Full title and description

ISO/IEC 23000-11:2009 — Information technology — Multimedia application format (MPEG‑A) — Part 11: Stereoscopic video application format, with Amendment 1 (2011) for conformance and reference software. This deliverable defines the file‑format-level signalling and storage mechanisms needed to carry stereoscopic (3D) video content based on the ISO base media file format and provides an amendment adding conformance and reference software material.

Abstract

Specifies a file format for storage, interchange, management, editing and presentation of stereoscopic video contents (single or dual‑track) built on the ISO base media file format. Defines stereoscopic composition types, visual‑type signalling, stereo/mono change markers, stereoscopic camera/display metadata and track referencing to identify primary/secondary view sequences; enables both pure stereoscopic and stereo/monoscopic mixed content for mobile and other environments.

Scope

Defines a stereoscopic video application format (part of the MPEG‑A family) that specifies file branding, composition types for stereoscopic presentations, track and fragment structures, and metadata needed to support correct playback and safety information for stereoscopic media. It applies to storage and interchange of stereoscopic and stereo/monoscopic mixed contents, particularly for mobile and constrained playback environments.

Key topics and requirements

• File type brand and container structures specific to stereoscopic video (based on ISO base media file format).
• Four stereoscopic composition types and associated signalling for composition and visual type.
• Support for single‑track or two‑track stereoscopic storage and track reference semantics for primary/secondary views.
• Metadata for stereoscopic camera/display parameters and visual safety information.
• Mechanisms to identify stereo/mono fragment changes for mixed contents and item location for stereoscopic fragments.
• Amendment 1: conformance definitions and reference software resources to support implementation and testing.

Typical use and users

Implementers of multimedia file formats and players, codec and content packaging developers, device manufacturers (mobile phones, tablets, stereoscopic displays), content production houses and testing laboratories requiring standardized stereoscopic file packaging, and vendors producing conformance test suites or reference software for MPEG‑A stereoscopic content.

Related standards

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO/IEC 23000‑11:2009 is the MPEG‑A Part 11 stereoscopic video application format; Amendment 1 (2011) adds conformance and reference software material to support implementations.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the container-level format, composition types and stereoscopic signalling (including camera/display metadata and fragment markers) needed to store and present stereoscopic and mixed stereo/mono video using the ISO base media file format.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Multimedia platform and player developers, content packagers, device manufacturers supporting stereoscopic playback, and testing/conformance labs.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The base part was published in November 2009 and remains published; it has been confirmed in subsequent reviews and has three published amendments (including Amendment 1:2011). Implementers should consult the base part plus published amendments for current normative content.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 11 of the ISO/IEC 23000 (MPEG‑A) family of multimedia application format standards. Several other parts and amendments exist within the 23000 series.
