Linking streams into the scene • An object descriptor containsES descriptors pointing to: • _________ coded content streams • Alternate _____ content streams • Object content __________ • ____ information • ES descriptors have subdescriptors for: • ________ configuration • _______ layer configuration • ____________ information • Future / private extensions Allows the terminal to select suitable streams “stream type” “stream header” Configures the flexible SL syntax Mainly for heteroge- neous networks
Decoder configuration info in older standards Cfg = configuration information (“stream headers”)
The Initial Object Descriptor • Derived from the generic object descriptor • Contains additional elements to signal ________ and ______ • Profile and level indications are the default way of content selection • The terminal reads the P&L indications and knows whether it has capability to process the presentation • Profiles are signaled in multiple separate dimensions • ______________ • Graphics • Object descriptors • Audio • Visual • The “first” object descriptor for an MPEG-4 presentation is always an initial object descriptor
Transport of object descriptors • Object descriptors are encapsulated in OD _____________s • ObjectDescriptorUpdate / ObjectDescriptorRemove • ES_DescriptorUpdate / ES_DescriptorRemove • OD commands are conveyed in their own object descriptor _________ in a synchronized manner with time stamps • Objects / streams may be announced during a presentation • There may be __________ OD & scene description streams • A partitioning of a large scene becomes possible • Name scopes for identifiers (OD_ID, ES_ID) are defined • Resource management for sub scenes can be distributed • A propose “resource management” • If the location of streams is changed, only the ___s need modification.Not the scene description
Ancilliary streams • IPMP streams • Information for Intellectual Property Management and Protection • Structured in (time stamped) messages. • Content is defined by ____________ IPMP systems • Complemented by IPMP ___________s • OCI (Object Content Information) streams • Meta data for an object. • Structured descriptors conveyed in (time stamped) _________s • Content author, date, keywords, description, language, ... • Some OCI descriptors may be directly in __s or ___s • ES_Descriptors pointing to such streams may be attached to any _________ descriptor • This scopes the _____ or ___ stream. • An IPMP stream attached to the object descriptor stream is valid for ___ streams
