+ H.264 Reduced-Complexity Decoding Operation (RCDO) Video
+
+Abstract
+
+ This document describes an RTP payload format for the Reduced-
+ Complexity Decoding Operation (RCDO) for H.264 Baseline profile
+ bitstreams, as specified in ITU-T Recommendation H.241. RCDO reduces
+ the decoding cost and resource consumption of the video processing.
+ The RCDO RTP payload format is based on the H.264 RTP payload format.

+1. Introduction
+
+ ITU-T Recommendation H.241 [3] specifies a Reduced-Complexity
+ Decoding Operation (RCDO) for use with H.264 [2] Baseline profile
+ bitstreams. It also specifies a bitstream constraint associated with
+ RCDO and a mechanism for signaling RCDO within the bitstream. The
+ RCDO signaling indicates that the bitstream conforms to the bitstream
+ constraint and that the decoder shall apply the RCDO decoding process
+ to the bitstream.
+
+ RCDO for H.264 offers a solution to support higher resolutions at the
+ same high frame rates used in current implementations. This is
+ achieved by reducing the processing requirements and thus reducing
+ the decoding cost/resource consumption of the video processing.
+
+ This document defines media type parameters and allows use in systems
+ based on the Session Description Protocol (SDP) [8] for signaling.

+2. 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 [4].
+
+3. Media Format Background
+
+ The Reduced-Complexity Decoding Operation (RCDO) for H.264 Baseline
+ profile bitstreams is specified in Annex B of H.241 [3]. RCDO is
+ specified as a separate H.264 mode and is distinct from any profile
+ defined in H.264. An RCDO bitstream obeys all the constraints of the
+ Baseline profile.
+
+ The media format is based on the H.264 RTP payload format as
+ specified in RFC 6184 [1]. Therefore, RFC 6184 constitutes the basis
+ for this document and is referred to several times.
+
+ In order to signal H.264 additional modes, Table 8-13 of H.241 [3]
+ specifies an AdditionalModesSupported parameter. Currently, the only
+ additional mode defined is RCDO.
+
+ Informative note: Other additional modes may be defined in the
+ future. H.264 additional modes may or may not be distinct from
+ the profiles in H.264.
+
+ A separate media subtype, named H264-RCDO, is defined to ensure
+ backward compatibility with deployed implementations of H.264.
+
+4. Payload Format
+
+ The payload format defined in Section 5 of RFC 6184 [1] SHALL be
+ used. This includes the RTP header usage and the payload format in
+ RFC 6184. Examples of typical RTP packets can be found in RFC 6184.
+
+5. Congestion Control Considerations
+
+ Congestion control for RTP SHALL be used in accordance with RFC 3550
+ [6] and with any applicable RTP profile, e.g., RFC 3551 [7]. If
+ best-effort service is being used, users of this payload format SHALL
+ monitor packet loss to ensure that the packet loss rate is within
+ acceptable parameters.
+
+6. Payload Format Parameters
+
+ This RTP payload format is identified using the H264-RCDO media
+ subtype, which is registered in accordance with RFC 4855 [10], and
+ using the template of RFC 4288 [13].

+
+
+6.1. Media Type Definition
+
+ Informative note: The media subtype definition for H264-RCDO is
+ based on the definition of the H264 media subtype as specified in
+ Section 8.1 of RFC 6184 [1]. Except for the profile-level-id
+ parameter, for which new semantics are specified below, the
+ optional parameters are copied from RFC 6184 [1] in order to
+ provide a complete, self-contained media subtype registration to
+ IANA. The references are updated to match the numbering used in
+ this document.
+
+ The media subtype for RCDO for H.264 has been allocated from the IETF
+ tree.
+
+ Type name: video
+
+ Subtype name: H264-RCDO
+
+ Required parameters:
+
+ rate: Indicates the RTP timestamp clock rate. The rate value MUST
+ be 90000.
+
+ Optional parameters:
+
+ profile-level-id: A base16 RFC 4648 [9] (hexadecimal) representation
+ of the following three bytes in the sequence parameter set NAL
+ unit is specified in H.264 [2]: 1) profile_idc, 2) a byte herein
+ referred to as profile-iop, composed of the values of
+ constraint_set0_flag, constraint_set1_flag, constraint_set2_flag,
+ constraint_set3_flag, constraint_set4_flag, constraint_set5_flag,
+ and reserved_zero_2bits in bit-significance order, starting from
+ the most-significant bit, and 3) level_idc. Note that
+ reserved_zero_2bits is required to be equal to 0 in H.264 [2], but
+ other values for it may be specified in the future by ITU-T or
+ ISO/IEC.
+
+ The profile-level-id parameter indicates the default sub-profile
+ (i.e., the subset of coding tools that may have been used to
+ generate the stream or that the receiver supports) and the default
+ level of the stream or the receiver supports.
+
+ RCDO is distinct from any profile; this implies that the profile
+ value 0 (no profile) and the profile_idc byte of the profile-
+ level-id parameter are equal to 0. An RCDO bitstream MUST obey
+ all the constraints of the Baseline profile. Therefore, only
+ constraint_set0_flag is equal to 1 in the profile-iop part of the
+ profile-level-id parameter; the remaining bits are set to 0.
+
+

+
+RFC 6185 H.264 RCDO RTP Payload May 2011
+
+
+ If the profile-level-id parameter is used to indicate properties
+ of a NAL unit stream, it indicates that, to decode the stream, the
+ minimum subset of coding tools a decoder has to support is the
+ default sub-profile, and the lowest level the decoder has to
+ support is the default level.
