Overview
ISO/IEC 23090-10:2022/Amd 1:2022 is an amendment to Part 10 of the ISO/IEC 23090 series, focusing on the efficient carriage and representation of visual volumetric video-based coding data for immersive media applications. This amendment introduces explicit support for packed video data, an enhancement that enables broader use cases and improves handling of volumetric video in advanced multimedia and immersive environments. Managed by ISO/IEC JTC 1, SC 29, this standard amendment tightly integrates with the overall framework for coded immersive media content.
Key Topics
-
Packed Video Data Support
The amendment extends existing specifications to include references, configuration options, and carriage rules specifically designed to address the unique requirements of packed video data in volumetric codecs.
-
Updated Definitions and References
Clarifies definitions such as "V3C content" and ensures cross-referencing with related standards like ISO/IEC 23090-5 and core audio-visual coding standards (ISO/IEC 14496-1 and ISO/IEC 14496-12).
-
Expanded Track and Item Reference Types
Introduces new four character codes (4CCs), such as 'v3vp', to designate tracks, items, and reference types associated with packed video data, supporting more granular and effective media management.
-
Configuration and Property Enhancements
Ensures that V3C Configuration Properties and Decoder Configuration Records appropriately encapsulate packed video information, maintaining consistency and interoperability in implementations.
Applications
The improvements in ISO/IEC 23090-10:2022/Amd 1:2022 play a significant role in a variety of immersive media applications:
-
Volumetric Video Streaming
Enables broadcasters and content providers to more efficiently deliver volumetric video, including packed video streams, for virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and holographic displays.
-
Efficient Media Archive Management
The support for packed video data and expanded item properties make it easier for organizations to store, index, and retrieve complex immersive video content.
-
Platform Interoperability
Facilitates consistent handling of volumetric video-based coding data across different devices and software ecosystems, thanks to precise definitions and standardized references.
-
Future-proofed Media Workflows
By introducing packed video support within the ISO/IEC 23090-10 framework, implementers are prepared for the evolving needs of immersive applications, where high-efficiency packaging of video data is increasingly critical.
Related Standards
For consistent implementation and broader understanding, this amendment should be considered alongside these closely related standards:
- ISO/IEC 23090-5: Core specification defining volumetric video codecs (V3C).
- ISO/IEC 23090-12: Additional specifications related to volumetric video representations.
- ISO/IEC 14496-1: Systems Layer for coding of audio-visual objects, essential for carriage frameworks.
- ISO/IEC 14496-12: ISO Base Media File Format, underlying the structure and reference logic.
- Other parts of ISO/IEC 23090: For holistic immersive media experiences, cross-reference with other sections of the 23090 series addressing different aspects of media processing and interchange.
ISO/IEC 23090-10:2022/Amd 1:2022 is a key update for professionals developing and deploying next-generation media technologies. Its focus on packed video data ensures the standard remains relevant for the complex demands of immersive and interactive multimedia content.
