VVC Video Constraints for Cable Television Part 2- Transport

Executive Summary

This document describes the constraints of carriage of a single VVC coded video elementary stream over an MPEG-2 transport stream.

Scope

This document defines the transport constraints on ITU-T Rec. H.266 | ISO/IEC 23090-3 [MPEG-VVC] video compression (hereafter called "VVC") for cable television. In particular, this document describes the transmission of a single VVC coded video elementary stream constrained per [SCTE 281-1] over MPEG-2 transport (ISO/IEC 13818-1 [MPEG-2 TS]) for linear delivery systems supporting ad insertion services [SCTE 35]. Beyond linear delivery with DPI, signaling is provided for segmentation of contents for xDVR applications.

Intended Audience

This document specifies the transport of an VVC coded video elementary stream constrained per [SCTE 281-1] intended for cable video services. There are other applications such as time-shifting (e.g., PVR/DVR service), Video-on-Demand services, and splicing (e.g., Ad-insertion) that could employ the specifications in this document. However, constraints specific to those applications are outside of the scope of his document at this time.
