  • Patent Application Serial No. 61/354,422 entitled “Extension to the Extractor data structure of SVC/MVC file formats,” and filed on June 14, 2010, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61/354,424, entitled “Some extensions for ISO Base Media File Format for HTTP streaming,” and filed on June 14, 2010.
  • the teachings of the above- identified provisional patent applications are expressly incorporated herein by reference.
  • the present invention relates generally to HTTP streaming. More specifically, the invention relates to encapsulating a media entity for coded multi-component video streams such as scalable video coding (SVC) steams and multi-view coding (MVC) streams for HTTP streaming.
  • SVC scalable video coding
  • MVC multi-view coding
  • an encoded video is often encapsulated and stored at the server side as a file that is compliant with BMFF, such as an MP4 file.
  • the file is usually divided into multiple movie fragments and these fragments are further grouped into segments, which are addressable by client URL requests.
  • different encoded representations of the video content are stored in these segments, so that a client can dynamically choose the desired representation to download and playback during a session.
  • Encoded layered video such as an SVC or MVC bitstream, provides natural support for such bitrate adaptation by enabling different operating points, i.e., representations, in terms of temporal / spatial resolutions, quality, views, etc., by decoding different subsets of the bitstream.
  • BMFF ISO Base Media File Format
  • MP4 file format the metadata for all the layers or representations for one media file are stored in the moov Movie Box, while the media content data for all the layers or representations are stored in the mdat Movie Box.
  • HTTP streaming when the client requests one layer, the whole file has to be sent since all the layers or representations are mixed together and the client does not know where to find the required layer or representation.
  • Extractor is an internal file data structure defined in the SVC / MVC Amendments to the AVC file format extension of BMFF: Information Technology - coding of audio-visual objects - Part 15: Advanced Video Coding (AVC) file format, Amendment 2: File format support for Scalable Video Coding, 2008, pages 15-17. Extractor is designed to enable extraction of NAL units from other tracks by reference, without copying.
  • track is a timed sequence of related samples in an ISO base media file. For media data, a track corresponds to a sequence of images or sampled audio.
  • the syntax of Extractor is shown below: class aligned(8) Extractor () ⁇
  • NALUnitHeader The NAL unit structure as specified in ISO/IEC 14496-10 Annex G for NAL units of type 20:
  • nal_unit_type shall be set to the extractor NAL unit type (type 31).
  • forbidden_zero_bit, reserved_one_bit, and reserved_three_2bits shall be set as specified in ISO/IEC 14496-10 Annex G.
  • Video Coding (AVC) file format Amendment 2: File format support for Scalable Video Coding, ISO/IEC 14496-15 : 2004/ Amd.2: 2008, page 17.
  • AVC Video Coding
  • track_ref_index specifies the index of the track reference of type 'seal' to use to find the track from which to extract data.
  • the sample in that track from which data is extracted is temporally aligned or nearest preceding in the media decoding timeline, i.e. using the time- to-sample table only, adjusted by an offset specified by sample_offset with the sample containing the Extractor.
  • the first track reference has the index value 1; the value 0 is reserved.
  • sample_offset gives the relative index of the sample in the linked track that shall be used as the source of information.
  • Sample 0 zero is the sample with the same, or the closest preceding, decoding time compared to the decoding time of the sample containing the extractor; sample 1 (one) is the next sample, sample -1 (minus 1) is the previous sample, and so on.
  • data_offset The offset of the first byte within the reference sample to copy. If the extraction starts with the first byte of data in that sample, the offset takes the value 0. The offset shall reference the beginning of a NAL unit length field.
  • data_length The number of bytes to copy. If this field takes the value 0, then the entire single referenced NAL unit is copied (i.e. the length to copy is taken from the length field referenced by the data offset, augmented by the additional_bytes field in the case of Aggregators). Further details can be found in Information technology - Coding of audio-visual objects - part 15: Advanced Video Coding (AVC) file format, Amendment 2: File format support for Scalable Video Coding, ISO/IEC 14496-15 :2004/Amd.2:2008.
  • AVC Advanced Video Coding
  • a client If a client has already downloaded one or more content component of a piece of media content from the server, and is in the process to download another content component, the client needs to know whether the previously downloaded content components are among the set of the dependent components of the new one, so that it can make other requests as necessary to download the complete component set.