+
+ If the profile-level-id parameter is used for capability exchange
+ or session setup, it indicates the subset of coding tools, which
+ is equal to the default sub-profile, that the codec supports for
+ both receiving and sending. If max-recv-level is not present, the
+ default level from profile-level-id indicates the highest level
+ the codec wishes to support. If max-recv-level is present, it
+ indicates the highest level the codec supports for receiving. For
+ either receiving or sending, all levels that are lower than the
+ highest level supported MUST also be supported.
+
+ For example, if a codec supports level 1.3, the profile-level-id
+ becomes 00800d, in which 00 indicates the "no profile" value, 80
+ indicates the constraints of the Baseline profile, and 0d
+ indicates level 1.3. When level 2.1 is supported, the profile-
+ level-id becomes 008015.
+
+ If no profile-level-id is present, level 1 (i.e., equivalent to
+ profile-level-id 00800a) MUST be implied.
+
+ Informative note: The definitions of the remaining optional
+ parameters below are copied verbatim from Section 8.1 of RFC
+ 6184 [1]. Only the references are updated to match the
+ numbering used in this document.
+
+ max-recv-level: This parameter MAY be used to indicate the highest
+ level a receiver supports when the highest level is higher than
+ the default level (the level indicated by profile-level-id). The
+ value of max-recv-level is a base16 (hexadecimal) representation
+ of the two bytes after the syntax element profile_idc in the
+ sequence parameter set NAL unit specified in H.264 [2]: profile-
+ iop (as defined above) and level_idc. If the level_idc byte of
+ max-recv-level is equal to 11 and bit 4 of the profile-iop byte of
+ max-recv-level is equal to 1 or if the level_idc byte of max-recv-
+ level is equal to 9 and bit 4 of the profile-iop byte of max-recv-
+ level is equal to 0, the highest level the receiver supports is
+ Level 1b. Otherwise, the highest level the receiver supports is
+ equal to the level_idc byte of max-recv-level divided by 10.
+
+ max-recv-level MUST NOT be present if the highest level the
+ receiver supports is not higher than the default level.

+
+
+ max-mbps, max-smbps, max-fs, max-cpb, max-dpb, and max-br: These
+ parameters MAY be used to signal the capabilities of a receiver
+ implementation. These parameters MUST NOT be used for any other
+ purpose. The highest level conveyed in the value of the profile-
+ level-id parameter or the max-recv-level parameter MUST be such
+ that the receiver is fully capable of supporting. max-mbps, max-
+ smbps, max-fs, max-cpb, max-dpb, and max-br MAY be used to
+ indicate capabilities of the receiver that extend the required
+ capabilities of the signaled highest level, as specified below.
+
+ When more than one parameter from the set (max-mbps, max-smbps,
+ max-fs, max-cpb, max-dpb, max-br) is present, the receiver MUST
+ support all signaled capabilities simultaneously. For example, if
+ both max-mbps and max-br are present, the signaled highest level
+ with the extension of both the frame rate and bitrate is
+ supported. That is, the receiver is able to decode NAL unit
+ streams in which the macroblock processing rate is up to max-mbps
+ (inclusive), the bitrate is up to max-br (inclusive), the coded
+ picture buffer size is derived as specified in the semantics of
+ the max-br parameter below, and the other properties comply with
+ the highest level specified in the value of the profile-level-id
+ parameter or the max-recv-level parameter.
+
+ If a receiver can support all the properties of Level A, the
+ highest level specified in the value of the profile-level-id
+ parameter or the max-recv-level parameter MUST be Level A (i.e.,
+ MUST NOT be lower than Level A). In other words, a receiver MUST
+ NOT signal values of max-mbps, max-fs, max-cpb, max-dpb, and
+ max-br that taken together meet the requirements of a higher level
+ compared to the highest level specified in the value of the
+ profile-level-id parameter or the max-recv-level parameter.
+
+ Informative note: When the OPTIONAL media type parameters are
+ used to signal the properties of a NAL unit stream, max-mbps,
+ max-smbps, max-fs, max-cpb, max-dpb, and max-br are not
+ present, and the value of profile-level-id must always be such
+ that the NAL unit stream complies fully with the specified
+ profile and level.
+
+ max-mbps: The value of max-mbps is an integer indicating the maximum
+ macroblock processing rate in units of macroblocks per second.
+ The max-mbps parameter signals that the receiver is capable of
+ decoding video at a higher rate than is required by the signaled
+ highest level conveyed in the value of the profile-level-id
+ parameter or the max-recv-level parameter. When max-mbps is
+ signaled, the receiver MUST be able to decode NAL unit streams
+ that conform to the signaled highest level, with the exception
+ that the MaxMBPS value in Table A-1 of H.264 [2] for the signaled
+
+

+RFC 6185 H.264 RCDO RTP Payload May 2011
+
+
+ highest level is replaced with the value of max-mbps. The value
+ of max-mbps MUST be greater than or equal to the value of MaxMBPS
+ given in Table A-1 of H.264 [2] for the highest level. Senders
+ MAY use this knowledge to send pictures of a given size at a
+ higher picture rate than is indicated in the signaled highest
+ level.
