JPEG 2000 is a picture-by-picture compression coding defined by ISO-IEC 15444-1 and used for both individual pictures and picture sequences. This standard specifies the mapping of JPEG 2000 codestreams into a picture essence track of the MXF generic container in both frame-wrapped and clip-wrapped forms.

The MXF generic container is the native essence container of the material exchange format (MXF) file body. The MXF generic container is defined for the interchange of streamable audio-visual material.

This standard defines the data structure at the signal interfaces of networks or storage media. This standard does not define internal storage formats for MXF compliant devices.
