Description (English):

This document specifies formats for redundant encoding and packaging of live segmented media (REaP). This document specifies: a) formats for Interchangeable Live Media Ingest and stream announcement; b) format and segmentation strategy to generate interchangeable segments; c) formats for generating interchangeable media presentation descriptions or playlists; d) formats for efficient cloud storage access and archiving of live segmented media. e) a protocol for communicating media descriptor files and fragmented media between encoders and packagers. REaP enables the following: 1) failover support and rejoining of distributed components in the workflow (see Annex E); 2) workflows for live with dynamic ad insertion (DAI) with a decisioning system. 3) workflows with digital rights management (DRM) and content protection. 4) Mixing file and live inputs. This document specifies additional constraint to formats defined in ISO/IEC 14496-12, ISO/IEC 23009-1, ISO/IEC 23000-19 and IETF RFC 8216.

Abstract

Overview - What ISO/IEC 23009-9:2025 (REaP) covers

ISO/IEC 23009-9:2025, part of the MPEG-DASH family, defines formats and workflows for redundant encoding and packaging of live segmented media (REaP). The standard specifies how live ingest, encoding, packaging and storage can be made interoperable and redundant so that independently deployed encoders and packagers can produce interchangeable segments and manifests. Key outcomes include robust failover, rejoining of distributed components, support for dynamic ad insertion (DAI), content protection (DRM) workflows, and mixed file+live inputs for live streaming and 24x7 archiving.

Key technical topics and requirements

Interchangeable Live Media Ingest (I-MPD): formats for announcing and ingesting live streams so multiple encoders can produce the same segment timelines.
Segment format and segmentation strategy: constraints to generate segments that are time-aligned and interchangeable across redundant encoders.
Interchangeable media presentation descriptions (MPD/playlist): formats for D-MPD, HLS playlists and S‑MPD for storage to ensure consistent playback and replay.
Encoder ↔ Packager protocol: a protocol for exchanging media descriptor files and fragmented media between distribution encoders and packagers.
Asset storage and recording (S‑MPD): formats and track constraints for efficient cloud storage, 24x7 live archiving and retrieval.
Synchronization mechanisms: use of synchronization time stamps (STS, E‑STS, P‑STS), recommended segment durations and methods for exchanging timing (see Annexes B, D, E, H).
Constraints and interoperability: additional constraints on ISO BMFF/CMAF, DASH and HLS formats to guarantee interchangeable outputs across implementations.

Practical applications and who should use it

Broadcasters and live-event producers seeking high-availability live streaming with failover and multi-site encoding.
Streaming platform and CDN operators implementing consistent packaging and origin behavior for live feeds.
Encoder and packager vendors building interoperable products that can join existing workflows and produce identical segments and manifests.
Cloud storage and archive teams that require standardized S‑MPD and storage track formats for long-term recording and efficient access.
Ad decisioning and DRM integrators enabling DAI and content protection across redundant delivery paths.
