RTP Payload Format for ISO/IEC 21122 (JPEG XS)
draft-ietf-payload-rtp-jpegxs-18
Abstract
This document specifies a Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) payload
format to be used for transporting JPEG XS (ISO/IEC 21122) encoded
video. JPEG XS is a low-latency, lightweight image coding system.
Compared to an uncompressed video use case, it allows higher
resolutions and video frame rates, while offering visually lossless
quality, reduced power consumption, and encoding-decoding latency
confined to a fraction of a video frame.

1. Introduction
This document specifies a payload format for packetization of JPEG XS
[ISO21122-1] encoded video signals into the Real-time Transport
Protocol (RTP) [RFC3550].
The JPEG XS coding system offers compression and recompression of
image sequences with very moderate computational resources while
Lugan, et al. Expires January 29, 2022 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft RTP Payload Format for JPEG XS July 2021
remaining robust under multiple compression and decompression cycles
and mixing of content sources, e.g. embedding of subtitles, overlays
or logos. Typical target compression ratios ensuring visually
lossless quality are in the range of 2:1 to 10:1, depending on the
nature of the source material. The latency that is introduced by the
encoding-decoding process can be confined to a fraction of a video
frame, typically between a small number of lines down to below a
single line.

3. Media Format Description
This section explains the terminology and concepts used in this memo
that are specific to JPEG XS as specified in [ISO21122-1],
[ISO21122-2], and [ISO21122-3].
3.1. Image Data Structures
JPEG XS is a low-latency lightweight image coding system for coding
continuous-tone grayscale or continuous-tone color digital images.
This coding system provides an efficient representation of image
signals through the mathematical tool of wavelet analysis. The
wavelet filter process separates each component into multiple bands,
where each band consists of multiple coefficients describing the
image signal of a given component within a frequency domain specific
to the wavelet filter type, i.e. the particular filter corresponding
to the band.
Wavelet coefficients are grouped into precincts, where each precinct
includes all coefficients over all bands that contribute to a spatial
region of the image.
One or multiple precincts are furthermore combined into slices
consisting of an integer number of precincts. Precincts do not cross
slice boundaries, and wavelet coefficients in precincts that are part
of different slices can be decoded independently of each other.
Note, however, that the wavelet transformation runs across slice
boundaries. A slice always extends over the full width of the image,
but may only cover parts of its height.
3.2. Codestream
A JPEG XS codestream is formed by (in the given order):
o a JPEG XS codestream header, which starts with an SOC marker,
o one or more slices,
o an EOC marker to signal the end of the codestream.
The JPEG XS codestream format, including the definition of all
markers, is further defined in [ISO21122-1]. It represents sample
values of a single image, without any interpretation relative to a
color space.
Lugan, et al. Expires January 29, 2022 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft RTP Payload Format for JPEG XS July 2021
3.3. Video support box and color specification box
While the information defined in the codestream is sufficient to
reconstruct the sample values of one image, the interpretation of the
samples remains undefined by the codestream itself. This
interpretation is given by the video support box and the color
specification box which contain significant information to correctly
play the JPEG XS stream. The layout and syntax of these boxes,
together with their content, are defined in [ISO21122-3].
The video support box provides information on the maximum bitrate,
the frame rate, the interlaced mode (progressive or interlaced), the
subsampling image format, the informative timecode of the current
JPEG XS frame, the profile, level/sublevel used, and optionally on
the buffer model and the mastering display metadata.
Note that the profile and level/sublevel, specified by respectively
the Ppih and Plev fields [ISO21122-2], specify limits on the
capabilities needed to decode the codestream and handle the output.
Profiles represent a limit on the required algorithmic features and
parameter ranges used in the codestream. The combination of level
and sublevel defines a lower bound on the required throughput for a
decoder in respectively the image (or decoded) domain and the
codestream (or coded) domain. The actual defined profiles and
levels/sublevels, along with the associated values for the Ppih and
Plev fields, are defined in [ISO21122-2].
The color specification box indicates the color primaries, transfer
characteristics, matrix coefficients and video full range flag needed
to specify the color space of the video stream.
3.4. JPEG XS Frame
The concatenation of a video support box, a color specification box,
and a JPEG XS codestream forms a JPEG XS picture segment.
In the case of a progressive video stream, each JPEG XS frame
consists of one single JPEG XS picture segment.
In the case of an interlaced video stream, each JPEG XS frame is made
of two concatenated JPEG XS picture segments. The codestream of each
picture segment corresponds exclusively to one of the two fields of
the interlaced frame. Both picture segments SHALL contain identical
boxes (i.e. concatenation of the video support box and the color
specification box is byte exact the same for both picture segments of
the frame).
Lugan, et al. Expires January 29, 2022 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft RTP Payload Format for JPEG XS July 2021
Note that the interlaced mode, as signaled by the frat field
[ISO21122-3] in the video support box, indicates either progressive,
interlaced top-field first, or interlaced bottom-field first mode.
Thus, in the case of interlaced content, its value SHALL also be
identical in both picture segments.
4. RTP Payload Format
This section specifies the payload format for JPEG XS streams over
the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) [RFC3550].
In order to be transported over RTP, each JPEG XS stream is
transported in a distinct RTP stream, identified by a distinct
Synchronization source (SSRC) [RFC3550].
A JPEG XS stream is divided into Application Data Units (ADUs), each
ADU corresponding to a single JPEG XS frame.
4.1. RTP packetization
An ADU is made of several packetization units. If a packetization
unit is bigger than the maximum size of an RTP packet payload, the
unit is split into multiple RTP packet payloads, as illustrated in
Figure 1. As seen there, each packet SHALL contain (part of) one and
only one packetization unit. A packetization unit may extend over
multiple packets. The payload of every packet SHALL have the same
size (based e.g. on the Maximum Transfer Unit of the network), except
(possibly) the last packet of a packetization unit. The boundaries
of a packetization unit SHALL coincide with the boundaries of the
payload of a packet (excluding the payload header), i.e. the first
(resp. last) byte of the packetization unit SHALL be the first (resp.
last) byte of the payload (excluding its header).