+
+ max-smbps: The value of max-smbps is an integer indicating the
+ maximum static macroblock processing rate in units of static
+ macroblocks per second, under the hypothetical assumption that all
+ macroblocks are static macroblocks. When max-smbps is signaled,
+ the MaxMBPS value in Table A-1 of H.264 [2] should be replaced
+ with the result of the following computation:
+
+ o If the parameter max-mbps is signaled, set a variable
+ MaxMacroblocksPerSecond to the value of max-mbps. Otherwise,
+ set MaxMacroblocksPerSecond equal to the value of MaxMBPS in
+ Table A-1 of H.264 [2] for the signaled highest level conveyed
+ in the value of the profile-level-id parameter or the
+ max-recv-level parameter.
+
+ o Set a variable P_non-static to the proportion of non-static
+ macroblocks in picture n.
+
+ o Set a variable P_static to the proportion of static macroblocks
+ in picture n.
+
+ o The value of MaxMBPS in Table A-1 of H.264 [2] should be
+ considered by the encoder to be equal to:
+
+ MaxMacroblocksPerSecond * max-smbps / (P_non-static * max-smbps
+ + P_static * MaxMacroblocksPerSecond)
+
+ The encoder should recompute this value for each picture. The
+ value of max-smbps MUST be greater than or equal to the value of
+ MaxMBPS given explicitly as the value of the max-mbps parameter or
+ implicitly in Table A-1 of H.264 [2] for the signaled highest
+ level. Senders MAY use this knowledge to send pictures of a given
+ size at a higher picture rate than is indicated in the signaled
+ highest level.
+
+ max-fs: The value of max-fs is an integer indicating the maximum
+ frame size in units of macroblocks. The max-fs parameter signals
+ that the receiver is capable of decoding larger picture sizes than
+ are required by the signaled highest level conveyed in the value
+ of the profile-level-id parameter or the max-recv-level parameter.
+ When max-fs is signaled, the receiver MUST be able to decode NAL
+ unit streams that conform to the signaled highest level, with the
+
+
+
+Kristensen & Luthi Standards Track [Page 7]
+
+RFC 6185 H.264 RCDO RTP Payload May 2011
+
+
+ exception that the MaxFS value in Table A-1 of H.264 [2] for the
+ signaled highest level is replaced with the value of max-fs. The
+ value of max-fs MUST be greater than or equal to the value of
+ MaxFS given in Table A-1 of H.264 [2] for the highest level.
+ Senders MAY use this knowledge to send larger pictures at a
+ proportionally lower frame rate than is indicated in the signaled
+ highest level.
+
+ max-cpb: The value of max-cpb is an integer indicating the maximum
+ coded picture buffer size in units of 1000 bits for the VCL HRD
+ parameters and in units of 1200 bits for the NAL HRD parameters.
+ Note that this parameter does not use units of cpbBrVclFactor and
+ cpbBrNALFactor (see Table A-1 of H.264 [2]). The max-cpb
+ parameter signals that the receiver has more memory than the
+ minimum amount of coded picture buffer memory required by the
+ signaled highest level conveyed in the value of the
+ profile-level-id parameter or the max-recv-level parameter. When
+ max-cpb is signaled, the receiver MUST be able to decode NAL unit
+ streams that conform to the signaled highest level, with the
+ exception that the MaxCPB value in Table A-1 of H.264 [2] for the
+ signaled highest level is replaced with the value of max-cpb
+ (after taking cpbBrVclFactor and cpbBrNALFactor into consideration
+ when needed). The value of max-cpb (after taking cpbBrVclFactor
+ and cpbBrNALFactor into consideration when needed) MUST be greater
+ than or equal to the value of MaxCPB given in Table A-1 of H.264
+ [2] for the highest level. Senders MAY use this knowledge to
+ construct coded video streams with greater variation of bitrate
+ than can be achieved with the MaxCPB value in Table A-1 of H.264
+ [2].
+
+ Informative note: The coded picture buffer is used in the
+ hypothetical reference decoder (Annex C of H.264). The use of
+ the hypothetical reference decoder is recommended in H.264
+ encoders to verify that the produced bitstream conforms to the
+ standard and to control the output bitrate. Thus, the coded
+ picture buffer is conceptually independent of any other
+ potential buffers in the receiver, including de-interleaving
+ and de-jitter buffers. The coded picture buffer need not be
+ implemented in decoders as specified in Annex C of H.264, but
+ rather standard-compliant decoders can have any buffering
+ arrangements provided that they can decode standard-compliant
+ bitstreams. Thus, in practice, the input buffer for a video
+ decoder can be integrated with de-interleaving and de-jitter
+ buffers of the receiver.

+
+
+ max-dpb: The value of max-dpb is an integer indicating the maximum
+ decoded picture buffer size in units of 8/3 macroblocks. The max-
+ dpb parameter signals that the receiver has more memory than the
+ minimum amount of decoded picture buffer memory required by the
+ signaled highest level conveyed in the value of the
+ profile-level-id parameter or the max-recv-level parameter. When
+ max-dpb is signaled, the receiver MUST be able to decode NAL unit
+ streams that conform to the signaled highest level, with the
+ exception that the MaxDpbMbs value in Table A-1 of H.264 [2] for
+ the signaled highest level is replaced with the value of max-dpb *
+ 3 / 8. Consequently, a receiver that signals max-dpb MUST be
+ capable of storing the following number of decoded frames,
+ complementary field pairs, and non-paired fields in its decoded
+ picture buffer:
+
+ Min(max-dpb * 3 / 8 / ( PicWidthInMbs * FrameHeightInMbs), 16)
+
+ Wherein PicWidthInMbs and FrameHeightInMbs are defined in H.264
+ [2].
