Real-time Transport Protocol Payload Format for Enhanced AC-3 Audio
RFC 4598, “Real-time Transport Protocol Payload Format for Enhanced AC-3 Audio”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2006 by B. Link. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) payload format for transporting Enhanced AC-3 (E-AC-3) encoded audio data. E-AC-3 is a high-quality, multichannel audio coding format and is an extension of the AC-3 audio coding format, which is used in US High-Definition Television (HDTV), DVD, cable and satellite television, and other media. E-AC-3 is an optional audio format in US and world wide digital television and high-definition DVD formats. The RTP payload format as presented in this document includes support for data fragmentation. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
