RTP Payload Format for VC-2 High Quality Profile

Overview

RFC 8450, “RTP Payload Format for VC-2 High Quality Profile”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2018 by J. Weaver. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This memo describes an RTP payload format for the High Quality (HQ) profile of Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers Standard ST 2042-1, known as VC-2. This document describes the transport of HQ Profile VC-2 in RTP packets and has applications for low-complexity, high-bandwidth streaming of both lossless and lossy compressed video.

The HQ profile of VC-2 is intended for low-latency video compression (with latency potentially on the order of lines of video) at high data rates (with compression ratios on the order of 2:1 or 4:1).