+
+ The value of max-dpb MUST be greater than or equal to the value of
+ MaxDpbMbs * 3 / 8, wherein the value of MaxDpbMbs is given in
+ Table A-1 of H.264 [2] for the highest level. Senders MAY use
+ this knowledge to construct coded video streams with improved
+ compression.
+
+ Informative note: This parameter was added primarily to
+ complement a similar codepoint in the ITU-T Recommendation
+ H.245, so as to facilitate signaling gateway designs. The
+ decoded picture buffer stores reconstructed samples. There is
+ no relationship between the size of the decoded picture buffer
+ and the buffers used in RTP, especially de-interleaving and
+ de-jitter buffers.
+
+ Informative note: In RFC 3984, which is obsoleted by RFC 6184,
+ the unit of this parameter was 1024 bytes. The unit has been
+ changed to 8/3 macroblocks in this document. The reason for
+ this change was due to the changes from the 2003 version of the
+ H.264 specification referenced by RFC 3984 to the 2010 version
+ of the H.264 specification referenced by this document,
+ particularly the changes to Table A-1 in the H.264
+ specification due to addition of color formats and bit depths
+ not supported earlier. The changed semantics of this parameter
+ keeps backward compatibility to RFC 3984 and supports all
+ profiles defined in the 2010 version of the H.264
+ specification.

+
+
+ max-br: The value of max-br is an integer indicating the maximum
+ video bitrate in units of 1000 bits per second for the VCL HRD
+ parameters and in units of 1200 bits per second for the NAL HRD
+ parameters. Note that this parameter does not use units of
+ cpbBrVclFactor and cpbBrNALFactor (see Table A-1 of H.264 [2]).
+
+ The max-br parameter signals that the video decoder of the
+ receiver is capable of decoding video at a higher bitrate than is
+ required by the signaled highest level conveyed in the value of
+ the profile-level-id parameter or the max-recv-level parameter.
+
+ When max-br is signaled, the video codec of the receiver MUST be
+ able to decode NAL unit streams that conform to the signaled
+ highest level, with the following exceptions in the limits
+ specified by the highest level:
+
+ o The value of max-br (after taking cpbBrVclFactor and
+ cpbBrNALFactor into consideration when needed) replaces the
+ MaxBR value in Table A-1 of H.264 [2] for the highest level.
+
+ o When the max-cpb parameter is not present, the result of the
+ following formula replaces the value of MaxCPB in Table A-1 of
+ H.264 [2]: (MaxCPB of the signaled level) * max-br / (MaxBR of
+ the signaled highest level).
+
+ For example, if a receiver signals capability for Main profile
+ Level 1.2 with max-br equal to 1550, this indicates a maximum
+ video bitrate of 1550 kbits/sec for VCL HRD parameters, a maximum
+ video bitrate of 1860 kbits/sec for NAL HRD parameters, and a CPB
+ size of 4036458 bits (1550000 / 384000 * 1000 * 1000).
+
+ The value of max-br (after taking cpbBrVclFactor and
+ cpbBrNALFactor into consideration when needed) MUST be greater
+ than or equal to the value MaxBR given in Table A-1 of H.264 [2]
+ for the signaled highest level.
+
+ Senders MAY use this knowledge to send higher bitrate video as
+ allowed in the level definition of Annex A of H.264 to achieve
+ improved video quality.
+
+ Informative note: This parameter was added primarily to
+ complement a similar codepoint in the ITU-T Recommendation
+ H.245, so as to facilitate signaling gateway designs. The
+ assumption that the network is capable of handling such
+ bitrates at any given time cannot be made from the value of
+ this parameter. In particular, no conclusion can be drawn that
+ the signaled bitrate is possible under congestion control
+ constraints.

+
+ redundant-pic-cap: This parameter signals the capabilities of a
+ receiver implementation. When equal to 0, the parameter indicates
+ that the receiver makes no attempt to use redundant coded pictures
+ to correct incorrectly decoded primary coded pictures. When equal
+ to 0, the receiver is not capable of using redundant slices;
+ therefore, a sender SHOULD avoid sending redundant slices to save
+ bandwidth. When equal to 1, the receiver is capable of decoding
+ any such redundant slice that covers a corrupted area in a primary
+ decoded picture (at least partly), and therefore a sender MAY send
+ redundant slices. When the parameter is not present, a value of 0
+ MUST be used for redundant-pic-cap. When present, the value of
+ redundant-pic-cap MUST be either 0 or 1.
+
+ When the profile-level-id parameter is present in the same
+ signaling as the redundant-pic-cap parameter and the profile
+ indicated in profile-level-id is such that it disallows the use of
+ redundant coded pictures (e.g., Main profile), the value of
+ redundant-pic-cap MUST be equal to 0. When a receiver indicates
+ redundant-pic-cap equal to 0, the received stream SHOULD NOT
+ contain redundant coded pictures.
+
+ Informative note: Even if redundant-pic-cap is equal to 0, the
+ decoder is able to ignore redundant codec pictures provided
+ that the decoder supports a profile (Baseline, Extended) in
+ which redundant coded pictures are allowed.
+
+ Informative note: Even if redundant-pic-cap is equal to 1, the
+ receiver may also choose other error concealment strategies to
+ replace or complement decoding of redundant slices.
