Supplement 225: Multi-Fragment Video Transfer Syntax

This resource provides new transfer syntaxes that permit fragmenting video encoding. The transfer syntaxes correspond to 5 existing transfer syntaxes: MPEG2 Main Profile/Main Level Video Compression, MPEG2 Main Profile/High Level Video Compression, MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 High Profile/Level 4.1 Video Compression, MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 High Profile/Level 4.2 Video Compression and MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 Stereo High Profile/Level 4.2 Video Compression. The resource responds to the appearance of videos larger than 2^32-2 bytes (for example, procedure video recordings), which previously needed to be split into multiple DICOM instances.

HEVC/H.265 Main Profile/Level 5.1 and HEVC/H.265 Main 10 Profile/Level 5.1 already specify the use of more than one fragment so do not need to be modified.

Main sections:

· Scope and field of application

· Native or encapsulated format encoding

· Transfer syntax for MPEG2 Main Profile/Main Level Video Compression

· Transfer syntax for MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 Stereo High Profile/Level 4.2 Video Compression
