ISO/IEC 23004-2:2007

ISO/IEC 23004-2:2007 specifies the multimedia application programming interface (API) of the MPEG Multimedia Middleware (M3W) technology. This Multimedia API provides a flexible interoperable set of media functions suitable for use in multiple products with different capabilities and in multiple application domains.

ISO/IEC 23004-2:2007 specifies the following:

• interfaces for audio broadcast decoding, processing and rendering;
• interfaces for video broadcast decoding, processing and rendering;
• IPMP interfaces;
• governance interfaces.

These interfaces provide a uniform view to the multimedia functionality offered by M3W platforms, but are flexible enough to allow different M3W platform vendors to distinguish themselves.