+
+ sprop-parameter-sets: This parameter MAY be used to convey any
+ sequence and picture parameter set NAL units (herein referred to
+ as the initial parameter set NAL units) that can be placed in the
+ NAL unit stream to precede any other NAL units in decoding order.
+ The parameter MUST NOT be used to indicate codec capability in any
+ capability exchange procedure. The value of the parameter is a
+ comma-separated (',') list of base64 RFC 4648 [9] representations
+ of parameter set NAL units as specified in Sections 7.3.2.1 and
+ 7.3.2.2 of H.264 [2]. Note that the number of bytes in a
+ parameter set NAL unit is typically less than 10, but a picture
+ parameter set NAL unit can contain several hundred bytes.
+
+ Informative note: When several payload types are offered in the
+ SDP Offer/Answer model, each with its own sprop-parameter-sets
+ parameter, the receiver cannot assume that those parameter sets
+ do not use conflicting storage locations (i.e., identical
+ values of parameter set identifiers). Therefore, a receiver
+
+
+
+
+Kristensen & Luthi Standards Track [Page 11]
+
+RFC 6185 H.264 RCDO RTP Payload May 2011
+
+
+ should buffer all sprop-parameter-sets and make them available
+ to the decoder instance that decodes a certain payload type.
+
+ The sprop-parameter-sets parameter MUST only contain parameter
+ sets that are conforming to the profile-level-id, i.e., the subset
+ of coding tools indicated by any of the parameter sets MUST be
+ equal to the default sub-profile, and the level indicated by any
+ of the parameter sets MUST be equal to the default level.
+
+ sprop-level-parameter-sets: This parameter MAY be used to convey any
+ sequence and picture parameter set NAL units (herein referred to
+ as the initial parameter set NAL units) that can be placed in the
+ NAL unit stream to precede any other NAL units in decoding order
+ and that are associated with one or more levels different than the
+ default level. The parameter MUST NOT be used to indicate codec
+ capability in any capability exchange procedure.
+
+ The sprop-level-parameter-sets parameter contains parameter sets
+ for one or more levels that are different than the default level.
+ All parameter sets associated with one level are clustered and
+ prefixed with a three-byte field that has the same syntax as
+ profile-level-id. This enables the receiver to install the
+ parameter sets for one level and discard the rest. The three-byte
+ field is named PLId, and all parameter sets associated with one
+ level are named PSL, which has the same syntax as sprop-parameter-
+ sets. Parameter sets for each level are represented in the form
+ of PLId:PSL, i.e., PLId followed by a colon (':') and the base64
+ RFC 4648 [9] representation of the initial parameter set NAL units
+ for the level. Each pair of PLId:PSLs is also separated by a
+ colon. Note that a PSL can contain multiple parameter sets for
+ that level, separated with commas (',').
+
+ The subset of coding tools indicated by each PLId field MUST be
+ equal to the default sub-profile, and the level indicated by each
+ PLId field MUST be different than the default level. All sequence
+ parameter sets contained in each PSL MUST have the three bytes
+ from profile_idc to level_idc, inclusive, equal to the preceding
+ PLId.
+
+ Informative note: This parameter allows for efficient level
+ downgrade or upgrade in SDP Offer/Answer and out-of-band
+ transport of parameter sets simultaneously.
+
+ use-level-src-parameter-sets: This parameter MAY be used to indicate
+ a receiver capability. The value MAY be equal to either 0 or 1.
+ When the parameter is not present, the value MUST be inferred to
+ be equal to 0. The value 0 indicates that the receiver does not
+ understand the sprop-level-parameter-sets parameter, does not
+
+
+
+Kristensen & Luthi Standards Track [Page 12]
+
+RFC 6185 H.264 RCDO RTP Payload May 2011
+
+
+ understand the "fmtp" source attribute as specified in Section 6.3
+ of RFC 5576 [14], will ignore sprop-level-parameter-sets when
+ present, and will ignore sprop-parameter-sets when conveyed using
+ the "fmtp" source attribute. The value 1 indicates that the
+ receiver understands the sprop-level-parameter-sets parameter,
+ understands the "fmtp" source attribute as specified in Section
+ 6.3 of RFC 5576 [14], and is capable of using parameter sets
+ contained in the sprop-level-parameter-sets or contained in the
+ sprop-parameter-sets that is conveyed using the "fmtp" source
+ attribute.
+
+ Informative note: An RFC 3984 receiver does not understand
+ sprop-level-parameter-sets, use-level-src-parameter-sets, or
+ the "fmtp" source attribute as specified in Section 6.3 of RFC
+ 5576 [14]. Therefore, during SDP Offer/Answer, an RFC 3984
+ receiver as the answerer will simply ignore sprop-level-
+ parameter-sets when present in an offer and sprop-parameter-
+ sets conveyed using the "fmtp" source attribute, as specified
+ in Section 6.3 of RFC 5576 [14]. Assume that the offered
+ payload type was accepted at a level lower than the default
+ level. If the offered payload type included sprop-level-
+ parameter-sets or included sprop-parameter-sets conveyed using
+ the "fmtp" source attribute and if the offerer sees that the
+ answerer has not included use-level-src-parameter-sets equal to
+ 1 in the answer, the offerer knows that in-band transport of
+ parameter sets is needed.
