Internet-Draft RTP Payload Format for HEVC September 6, 2013
Abstract
This memo describes an RTP payload format for the video coding
standard ITU-T Recommendation H.265 and ISO/IEC International
Standard 23008-2, both also known as High Efficiency Video Coding
(HEVC) [HEVC], developed by the Joint Collaborative Team on Video
Coding (JCT-VC). The RTP payload format allows for packetization of
one or more Network Abstraction Layer (NAL) units in each RTP packet
payload, as well as fragmentation of a NAL unit into multiple RTP
packets. Furthermore, it supports transmission of an HEVC stream
over a single as well as multiple RTP flows. The payload format has
wide applicability in videoconferencing, Internet video streaming,
and high bit-rate entertainment-quality video, among others.
