From: The IESG To: IETF-Announce Message-Id: Date: Tue, 06 Sep 2005 15:38:30 -0400 Cc: avt chair , avt chair , Internet Architecture Board , avt mailing list , RFC Editor Subject: [AVT] Protocol Action: 'RTP Payload Format for 3GPP Timed Text' to Proposed Standard The IESG has approved the following document: - 'RTP Payload Format for 3GPP Timed Text ' as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Audio/Video Transport Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Allison Mankin and Jon Peterson. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-avt-rtp-3gpp-timed-text-15.txt Technical Summary: This specification defines an RTP payload format for the 3GPP Timed Text. This media format provides time-lined decorated text, usable for subtitling and karaoke. The payload format enables the usage in streaming and multicast delivery. The payload format is designed using proved concepts and keeps things simple while still robust. Suitable mechanism are specified for improving robustness of this low bit-rate media. Working Group Summary: There is strong consensus in the working group that this is an appropriate solution. There was a debate on the media type choice, but it was fully resolved among the working group and media type experts. Protocol Quality: The protocol has been widely reviewed by both AVT WG members and 3GPP SA4 participants. The media types registration has been reviewed by media types experts. Allison Mankin is the Responsible AD and Magnus Westerlund is the WG Chair Shepherd. Note to RFC Editor 2.5 Design Rationale OLD: However, it is the opinion of the authors that for applications such as subtitling applications and multimedia presentations that use this payload format NEW: However, it is the consensus of the working group that for applications such as subtitling applications and multimedia presentations that use this payload format Informative References: Please update the reference to RFC 2279 to RFC 3629.