+
+ in-band-parameter-sets: This parameter MAY be used to indicate a
+ receiver capability. The value MAY be equal to either 0 or 1.
+ The value 1 indicates that the receiver discards out-of-band
+ parameter sets in sprop-parameter-sets and sprop-level-parameter-
+ sets; therefore, the sender MUST transmit all parameter sets in-
+ band. The value 0 indicates that the receiver utilizes out-of-
+ band parameter sets included in sprop-parameter-sets and/or sprop-
+ level-parameter-sets. However, in this case, the sender MAY still
+ choose to send parameter sets in-band. When in-band-parameter-
+ sets is equal to 1, use-level-src-parameter-sets MUST NOT be
+ present or MUST be equal to 0. When the parameter is not present,
+ this receiver capability is not specified, and therefore the
+ sender MAY send out-of-band parameter sets only, it MAY send in-
+ band-parameter-sets only, or it MAY send both.
+
+ level-asymmetry-allowed: This parameter MAY be used in SDP Offer/
+ Answer to indicate whether level asymmetry, i.e., sending media
+ encoded at a different level in the offerer-to-answerer direction
+ than the level in the answerer-to-offerer direction, is allowed.
+ The value MAY be equal to either 0 or 1. When the parameter is
+ not present, the value MUST be inferred to be equal to 0. The
+
+
+
+Kristensen & Luthi Standards Track [Page 13]
+
+RFC 6185 H.264 RCDO RTP Payload May 2011
+
+
+ value 1 in both the offer and the answer indicates that level
+ asymmetry is allowed. The value of 0 in either the offer or the
+ answer indicates that level asymmetry is not allowed.
+
+ If level-asymmetry-allowed is equal to 0 (or not present) in
+ either the offer or the answer, level asymmetry is not allowed.
+ In this case, the level to use in the direction from the offerer
+ to the answerer MUST be the same as the level to use in the
+ opposite direction.
+
+ packetization-mode: This parameter signals the properties of an RTP
+ payload type or the capabilities of a receiver implementation.
+ Only a single configuration point can be indicated; thus, when
+ capabilities to support more than one packetization-mode are
+ declared, multiple configuration points (RTP payload types) must
+ be used.
+
+ When the value of packetization-mode is equal to 0 or
+ packetization-mode is not present, the single NAL mode MUST be
+ used. This mode is in use in standards using ITU-T Recommendation
+ H.241 [3] (see Section 12.1). When the value of packetization-
+ mode is equal to 1, the non-interleaved mode MUST be used. When
+ the value of packetization-mode is equal to 2, the interleaved
+ mode MUST be used. The value of packetization-mode MUST be an
+ integer in the range of 0 to 2, inclusive.
+
+ sprop-interleaving-depth: This parameter MUST NOT be present when
+ packetization-mode is not present or the value of packetization-
+ mode is equal to 0 or 1. This parameter MUST be present when the
+ value of packetization-mode is equal to 2.
+
+ This parameter signals the properties of an RTP packet stream. It
+ specifies the maximum number of VCL NAL units that precede any VCL
+ NAL unit in the RTP packet stream in transmission order and that
+ follow the VCL NAL unit in decoding order. Consequently, it is
+ guaranteed that receivers can reconstruct NAL unit decoding order
+ when the buffer size for NAL unit decoding order recovery is at
+ least the value of sprop-interleaving-depth + 1 in terms of VCL
+ NAL units.
+
+ The value of sprop-interleaving-depth MUST be an integer in the
+ range of 0 to 32767, inclusive.
+
+ sprop-deint-buf-req: This parameter MUST NOT be present when
+ packetization-mode is not present or the value of packetization-
+ mode is equal to 0 or 1. It MUST be present when the value of
+ packetization-mode is equal to 2.
+
+
+
+
+Kristensen & Luthi Standards Track [Page 14]
+
+RFC 6185 H.264 RCDO RTP Payload May 2011
+
+
+ sprop-deint-buf-req signals the required size of the
+ de-interleaving buffer for the RTP packet stream. The value of
+ the parameter MUST be greater than or equal to the maximum buffer
+ occupancy (in units of bytes) required in such a de-interleaving
+ buffer that is specified in Section 7.2 of RFC 6184 [1]. It is
+ guaranteed that receivers can perform the de-interleaving of
+ interleaved NAL units into NAL unit decoding order, when the
+ de-interleaving buffer size is at least the value of
+ sprop-deint-buf-req in terms of bytes.
+
+ The value of sprop-deint-buf-req MUST be an integer in the range
+ of 0 to 4294967295, inclusive.
+
+ Informative note: sprop-deint-buf-req indicates the required
+ size of the de-interleaving buffer only. When network jitter
+ can occur, an appropriately sized jitter buffer has to be
+ provisioned for as well.
+
+ deint-buf-cap: This parameter signals the capabilities of a receiver
+ implementation and indicates the amount of de-interleaving buffer
+ space in units of bytes that the receiver has available for
+ reconstructing the NAL unit decoding order. A receiver is able to
+ handle any stream for which the value of the sprop-deint-buf-req
+ parameter is smaller than or equal to this parameter.
+
+ If the parameter is not present, then a value of 0 MUST be used
+ for deint-buf-cap. The value of deint-buf-cap MUST be an integer
+ in the range of 0 to 4294967295, inclusive.
+
+ Informative note: deint-buf-cap indicates the maximum possible
+ size of the de-interleaving buffer of the receiver only. When
+ network jitter can occur, an appropriately sized jitter buffer
+ has to be provisioned for as well.