Figure 1: Example of ADU packetization
There are two different packetization modes defined for this RTP
payload format.
1. Codestream packetization mode: in this mode, the packetization
unit SHALL be the entire JPEG XS picture segment (i.e. codestream
preceded by boxes). This means that a progressive frame will
have a single packetization unit, while an interlaced frame will
have two. The progressive case is illustrated in Figure 2.
2. Slice packetization mode: in this mode, the packetization unit
SHALL be the slice, i.e. there SHALL be data from no more than
one slice per RTP packet. The first packetization unit SHALL be
made of the JPEG XS header segment (i.e. the concatenation of the
VS box, the CS box and the JPEG XS codestream header). This
first unit is then followed by successive units, each containing
one and only one slice. The packetization unit containing the
last slice of a JPEG XS codestream SHALL also contain the EOC
marker immediately following this last slice. This is
illustrated in Figure 3. In the case of an interlaced frame, the
JPEG XS header segment of the second field SHALL be in its own
packetization unit.

Figure 3: Example of slice packetization mode
In a constant bit-rate (CBR) scenario of JPEG XS, the codestream
packetization mode guarantees that a JPEG XS RTP stream will produce
a constant number of bytes per video frame, and a constant number of
RTP packets per video frame. However, to provide similar guarantees
with JPEG XS in a variable bit-rate (VBR) mode or when using the
slice packetization mode (for either CBR or VBR), additional
mechanisms are needed. This can involve a constraint at the rate
allocation stage in the JPEG XS encoder to impose a constant bit-rate
at the slice level, the usage of padding data, or the insertion of
empty RTP packets (i.e. an RTP packet whose payload data is empty).
But, management of the amount of produced packets per video frame is
application dependent and not a strict requirement of this RTP
payload specification.

4.2. RTP Header Usage
The format of the RTP header is specified in [RFC3550] and reprinted
in Figure 4 for convenience. This RTP payload format uses the fields
of the header in a manner consistent with that specification.
The RTP payload (and the settings for some RTP header bits) for
packetization units are specified in Section 4.3.

