SMPTE 2037-2009

This standard defines how VC-1 bitstreams shall be mapped in the MXF Generic Container (SMPTE 379M).

VC-1 defines three possible profiles for compliant bitstreams: Simple, Main and Advanced. All of these profiles are supported by this standard.

VC-1 bitstreams comprise VC-1 encoded Pictures and both intra-coding and inter-coding mechanisms can be used. Both coding mechanisms are supported in this standard.

This standard maps the VC-1 encoded Pictures as either frame-wrapped or clip-wrapped using the mechanisms defined in SMPTE 379M, and both progressive and interlaced Picture representations are supported in this standard.

This standard defines the KLV coding, the Essence Container Universal Label, the Essence Compression Universal Label and the Essence Descriptor to be used when wrapping VC-1 bitstreams in the MXF Generic Container.