+
+ sprop-init-buf-time: This parameter MAY be used to signal the
+ properties of an RTP packet stream. The parameter MUST NOT be
+ present if the value of packetization-mode is equal to 0 or 1.
+
+ The parameter signals the initial buffering time that a receiver
+ MUST wait before starting decoding to recover the NAL unit
+ decoding order from the transmission order. The parameter is the
+ maximum value of (decoding time of the NAL unit - transmission
+ time of a NAL unit), assuming reliable and instantaneous
+ transmission, the same timeline for transmission and decoding, and
+ commencement of decoding when the first packet arrives.
+
+ An example of specifying the value of sprop-init-buf-time follows.
+ A NAL unit stream is sent in the following interleaved order, in
+
+
+
+Kristensen & Luthi Standards Track [Page 15]
+
+RFC 6185 H.264 RCDO RTP Payload May 2011
+
+
+ which the value corresponds to the decoding time and the
+ transmission order is from left to right:
+
+ 0 2 1 3 5 4 6 8 7 ...
+
+ Assuming a steady transmission rate of NAL units, the transmission
+ times are:
+
+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ...
+
+ Subtracting the decoding time from the transmission time column-
+ wise results in the following series:
+
+ 0 -1 1 0 -1 1 0 -1 1 ...
+
+ Thus, in terms of intervals of NAL unit transmission times, the
+ value of sprop-init-buf-time in this example is 1. The parameter
+ is coded as a non-negative base10 integer representation in clock
+ ticks of a 90-kHz clock. If the parameter is not present, then no
+ initial buffering time value is defined. Otherwise, the value of
+ sprop-init-buf-time MUST be an integer in the range of 0 to
+ 4294967295, inclusive.
+
+ In addition to the signaled sprop-init-buf-time, receivers SHOULD
+ take into account the transmission delay jitter buffering,
+ including buffering for the delay jitter caused by mixers,
+ translators, gateways, proxies, traffic-shapers, and other network
+ elements.
+
+ sprop-max-don-diff: This parameter MAY be used to signal the
+ properties of an RTP packet stream. It MUST NOT be used to signal
+ transmitter, receiver, or codec capabilities. The parameter MUST
+ NOT be present if the value of packetization-mode is equal to 0 or
+ 1. sprop-max-don-diff is an integer in the range of 0 to 32767,
+ inclusive. If sprop-max-don-diff is not present, the value of the
+ parameter is unspecified. sprop-max-don-diff is calculated as
+ follows:
+
+ sprop-max-don-diff = max{AbsDON(i) - AbsDON(j)}, for any i and
+ any j>i,
+
+ where i and j indicate the index of the NAL unit in the
+ transmission order and AbsDON denotes a decoding order number of
+ the NAL unit that does not wrap around to 0 after 65535. In other
+ words, AbsDON is calculated as follows: let m and n be consecutive
+ NAL units in transmission order. For the very first NAL unit in
+ transmission order (whose index is 0), AbsDON(0) = DON(0). For
+ other NAL units, AbsDON is calculated as follows:
+
+
+
+Kristensen & Luthi Standards Track [Page 16]
+
+RFC 6185 H.264 RCDO RTP Payload May 2011
+
+
+ If DON(m) == DON(n), AbsDON(n) = AbsDON(m)
+
+ If (DON(m) < DON(n) and DON(n) - DON(m) < 32768),
+
+ AbsDON(n) = AbsDON(m) + DON(n) - DON(m)
+
+ If (DON(m) > DON(n) and DON(m) - DON(n) >= 32768),
+
+ AbsDON(n) = AbsDON(m) + 65536 - DON(m) + DON(n)
+
+ If (DON(m) < DON(n) and DON(n) - DON(m) >= 32768),
+
+ AbsDON(n) = AbsDON(m) - (DON(m) + 65536 - DON(n))
+
+ If (DON(m) > DON(n) and DON(m) - DON(n) < 32768),
+
+ AbsDON(n) = AbsDON(m) - (DON(m) - DON(n))
+
+ where DON(i) is the decoding order number of the NAL unit having
+ index i in the transmission order. The decoding order number is
+ specified in Section 5.5 of RFC 6184 [1].
+
+ Informative note: Receivers may use sprop-max-don-diff to
+ trigger which NAL units in the receiver buffer can be passed to
+ the decoder.
+
+ max-rcmd-nalu-size: This parameter MAY be used to signal the
+ capabilities of a receiver. The parameter MUST NOT be used for
+ any other purposes. The value of the parameter indicates the
+ largest NALU size in bytes that the receiver can handle
+ efficiently. The parameter value is a recommendation, not a
+ strict upper boundary. The sender MAY create larger NALUs but
+ must be aware that the handling of these may come at a higher cost
+ than NALUs conforming to the limitation.
+
+ The value of max-rcmd-nalu-size MUST be an integer in the range of
+ 0 to 4294967295, inclusive. If this parameter is not specified,
+ no known limitation to the NALU size exists. Senders still have
+ to consider the MTU size available between the sender and the
+ receiver and SHOULD run MTU discovery for this purpose.
+
+ This parameter is motivated by, for example, an IP to H.223 video
+ telephony gateway, where NALUs smaller than the H.223 transport
+ data unit will be more efficient. A gateway may terminate IP;
+ thus, MTU discovery will normally not work beyond the gateway.
