Scope:

This Recommendation | International Standard specifies the system layer of the coding. It was developed principally to support the combination of the video and audio coding methods defined in Parts 2 and 3 of ISO/IEC 13818. The system layer supports six basic functions:

1) the synchronization of multiple compressed streams on decoding;

2) the interleaving of multiple compressed streams into a single stream;

3) the initialization of buffering for decoding start up;

4) continuous buffer management;

5) time identification;

6) multiplexing and signalling of various components in a system stream.

Project need:

To align Canadian requirements with those of the respective international standards being proposed for adoption. To maintain alignment between Canadian information and communication technology standards and each respective international standard.
