ISO/IEC 14776-362:2006

Information technology - Small computer system interface (SCSI) - Part 362: Multimedia commands-2 (MMC-2)

The Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) protocol is designed to provide an efficient peer-to-peer I/O bus with the maximum number of hosts and peripherals determined by the bus width (8 or 16). This International Standard defines the SCSI command set extensions to access multimedia features for all classes of SCSI devices.

Overview

ISO/IEC 14776-362:2006 (MMC-2) defines the SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) multimedia command set extensions used to access and control optical-media features (CD, DVD and changer devices). As part of the SCSI family, this International Standard specifies command behavior, data formats, device models and feature/profile semantics for multimedia devices so hosts and peripherals interoperate reliably.

Keywords: ISO/IEC 14776-362, SCSI, MMC-2, multimedia commands, optical disc, CD, DVD, command set

Key topics

• Device and media models: CD and DVD logical/physical models, multi-session and track topology, removable-medium behavior and changer addressing.
• Features and profiles: Feature codes, profile lists and device profiles (CD-ROM, CD-R, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, rewritable, changer, etc.).
• Mode pages and parameters: Parameters used by MODE SENSE/SELECT such as read/write error recovery, write parameters, CD audio control, and power condition.
• Command set: Detailed definitions for multimedia SCSI commands including BLANK, CLOSE TRACK/SESSION, GET CONFIGURATION, READ CD, READ DVD STRUCTURE, READ CAPACITY, REPORT KEY, SEND KEY, PLAY/PAUSE/STOP, WRITE and VERIFY, GET PERFORMANCE, and many others.
• Error reporting and sense data: Additional sense codes for optical media, deferred errors and CD-Audio specific reporting.
• Copy protection and security: References to DVD CSS and REPORT/SEND KEY command behavior.
• Normative annexes: ATAPI compliance (for ATA Packet Interface devices) and SBP-2 requirements (for Serial Bus Protocol devices), plus requirements for configuration ROM and login/security support.

Applications

ISO/IEC 14776-362 is intended for professionals implementing, testing or integrating optical-media support:

• Optical drive manufacturers - firmware and hardware design for CD/DVD readers, writers and changers.
• Operating system and driver developers - SCSI / storage stack implementation of multimedia commands and mode pages.
• Embedded systems and appliance vendors - devices that require standard control of optical media (media players, archival systems).
• Test labs and compliance engineers - interoperability testing, conformance to ATAPI and SBP-2 sub-profiles.
• Forensics, data recovery and archival specialists - understanding device behavior, error reporting and media structure.

Related standards

• The broader SCSI family and other parts of ISO/IEC 14776 (MMC series) that define multimedia command semantics and device profiles.
• Normative references inside the standard include ATAPI and SBP-2 compliance requirements for different transport layers.

This standard is essential for anyone building or integrating SCSI-based multimedia command support for optical media and ensures consistent device-host behavior across CDs, DVDs and changer devices.
