indicating level of SC 29 NB support and rationale to JTC 1 for
endorsement:
Subdivisions
JTC 1.29.12 01
(14495-1) | Part 1: Baseline
Support: Canada, France, Israel, Japan, UK, US
Rationale: Baseline covers low complexity modes
|
JTC 1.29.12 02
(14495-2) | Part 2: Extensions
Support: Canada, France, Japan, UK, US
Rationale: Extensions cover high performance mode
|
JTC 1.29.13.05
(14496-5) | Part 5: Reference software [Technical Report Type 3]
Support: NBs active in WG 11
Rationale: The continuous progress of generic CPUs make it desirable to provide a complete software implementation of the MPEG-4 standard. The same software also plays the role of reference implementation of the standard thus easing conformance assessment problems.
|
JTC 1.29.13.06
(14496-6) | Part 6: DSM-CC Multimedia Integration Framework (DMIF)
Support: NBs active in WG 11
Rationale: Part 6 is needed to provide the necessary tools that will enable the end-to-end dialogue between an MPEG-4 server and an MPEG-4 consumer device.

Minor Enhancements
JTC 1.29.05.02.01.04
(13818-1/AMD 4) |
AMENDMENT 4: Semantic and table definitions for 4:2:2 and multiview profiles
Support: NBs active in WG 11
Rationale: Rationale: The addition of the 4:2:2: profile to ISO/IEC 13818-2 requires additional tables and table entries in selected clauses of ISO/IEC 13818-1. This amendment provides the required specifications for those table and table entries.
|
JTC 1.29.05.02.01.05
(13818-1/AMD 5) |
AMENDMENT 5: System-related table entries for Advanced Audio Coding (AAC)
Support: NBs active in WG 11
Rationale: The completion of ISO/IEC 13818-7 (AAC) requires the addition of specific table entries in ISO/IEC 13818-1 in order for the AAC bitstream to be recognized by decoders. The specifications contained in this amendment provide those entries.
|
JTC 1.29.05.02.04.01
(13818-4/AMD 1) |
AMENDMENT 1: Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) Conformance Testing
Support: NBs active in WG 11
Rationale. The completion of ISO/IEC 13818-7 (Advanced Audio Coding) requires the extension of ISO/IEC 13818-4, produced with the goal of providing conformance testing for ISO/IEC 13818-1 to -3.
|
JTC 1.29.05.02.05.01
(13818-5/AMD 1) |
AMENDMENT 1: Advanced Audio Coding (AAC)
Support: NBs active in WG 11

- Further Modifications to ISO/IEC 14496-6
SC 29 expresses its concern that the original development
plans for ISO/IEC 14496-6 may have exceeded the bounds of the
WG or the SC 29 charter. SC 29 recognises that the revised plan

new procedures as creating publication and deployment delays in
an industry which demands timeliness. SC 29 requests that JTC
1 continue to review and revise, as needed, the standardization
process. This should be done utilizing direct input from WGs via
SCs to ensure that accuracy and timeliness in support of its industry
customers is preserved.

unanimous
- JTC 1/Strategic Planning (SP)
SC 29 suggests that JTC 1 might be better served in
regard to Strategic Planning if it were to establish a Strategic
Planning function comprised of the highest levels of corporate
planners from National Bodies. This would bring both a long range
view (5 years) and a business oriented focus to JTC 1's Strategic
Plan for standards development. A suitable size for this planning
committee might be 3 continuing members and 5-7 invited strategic
corporate planners preparing for an annual update of the Strategic
Plan.