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 4: RTP header according to RFC 3550
The version (V), padding (P), extension (X), CSRC count (CC),
sequence number, synchronization source (SSRC) and contributing
source (CSRC) fields follow their respective definitions in
[RFC3550].
The remaining RTP header information to be set according to this RTP
payload format is set as follows:
Marker (M) [1 bit]:
If progressive scan video is being transmitted, the marker bit
denotes the end of a video frame. If interlaced video is being
transmitted, it denotes the end of the field. The marker bit
SHALL be set to 1 for the last packet of the video frame/field.
It SHALL be set to 0 for all other packets.
Payload Type (PT) [7 bits]:
A dynamically allocated payload type field that designates the
payload as JPEG XS video.
Timestamp [32 bits]:
Lugan, et al. Expires January 29, 2022 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft RTP Payload Format for JPEG XS July 2021
The RTP timestamp is set to the sampling timestamp of the content.
A 90 kHz clock rate SHALL be used.
As specified in [RFC3550] and [RFC4175], the RTP timestamp
designates the sampling instant of the first octet of the video
frame to which the RTP packet belongs. Packets SHALL NOT include
data from multiple video frames, and all packets belonging to the
same video frame SHALL have the same timestamp. Several
successive RTP packets will consequently have equal timestamps if
they belong to the same video frame (that is until the marker bit
is set to 1, marking the last packet of the video frame), and the
timestamp is only increased when a new video frame begins.
If the sampling instant does not correspond to an integer value of
the clock, the value SHALL be truncated to the next lowest
integer, with no ambiguity.
4.3. Payload Header Usage
The first four bytes of the payload of an RTP packet in this RTP
payload format are referred to as the payload header. Figure 5
illustrates the structure of this payload header.
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 5: Payload header
The payload header consists of the following fields:
Transmission mode (T) [1 bit]:
The T bit is set to indicate that packets are sent sequentially by
the transmitter. This information allows a receiver to dimension
its input buffer(s) accordingly. If T=0, nothing can be assumed
about the transmission order and packets may be sent out-of-order
by the transmitter. If T=1, packets SHALL be sent sequentially by
the transmitter. The T bit value SHALL be identical for all
packets of the RTP stream.
pacKetization mode (K) [1 bit]:
The K bit is set to indicate which packetization mode is used.
K=0 indicates codestream packetization mode, while K=1 indicates
slice packetization mode. In the case that the Transmission mode
Lugan, et al. Expires January 29, 2022 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft RTP Payload Format for JPEG XS July 2021
(T) is set to 0 (out-of-order), the slice packetization mode SHALL
be used and K SHALL be set to 1. This is required, because only
the slice packetization mode supports out-of-order packet
transmission. The K bit value SHALL be identical for all packets
of the RTP stream.
Last (L) [1 bit]:
The L bit is set to indicate the last packet of a packetization
unit. As the end of the video frame also ends the packet
containing the last unit of the video frame, the L bit is set
whenever the M bit is set. In the codestream packetization mode
the L bit and M bit get an equivalent meaning, so they SHALL have
identical values in each packet.
Interlaced information (I) [2 bit]:
These two I bits are used to indicate how the JPEG XS frame is
scanned (progressive or interlaced). In case of an interlaced
frame, they also indicate which JPEG XS picture segment the
payload is part of (first or second).
00: The payload is progressively scanned.
01: Reserved for future use.
10: The payload is part of the first JPEG XS picture segment of
an interlaced video frame. The height specified in the
included JPEG XS codestream header is half of the height of the
entire displayed image.
11: The payload is part of the second JPEG XS picture segment of
an interlaced video frame. The height specified in the
included JPEG XS codestream header is half of the height of the
entire displayed image.
F counter [5 bits]:
The frame (F) counter identifies the video frame number modulo 32
to which a packet belongs. Frame numbers are incremented by 1 for
each video frame transmitted. The frame number, in addition to
the timestamp, may help the decoder manage its input buffer and
bring packets back into their natural order.
SEP counter [11 bits]:
The Slice and Extended Packet (SEP) counter is used differently
depending on the packetization mode.
Lugan, et al. Expires January 29, 2022 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft RTP Payload Format for JPEG XS July 2021
* In the case of codestream packetization mode (K=0), this
counter resets whenever the Packet counter resets (see
Section 4.4), and increments by 1 whenever the Packet counter
overruns.
* In the case of slice packetization mode (K=1), this counter
identifies the slice modulo 2047 to which the packet
contributes. If the data belongs to the JPEG XS header
segment, this field SHALL have its maximal value, namely 2047 =
0x07ff. Otherwise, it is the slice index modulo 2047. Slice
indices are counted from 0 (corresponding to the top of the
video frame).
P counter [11 bits]:
The packet (P) counter identifies the packet number modulo 2048
within the current packetization unit. It is set to 0 at the
start of the packetization unit and incremented by 1 for every
subsequent packet (if any) belonging to the same unit.
Practically, if codestream packetization mode is enabled, this
field counts the packets within a JPEG XS picture segment and is
extended by the SEP counter when it overruns. If slice
packetization mode is enabled, this field counts the packets
within a slice or within the JPEG XS header segment.
4.4. Payload Data
The payload data of a JPEG XS RTP stream consists of a concatenation
of multiple JPEG XS frames. Within the RTP stream, all of the video
support boxes and all of the color specification boxes SHALL retain
their respective layouts for each JPEG XS frame. Thus, each video
support box in the RTP stream SHALL define the same sub boxes. The
effective values in the boxes are allowed to change under the
condition that their relative byte offsets SHALL NOT change.
Each JPEG XS frame is the concatenation of one or more packetization
unit(s), as explained in Section 4.1. Figure 6 depicts this layout
for a progressive video frame in the codestream packetization mode,
Figure 7 depicts this layout for an interlaced video frame in the
codestream packetization mode, Figure 8 depicts this layout for a
progressive video frame in the slice packetization mode and Figure 9
depicts this layout for an interlaced video frame in the slice
packetization mode. The Frame counter value is not indicated because
the value is constant for all packetization units of a given video
frame.

