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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as
an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Amendment 7 to ISO/IEC 14496-1:2001 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information
technology, Subcommittee SC 29, Coding of audio, picture, multimedia and hypermedia information.

Introduction
The Advanced Video Coding (AVC), jointly developed by the ITU-T SG 16 VCEG (Video Coding Expert
Group) and ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 11, offers not only increased coding efficiency and enhanced
robustness, but also many features for the systems that use it. To enable the best visibility of, and access to,
those features, and to enhance the opportunities for the interchange and interoperability of media, this
standard specifies the usage of AVC within the ISO/IEC 14496-1 Framework (ISO/IEC 14496-1:2001 and its
various amendments). This specification enables AVC video streams to:
• be used in conjunction with other media streams, such as audio; and
• be used in an MPEG-4 systems environment, if desired.

Insert the following definitions alphabetically:
AVC Parameter Set
either a sequence parameter set or a picture parameter set
NOTE This term is used to refer to both types of parameter sets.
AVC Access Unit
an access unit made up of NAL Units as defined in ITU-T Recommendation H.264 | ISO/IEC 14496-10 with
the structure defined in 5.2.3 of ISO/IEC 14496-15
AVC Parameter Set Access Unit
an Access Unit made up only of sequence parameter set NAL units or picture parameter set NAL units having
same timestamps to be applied
AVC Parameter Set Elementary Stream
an elementary stream made up only of AVC parameter set access units
AVC Video Elementary Stream
an elementary stream containing access units made up of NAL units for coded picture data
Add the following to Clause 5 Abbreviations and Symbols alphabetically:

Replace Table 6 with following table:
Table 6 - visualProfileLevelIndication Values
Value Profile Level
0x00-0x7E defined in ISO/IEC 14496-2 Annex G -
0x7F ISO/IEC 14496-10 Advanced Video Coding -
0x80-0xFD defined in ISO/IEC 14496-2 Annex G -
0xFE no visual profile specified -
0xFF no visual capability required
NOTE — Usage of the value 0x7F indicates the use of any profile and level of ISO/IEC 14496-10 AVC.
For the real profile and level numbers for ISO/IEC 14496-10 refer to the DecoderSpecificInfo.
NOTE — Usage of the value 0xFE indicates that the content described by this InitialObjectDescriptor
does not comply to any visual profile specified in ISO/IEC 14496-2 or -10. Usage of the value 0xFF
indicates that none of the visual profile capabilities are required for this content.
