+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.

+
+ The number of words and the format for active lines and line blanking
+ is defined by source format documents. 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.

+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.

+
+
+ 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.

+
+5.1. 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.

+
+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.

+
+
+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

+8. 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.
