Full title and description

ISO/IEC 13818-6:1998/Cor 2:2002 — Information technology — Generic coding of moving pictures and associated audio information — Part 6: Extensions for DSM-CC — Technical Corrigendum 2. This corrigendum contains technical corrections and editorial fixes to the Part 6 (DSM-CC extensions) text of ISO/IEC 13818:1998 intended to correct errors and clarify the specification for implementers and document custodians.

Abstract

This document is a Technical Corrigendum (Corrigendum 2) to ISO/IEC 13818-6:1998 (the MPEG-2 DSM-CC extensions). It provides a small set of corrections to the published 1998 Part 6 text — typically editorial fixes, corrected bit-field definitions, and clarifications of protocol element descriptions — so that implementations based on the 1998 edition can resolve known errata without changing the base standard edition. The corrigendum itself is a short, single-page publication.

General information

• Status: Published (Technical Corrigendum).
• Publication date: August 2002 (ISO record); also listed as 12 September 2002 on the IEC webstore.
• Publisher: ISO (ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29 responsible committee).
• ICS / categories: 35.040.40 — Coding of audio, video, multimedia and hypermedia information.
• Edition / version: Edition 1 (Corrigendum to ISO/IEC 13818-6:1998, labeled Cor 2:2002).
• Number of pages: 1.

Scope

The corrigendum applies only to ISO/IEC 13818-6:1998 (Part 6 of the MPEG-2 family) and provides corrections to the published text of that part. It does not introduce new normative functionality or replace the base edition; instead it amends and clarifies specific clauses, tables or bit-level definitions in the Part 6 text so implementers of DSM-CC extensions can resolve ambiguities and known errors. Users should apply the corrigendum together with the 1998 Part 6 text.

Key topics and requirements

• Corrections and editorial fixes to DSM-CC (Digital Storage Media Command and Control) extension text in Part 6.
• Clarifications of message and syntax definitions to reduce ambiguity for implementers.
• Small changes intended to correct errata without altering the normative behavior expected by existing compliant implementations.
• Compatibility-preserving: meant to be applied in conjunction with ISO/IEC 13818-6:1998, not as a standalone replacement.

Typical use and users

Primarily used by standards implementers, codec and receiver manufacturers, broadcast system integrators, software engineers implementing DSM-CC features (carousel, object carousels, data broadcasting), test labs, and standards librarians. It is referenced when verifying conformance to the 1998 Part 6 text or when resolving specific errata during product development, interoperability testing, or archival documentation.

Related standards

This corrigendum is part of the ISO/IEC 13818 (MPEG-2) family.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is ISO/IEC 13818-6:1998/Cor 2:2002, a Technical Corrigendum (Corrigendum 2) issued to correct and clarify parts of ISO/IEC 13818-6:1998 (the MPEG-2 DSM-CC extensions). The corrigendum is a published, single-page correction document.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It provides targeted corrections and editorial clarifications to the Part 6 DSM-CC text (bit-field definitions, protocol syntax/semantics clarifications and similar errata fixes) so that implementers and documentation custodians can apply the fixes to the 1998 edition. It does not add normative new features beyond what the base standard defines.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Implementers of MPEG-2 DSM-CC (hardware and software vendors), broadcast technology integrators, interoperability and conformance test houses, and standards librarians or archivists who maintain correct versions of the Part 6 text.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The corrigendum itself was published in 2002 and applies to the 1998 edition. The ISO catalogue shows the base Part 6:1998 edition and its corrigenda/amendments and indicates the 1998 edition has been subject to review and confirmation; users should consult the ISO catalogue for the very latest status. As of the ISO record, Corrigendum 2 is a published correction to the 1998 edition and should be applied where relevant.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of the ISO/IEC 13818 (MPEG-2) series. Part 6 is one part of that multi-part standard; Corrigendum 2 amends only Part 6 (DSM-CC extensions). Other parts of ISO/IEC 13818 cover systems, video, audio, and additional extensions.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: DSM-CC, MPEG-2, corrigendum, errata, data broadcasting, object carousel, ISO/IEC 13818-6.
