2) It specifies an additional profile of AVC called the Progressive High Profile, that is similar to the previously-existing High Profile but does not support field picture coding and macroblock-adaptive frame/field coding (i.e., features informally known as "interlace coding tools").

This exploration effort considers the potential for scalable enhancement of the resolution of "frame compatible" stereo video coding. The current "frame compatible" stereo video coding technology involves packing together the right and left views of a stereo 3D video scene representation using only half the resolution that would be used for a corresponding 2D video representation. This effort considers the standardization of a scalable enhancement to enable next-generation services using coded enhancement data to increase the quality of the delivered video by enabling new devices to decode a full-resolution representation of the stereo 3D video.

The advances in developing the Unicode Standard and the addition of new characters that represent most of the world's languages and writing systems resulted in a significant increase of the Unicode character repertoire to more than 100,000 characters. However, due to the finite size of many bitfields, the existing ISO/IEC 14496-22:2009 specification only provides the capabilities for a single font to support up to 64K glyphs. The Composite Font Standard is intended to resolve the existing limitation by providing a solution that would allow linking of existing OFF fonts (and, possibly, fonts in other formats) into a single Composite Font to be used as a virtual font by any compliant implementation.

The overall amount of video data rate that is to be transferred over networks will continue to grow at a very fast pace, driven by the increased number of services and users and the increasing resolution of video from SD to HD and beyond.

High-efficiency video coding (HEVC) is the next generation of video compression technology that will have clearly higher compression capability than the existing AVC standard in its dominant configuration, the High Profile. The HEVC standard will support all commonly used progressive scan picture formats, ranging at least from QVGA (320x240) to Ultra HD resolutions such as 8Kx4K, as well as picture formats of arbitrary size.

Specifies syntax and semantics of the tools required to provide interoperability in controlling devices in real as well as virtual world. The scope of this Part of the standard covers the interfaces between the adaptation engine and the capability descriptions of actuators (sensory devices)/sensors (SDC/SC) in the real world and the user’s sensory preference information (USEP), which characterizes devices and users, so that appropriate information to control individual devices (actuators and sensors) for individual users can be generated. In other words, user’s sensory effect preferences, sensory device capabilities, and sensor capabilities are within the scope of this Part of the standard. These tools are defined in this Part of the standard using XML Schema. The overall structure of the tools are organized and defined by specifying Control Information Description Language (CIDL). The CIDL enables the instantiation of three types of descriptions. The actual descriptions (sensory device capabilities, sensor capabilities, and user’s sensory effect preferences) are not part of CIDL, but defined as the Device Capability Description Vocabulary (DCDV), Sensor Capability Description Vocabulary (SCDV), and User’s Sensory Effect Preference Vocabulary (SEPV), respectively.

3D video (3DV) supports new types of audio-visual systems that allow users to view videos of the real 3D space from different user viewpoints.  In an advanced application of 3DV, denoted as Free-viewpoinT Video (FTV), a user can set the viewpoint to an almost arbitrary location and direction, which can be static, change abruptly, or vary continuously, within the limits that are given by the available camera setup. Similarly, the audio listening point is changed accordingly. 

The first phase of 3DV development is expected to support advanced 3D displays, where M dense views must be generated from a sparse set of K transmitted views (typically K£3) with associated depth data. The allowable range of view synthesis will be relatively narrow (20 degrees view angle from leftmost to rightmost view).

This is an exploration of the role that MPEG audio standardization can play in two emerging trends in multi-media. The first is "3-D Audio" in which there may be many loudspeakers used in the audio presentation. Issues being explored are how to automatically adapt audio program material to the target number of loudspeakers in a given consumer's listening venue.  The second is "Audio for new video presentation" in which the video will very high resolution (as in MPEG HEVC). This would permit a closer viewing distance such that the user is within the audio near field. Issues being explored are how the audio presentation (i.e. number and position of loudspeakers) can enhance sound source localization and the sense of immersiveness. Both large "home theatre" and smaller portable audio-visual presenations are being considered.

The proposed amendment 7 describes the signaling of frame compatible coding in MPEG-2 video component and service compatible stereoscopic video services that use simulcast of MPEG-2 and AVC video components. For frame compatible signaling of MPEG-2 video component, an optional stream_type and descriptor is proposed. This enables compatible delivery of such services to both 'upgradable' and non-upgradable (deployed) receivers. This signaling scheme for service compatible mode supports delivery of service compatible 3D stereoscopic video where the base view video stream (which is usually 2D compatible) and the additional view video stream are coded independently using either MPEG-2 or AVC video or any combination thereof. The signaling includes new stream_type values and descriptors that assist in composition and rendering of 3D video.

When compared to using playlist formats or presentation languages (e.g. SMIL), the file track feature may provide the following advantages:

-           It uses the same parser for both the containing file and the contained files. Hence, when the playback switches from one contained file to another, it is less likely that the playback suffers from interrupts or glitches.

-           It provides powerful mapping of contained files onto the presentation timeline of the containing file by using edit lists.