5. Traffic Shaping and Delivery Timing
In order to facilitate proper synchronization between senders and
receivers it is RECOMMENDED to implement traffic shaping and delivery
timing in accordance with the Network Compatibility Model compliance
definitions specified in [SMPTE-ST2110-21]. In such case, the
session description SHALL signal the compliance with the media type
parameter TP. The actual applied traffic shaping and timing delivery
Lugan, et al. Expires January 29, 2022 [Page 18]
Internet-Draft RTP Payload Format for JPEG XS July 2021
mechanism is outside the scope of this memo and does not influence
the payload packetization.
6. Congestion Control Considerations
Congestion control for RTP SHALL be used in accordance with
[RFC3550], and with any applicable RTP profile: e.g. RTP/AVP
[RFC3551] or RTP/AVPF [RFC4585].
While JPEG XS is mainly designed to be used in controlled network
environments, it can also be employed in best-effort network
environments, like the Internet. However, in this case the users of
this payload format SHALL monitor packet loss to ensure that the
packet loss rate is within acceptable parameters. This can be
achieved for example by means of the RTP Control Protocol (RTCP)
Feedback for Congestion Control [RFC8888].
In addition, Circuit Breakers [RFC8083] is an update to RTP [RFC3550]
that defines criteria for when one is required to stop sending RTP
Packet Streams and applications implementing this standard SHALL
comply with it.
[RFC8085] provides additional information on the best practices for
applying congestion control to UDP streams.
7. Payload Format Parameters
This section specifies the required and optional parameters of the
payload format and/or the RTP stream. All parameters are
declarative, meaning that the information signaled by the parameters
is also present in the payload data, namely in the payload header
(see Section 4.3) or in the JPEG XS header segment [ISO21122-1]
[ISO21122-3]. When provided, their respective values SHALL be
consistent with the payload.
7.1. Media Type Registration
This registration is done using the template defined in [RFC6838]
and following [RFC4855].
The receiver SHALL ignore any unrecognized parameter.

Optional parameters:
transmode: This parameter specifies the configured transmission
mode as defined by the Transmission mode (T) bit in the payload
header of Section 4.3. If specified, this value SHALL be equal
to the T bit value configured in the RTP stream (i.e. 0 for
out-of-order-allowed or 1 for sequential-only). If not
specified, a value 1 (sequential-only) SHALL be assumed and the
T bit SHALL be set to 1.