+
+ Informative note: Setting this parameter to a lower than
+ necessary value may have a negative impact.

+
+
+ sar-understood: This parameter MAY be used to indicate a receiver
+ capability and nothing else. The parameter indicates the maximum
+ value of aspect_ratio_idc (specified in H.264 [2]) smaller than
+ 255 that the receiver understands. Table E-1 of H.264 [2]
+ specifies aspect_ratio_idc equal to 0 as "unspecified"; 1 to 16,
+ inclusive, as specific Sample Aspect Ratios (SARs); 17 to 254,
+ inclusive, as "reserved"; and 255 as the Extended SAR, for which
+ SAR width and SAR height are explicitly signaled. Therefore, a
+ receiver with a decoder according to H.264 [2] understands
+ aspect_ratio_idc in the range of 1 to 16, inclusive, and
+ aspect_ratio_idc equal to 255, in the sense that the receiver
+ knows exactly what the SAR is. For such a receiver, the value of
+ sar-understood is 16. In the future, if Table E-1 of H.264 [2] is
+ extended, e.g., such that the SAR for aspect_ratio_idc equal to 17
+ is specified, then for a receiver with a decoder that understands
+ the extension, the value of sar-understood is 17. For a receiver
+ with a decoder according to the 2003 version of H.264 [2], the
+ value of sar-understood is 13, as the minimum reserved
+ aspect_ratio_idc therein is 14.
+
+ When sar-understood is not present, the value MUST be inferred to
+ be equal to 13.
+
+ sar-supported: This parameter MAY be used to indicate a receiver
+ capability and nothing else. The value of this parameter is an
+ integer in the range of 1 to sar-understood, inclusive, equal to
+ 255. The value of sar-supported equal to N smaller than 255
+ indicates that the receiver supports all the SARs corresponding to
+ H.264 aspect_ratio_idc values (see Table E-1 of H.264 [2]) in the
+ range from 1 to N, inclusive, without geometric distortion. The
+ value of sar-supported equal to 255 indicates that the receiver
+ supports all sample aspect ratios that are expressible using two
+ 16-bit integer values as the numerator and denominator, i.e.,
+ those that are expressible using the H.264 aspect_ratio_idc value
+ of 255 (Extended_SAR, see Table E-1 of H.264 [2]), without
+ geometric distortion.
+
+ H.264-compliant encoders SHOULD NOT send an aspect_ratio_idc equal
+ to 0 or an aspect_ratio_idc larger than sar-understood and smaller
+ than 255. H.264-compliant encoders SHOULD send an
+ aspect_ratio_idc that the receiver is able to display without
+ geometrical distortion. However, H.264-compliant encoders MAY
+ choose to send pictures using any SAR.
+
+ Note that the actual sample aspect ratio or extended sample aspect
+ ratio, when present, of the stream is conveyed in the Video
+ Usability Information (VUI) part of the sequence parameter set.

+7. Mapping to SDP
+
+ The mapping of the above defined payload format media subtype and its
+ parameters SHALL be done according to Section 3 of RFC 4855 [10].
+
+ An example of the "fmtp" attribute in the media representation of a
+ level 2.2 bitstream is as follows:
+
+ a=fmtp:97 profile-level-id=008016
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Kristensen & Luthi Standards Track [Page 19]
+
+RFC 6185 H.264 RCDO RTP Payload May 2011
+
+
+7.1. Offer/Answer Considerations
+
+ When H264-RCDO is offered over RTP using SDP in an Offer/Answer model
+ [5] for unicast and multicast usage, the limitations and rules
+ described in Section 8.2.2 of RFC 6184 [1] apply. Note that the
+ profile_idc byte of the H264-RCDO profile-level-id parameter can only
+ take the value of 0 (no profile).
+
+ For interoperability with systems not supporting H264-RCDO, it is
+ RECOMMENDED to offer the H264 media subtype as well. As specified in
+ RFC 3264 [5], listing the payload number for H264-RCDO before H264 in
+ the format list on the "m=" line signals that H264-RCDO is preferred
+ over H264. Following is an example where this scheme is applied:
+
+ m=video 5555 RTP/AVP 97 98
+
+ a=rtpmap:97 H264-RCDO/90000
+
+ a=fmtp:97 profile-level-id=008016;max-mbps=42000;max-smbps=323500
+
+ a=rtpmap:98 H264/90000
+
+ a=fmtp:98 profile-level-id=428016;max-mbps=35000;max-smbps=323500
+
+7.2. Declarative SDP Considerations
+
+ When H264-RCDO over RTP is offered with SDP in a declarative style,
+ as in the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) [11] or the Session
+ Announcement Protocol (SAP) [12], the considerations in Section 8.2.3
+ of RFC 6184 [1] apply. Note that the profile_idc byte of the H264-
+ RCDO profile-level-id parameter can only take the value of 0 (no
+ profile).
+
+8. IANA Considerations
+
+ IANA has registered H264-RCDO as specified in Section 6.1. The media
+ subtype has also been added to the IANA registry for "RTP Payload
+ Format MIME types" (http://www.iana.org).
+
+9. Security Considerations
+
+ RTP packets using the payload format defined in this specification
+ are subject to the security considerations discussed in the RTP
+ specification [6] and in any applicable RTP profile. Refer also to
+ the security considerations of the RTP Payload Format for H.264 Video
+ specification in RFC 6184 [1]. No additional security considerations
+ are introduced by this specification.
