    abstract =  {This document specifies LOCMAF (Low Overhead CMAF for Media over QUIC), a compact packaging for low-latency CMAF media carried end-to- end as MoQ Transport (MOQT) Object payloads, with per-object overhead comparable to the Low Overhead Container (LOC). LOCMAF carries the CMAF chunk head metadata from a single moof (movie fragment) as a small set of tagged fields, while leaving the sample data (mdat) untouched. Boxes that may surround the moof in a CMAF chunk — styp (segment type), prft (producer reference time), and any number of emsg (event message) boxes — are carried verbatim, each through a generic box element (a genBox). The first Object of each MOQT group carries a full reference; subsequent Objects in the same group carry only the differences. The receiver reconstructs CMAF chunks that are decode-equivalent to the sender input, including the encryption metadata required by CMAF DRM (Common Encryption) pipelines, and a canonical byte-identical reconstruction — independent of the encoder's representation choices — is defined for conformance testing.},