8. SDP Parameters
A mapping of the parameters into the Session Description Protocol
(SDP) [RFC8866] is provided for applications that use SDP.
8.1. Mapping of Payload Type Parameters to SDP
The media type video/jxsv string is mapped to fields in the Session
Description Protocol (SDP) [RFC8866] as follows:
The media type ("video") goes in SDP "m=" as the media name.
The media subtype ("jxsv") goes in SDP "a=rtpmap" as the encoding
name, followed by a slash ("/") and the required parameter "rate"
corresponding to the RTP timestamp clock rate (which for the
payload format defined in this document SHALL be 90000).
The required parameter "packetmode", and any of the additional
optional parameters, as described in Section 7.1, go in the SDP
media format description, being the "a=fmtp" attribute (Format
Parameters), by copying them directly from the MIME media type
string as a semicolon-separated list of parameter=value pairs.
All parameters of the media format SHALL correspond to the parameters
of the payload. In case of discrepancies between payload parameter
Lugan, et al. Expires January 29, 2022 [Page 24]
Internet-Draft RTP Payload Format for JPEG XS July 2021
values and SDP fields, the values from the payload data SHALL
prevail.
The receiver SHALL ignore any parameter that is not defined in
Section 7.1.
An example SDP mapping for JPEG XS video is as follows:
m=video 30000 RTP/AVP 112
a=rtpmap:112 jxsv/90000
a=fmtp:112 packetmode=0;sampling=YCbCr-4:2:2;
width=1920;height=1080;depth=10;
colorimetry=BT709;TCS=SDR;RANGE=FULL;TP=2110TPNL
In this example, a JPEG XS RTP stream is to be sent to UDP
destination port 30000, with an RTP dynamic payload type of 112 and a
media clock rate of 90000 Hz. Note that the "a=fmtp:" line has been
wrapped to fit this page, and will be a single long line in the SDP
file. This example includes the TP parameter (as specified in
Section 5).
8.2. Usage with SDP Offer/Answer Model
When JPEG XS is offered over RTP using SDP in an offer/answer model
[RFC3264] for negotiation for unicast usage, the following
limitations and rules apply:
The "a=fmtp" attribute SHALL be present specifying the required
parameter "packetmode", and MAY specify any of the optional
parameters, as described in Section 7.1.
All parameters in the "a=fmtp" attribute indicate sending
capabilities (i.e. properties of the payload).
An answerer of the SDP is required to support all parameters and
values of the parameters provided by the offerer; otherwise, the
answerer SHALL reject the session. It falls on the offerer to use
values that are expected to be supported by the answerer. If the
answerer accepts the session, it SHALL reply with the exact same
parameters values in the "a=fmtp" attribute as it was offered.
The same RTP payload type number used in the offer SHOULD be used
in the answer, as specified in [RFC3264].

Internet-Draft RTP Payload Format for JPEG XS July 2021
9. IANA Considerations
The IANA is requested to register the media type registration "video/
jxsv" as specified in Section 7.1. The media type is also requested
to be added to the IANA registry for "RTP Payload Format MIME types"
<https://www.iana.org/assignments/rtp-parameters>.
10. Security Considerations
RTP packets using the payload format defined in this memo are subject
to the security considerations discussed in [RFC3550] and in any
applicable RTP profile such as RTP/AVP [RFC3551], RTP/AVPF [RFC4585],
RTP/SAVP [RFC3711], or RTP/SAVPF [RFC5124]. This implies that
confidentiality of the media streams is achieved by encryption.
However, as "Securing the RTP Framework: Why RTP Does Not Mandate a
Single Media Security Solution" [RFC7202] discusses, it is not an RTP
payload format's responsibility to discuss or mandate what solutions
are used to meet the basic security goals like confidentiality,
integrity, and source authenticity for RTP in general. This
responsibility lies on anyone using RTP in an application. They can
find guidance on available security mechanisms and important
considerations in "Options for Securing RTP Sessions" [RFC7201].
Applications SHOULD use one or more appropriate strong security
mechanisms.
Implementations of this RTP payload format need to take appropriate
security considerations into account. It is important for the
decoder to be robust against malicious or malformed payloads and
ensure that they do not cause the decoder to overrun its allocated
memory or otherwise misbehave. An overrun in allocated memory could
lead to arbitrary code execution by an attacker. The same applies to
the encoder, even though problems in encoders are typically rarer.
This payload format and the JPEG XS encoding do not exhibit any
substantial non-uniformity, either in output or in complexity to
perform the decoding operation and thus are unlikely to pose a
denial-of-service threat due to the receipt of pathological
datagrams.
This payload format and the JPEG XS encoding do not contain code that
is executable.
It is important to note that HD or UHDTV JPEG XS-encoded video can
have significant bandwidth requirements (typically more than 1 Gbps
for ultra high-definition video, especially if using high framerate).
This is sufficient to cause potential for denial-of-service if
transmitted onto most currently available Internet paths.
Lugan, et al. Expires January 29, 2022 [Page 26]
Internet-Draft RTP Payload Format for JPEG XS July 2021
Accordingly, if best-effort service is being used, users of this
payload format SHALL monitor packet loss to ensure that the packet
loss rate is within acceptable parameters. Packet loss is considered
acceptable if a TCP flow across the same network path, and
experiencing the same network conditions, would achieve an average
throughput, measured on a reasonable timescale, that is not less than
the RTP flow is achieving. This condition can be satisfied by
implementing congestion control mechanisms to adapt the transmission
rate (or the number of layers subscribed for a layered multicast
session), or by arranging for a receiver to leave the session if the
loss rate is unacceptably high.
This payload format may also be used in networks that provide
quality-of-service guarantees. If enhanced service is being used,
receivers SHOULD monitor packet loss to ensure that the service that
was requested is actually being delivered. If it is not, then they
SHOULD assume that they are receiving best-effort service and behave
accordingly.
