CSA Group Information Technology - Multimedia Framework (MPEG-21) - Part 12: Test Bed for MPEG-21 Resource Delivery (ISO/IEC TR 21000-12:2005, first edition, 2005-04-01)

Preface Standards development within the Information Technology sector is harmonized with international standards development. Through the CSA Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCIT), Canadians serve as the Canadian Advisory Committee (CAC) on ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 on Information Technology (ISO/IEC JTC1) for the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the ISO member body for Canada and sponsor of the Canadian National Committee of the IEC. Also, as a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Canada participates in the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (ITU-T).  Scope This Technical Report specifies a test bed that is designed to assist in performance assessment of MPEG-21, Scalable Video Coding (SVC) for streaming applications and for the evaluation of resource delivery technologies over unreliable packet-switched networks. A subset of MPEG-4 IPMP is also included in the test bed so that encrypted streaming and layered access functionality of a DRM system can be tested for different SVC designs.
