Sequence Number (high bits): 16 bits + The high order bits for the 32 bit RTP sequence counter, in + network byte order. + + F: 1 bit + The F bit as defined in the SMPTE 292M timing signals (see Table + 1). F=1 identifies field 2 and F=0 identifies field 1. + + V: 1 bit + The V bit as defined in the SMPTE 292M timing signals (see Table + 1). V=1 during field blanking, and V=0 else where. + + Z: 2 bits + SHOULD be set to zero by the sender and MUST be ignored by + receivers. + + Line No: 11 bits + The line number of the source data format, extracted from the + SMPTE 292M stream (see Table 2). The line number MUST correspond + to the line number of the first 10 bit word in the packet. + +6. RTCP Considerations + + RFC 1889 should be used as specified in RFC 1889 [3], which specifies + two limits on the RTCP packet rate: RTCP bandwidth should be limited + to 5% of the data rate, and the minimum for the average of the + randomized intervals between RTCP packets should be 5 seconds. + Considering the high data rate of this payload format, the minimum + interval is the governing factor in this case. + + It should be noted that the sender's octet count in SR packets wraps + around in 23 seconds, and that the cumulative number of packets lost + wraps around in 93 seconds. This means these two fields cannot + accurately represent the octet count and number of packets lost since + the beginning of transmission, as defined in RFC 1889. Therefore, + for network monitoring purposes or any other application that + requires the sender's octet count and the cumulative number of + packets lost since the beginning of transmission, the application + itself must keep track of the number of rollovers of these fields via + a counter. + + + +Gharai, et al. Standards Track [Page 7] + +RFC 3497 RTP Payload Format for SMPTE 292M Video March 2003 + + +7. IANA Considerations + + This document defines a new RTP payload format and associated MIME + type, SMPTE292M. The MIME registration form for SMPTE 292M video is + enclosed below: + + MIME media type name: video + + MIME subtype name: SMPTE292M + + Required parameters: rate + The RTP timestamp clock rate. The clock runs at either 148500000 + Hz or 148500000/1.001 Hz. If the latter rate is used a timestamp + of 148351648 MUST be used, and receivers MUST interpret this as + 148500000/1.001 Hz. + + Optional parameters: pgroup + The RECOMMENDED grouping for aligning 10 bit words and octets. + Defaults to 1 octet, if not present. + + Encoding considerations: SMPTE292M video can be transmitted with RTP + as specified in RFC 3497. + + Security considerations: see RFC 3497 section 9. + + Interoperability considerations: NONE + + Published specification: SMPTE292M + RFC 3497 + + Applications which use this media type: + Video communication. + + Additional information: None + + Magic number(s): None + + File extension(s): None + + Macintosh File Type Code(s): None + + Person & email address to contact for further information: + Ladan Gharai <ladan@isi.edu> + IETF AVT working group. + + Intended usage: COMMON + + + + + +Gharai, et al.

Mapping to SDP Parameters + + Parameters are mapped to SDP [14] as follows: + + m=video 30000 RTP/AVP 111 + a=rtpmap:111 SMPTE292M/148500000 + a=fmtp:111 pgroup=5 + + In this example, a dynamic payload type 111 is used for SMPTE292M. + The RTP timestamp is 148500000 Hz and the SDP parameter pgroup + indicates that for video data after the SAV signal, it must be + packetized in multiples of 5 octets. + +9. Security Considerations + + RTP sessions using the payload format defined in this specification + are subject to the security considerations discussed in the RTP + specification [3] and any appropriate RTP profile (e.g., [4]). + + This payload format does not exhibit any significant non-uniformity + in the receiver side computational complexity for packet processing + to cause a potential denial-of-service threat for intended receivers. + + The bandwidth of this payload format is high enough (1.485 Gbps + without the RTP overhead) to cause potential for denial-of-service if + transmitted onto most currently available Internet paths. Since + congestion control is not possible for SMPTE 292M over RTP flows, use + of the payload SHOULD be narrowly limited to suitably connected + network endpoints, or to networks where QoS guarantees are available. + + If QoS enhanced service is used, RTP receivers SHOULD monitor packet + loss to ensure that the service that was requested is actually being + delivered. If it is not, then they SHOULD assume that they are + receiving best-effort service and behave accordingly. + + If best-effort service is being used, RTP receivers MUST monitor + packet loss to ensure that the packet loss rate is within acceptable + parameters and MUST leave the session if the loss rate is too high. + The loss rate is considered acceptable if a TCP flow across the same + network path, experiencing the same network conditions, would achieve + an average throughput, measured on a reasonable timescale, that is + not less than the RTP flow is achieving. Since congestion control is + not possible for SMPTE 292M flows, this condition can only be + satisfied if receivers leave the session if the loss rate is + unacceptably high. + + + +Gharai, et al.
