Full title and description

ISO/IEC 23000-9:2008/Amd 1:2010/Cor 1:2011 — Information technology — Multimedia application format (MPEG‑A) — Part 9: Digital Multimedia Broadcasting application format — Amendment 1: Conformance and reference software — Corrigendum 1: Technical corrigendum. Defines a standard file/application format and conformance elements for terrestrial and satellite Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (T‑DMB and S‑DMB) content to enable interoperable storage, interchange, management, editing and presentation of DMB services and associated metadata.

Abstract

This part of ISO/IEC 23000 (MPEG‑A Part 9) specifies a file and application format for Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) content and services. It integrates DMB audio, video and data items with descriptive and control metadata to support storage, scheduled/time‑shift playback, file casting, IP delivery portals, protected interchange between terminals and user editing/creation workflows. Amendment 1 adds conformance definitions and reference software; Corrigendum 1 provides technical corrections to the amendment.

Scope

Specifies a standardized file/application format for DMB (both terrestrial and satellite variants) that packages broadcast content and service metadata for storage, playback, interchange and management. The scope covers encapsulation of audio/video/data items, service and content descriptors, time‑shift and scheduled playback support, mechanisms for transfer via DMB data channels and networks, and provisions to support controlled/rights‑aware interchange. Amendment 1 introduces conformance definitions and reference software to aid implementers; Corrigendum 1 corrects technical errors in that amendment.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of the DMB application file/container structure to hold audio, video and data streams together with service metadata.
• Metadata and descriptors for service identification, timing, program structure, rights and content management.
• Support for both T‑DMB (terrestrial) and S‑DMB (satellite) payloads and related transport constraints.
• Requirements for scheduled and time‑shifted playback, file casting and IP‑assisted delivery of DMB content.
• Interchange and editing provisions to enable rightful transfer of content between terminals and user editing workflows.
• Conformance definitions and reference software (added by Amendment 1) to validate implementations.
• Technical corrections and clarifications to the amendment provided by Corrigendum 1.
• Guidance to harmonize storage/packetization with common transport formats where applicable (implementation notes and annexes).

Typical use and users

Intended for broadcasters, DMB service operators, receiver and mobile device manufacturers, middleware and player software developers, chipset vendors, system integrators, and organizations implementing lawful‑interchange or archiving workflows for DMB content. Useful for implementers needing a standardized file format, conformance tests and reference code to ensure interoperability across DMB terminals and delivery systems.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO/IEC 23000‑9:2008 (with Amendment 1:2010 and Corrigendum 1:2011) is the MPEG‑A Part 9 specification that defines a standardized file/application format for Digital Multimedia Broadcasting content and associated conformance material and corrections.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the structure and required metadata for packaging DMB audio, video and data for storage, playback and interchange; use cases include scheduled/time‑shift playback, file casting over DMB data channels, portal/IP delivery of DMB content, and controlled interchange between devices. The amendment adds conformance requirements and reference software; the corrigendum fixes technical issues in the amendment.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Broadcasters, DMB service providers, device and chipset manufacturers, player/middleware developers, system integrators and archival or content‑management teams that require an interoperable format and conformance tools for DMB services.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The original standard was published in August 2008, Amendment 1 was published in August 2010 and Corrigendum 1 in May 2011. The document has been maintained via amendments and corrigenda; implementers should check the formal ISO catalogue or their national standards body for the latest confirmation/review status before procurement or compliance work.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 9 of the ISO/IEC 23000 series (MPEG‑A). The MPEG‑A suite contains many parts, each targeting a specific application format (music player, photo player, portable video, surveillance, DMB, augmented reality, etc.).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: DMB, T‑DMB, S‑DMB, MPEG‑A, application format, file format, conformance, reference software, metadata, interoperability.
