Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical
activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the
work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee,
ISO/IEC JTC 1.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following

Part 4:
Dynamic Range Control
AMENDMENT 2: Reference software
Clause 7
Add a new clause after Clause 7:
8  Reference software
8.1  Reference software structure
8.1.1  General
Clause 8 contains reference software for MPEG-D DRC which has been derived from reference models
used in the process of developing this document. The software is provided as an electronic attachment
to this document.
Reference software is normative in the sense that it correctly implements the MPEG-D DRC decoding
processes described in this document. Complying ISO/IEC 23003-4 implementations are not expected
to follow the algorithms or the programming techniques used by the reference software. Although the
decoding software is considered normative, it cannot add anything to the textual technical description
of MPEG-D DRC included in this document.
The software described in Clause 8 and in Annex H is divided into three categories:
a) Bitstream decoding software is catalogued in 8.2. This software accepts bitstreams encoded
according to the normative specification in this document and applies the bitstream content to
an input audio file. While this software appears in the normative part of this document, attention
is drawn to the fact that the implementation techniques used in this software are not considered
normative (
