Description (English):

ISO/IEC 23004-2:2007 specifies the multimedia application programming interface (API) of the MPEG Multimedia Middleware (M3W) technology. This Multimedia API provides a flexible interoperable set of media functions suitable for use in multiple products with different capabilities and in multiple application domains. ISO/IEC 23004-2:2007 specifies the following: interfaces for audio broadcast decoding, processing and rendering; interfaces for video broadcast decoding, processing and rendering; IPMP interfaces; governance interfaces. These interfaces provide a uniform view to the multimedia functionality offered by M3W platforms, but are flexible enough to allow different M3W platform vendors to distinguish themselves.

Abstract

Overview

ISO/IEC 23004-2:2007 - Information technology - Multimedia Middleware - Part 2: Multimedia application programming interface (API) - defines the standardized API suite for MPEG Multimedia Middleware (M3W). The standard specifies a flexible, interoperable set of media interfaces so applications can access audio, video and security services consistently across different devices and products while allowing vendor differentiation.

Key topics and technical requirements

Multimedia API scope: Defines interface suites that present a uniform view of multimedia functionality offered by M3W platforms while remaining extensible for vendor-specific features.
Audio interfaces: Specifications for broadcast audio decoding, audio processing and rendering (e.g., decoding chains, processing components and output control).
Video interfaces: Specifications for broadcast video decoding, video processing/rendering and personal video recording (PVR) support.
Security and governance: IPMP (Intellectual Property Management and Protection) interfaces and governance interfaces to support content protection, conditional access and middleware management.
General interfaces: Navigation, control, IO configuration and liveness/health checks for multimedia objects and services.
Document organization & normative references: Works in conjunction with ISO/IEC 23004-1 (Architecture) and ISO/IEC 23004-3 (Component model). Includes extensive terms, definitions, annexes (use cases, implementation notes) and normative global types.

Practical applications

ISO/IEC 23004-2:2007 is intended to make multimedia services portable and interoperable across platforms and networks. Typical applications include:

Set‑top boxes and digital TV receivers implementing broadcast decoding and rendering pipelines.
Media players and consumer electronics that require standardized audio/video processing APIs.
Personal Video Recorder (PVR) systems implementing recording/playback control interfaces.
Devices and platforms that must integrate content protection (IPMP) and governance functions for DRM and conditional access.
Middleware vendors who need a stable API framework to support third‑party applications and updates.

Who should use this standard

Middleware architects and platform implementers
Device manufacturers (TVs, STBs, PVRs, media players)
Application developers integrating multimedia services
DRM and conditional access solution providers
Standards bodies and system integrators aligning product ecosystems
