Information technology — MPEG video technologies — Part 7: Versatile supplemental enhancement information messages for coded video bitstreams
This document specifies the syntax and semantics of video usability information (VUI) parameters and supplemental enhancement information (SEI) messages. The VUI parameters and SEI messages defined in this document are designed to be conveyed within coded video bitstreams in a manner specified in a video coding specification or to be conveyed by other means determined by the specifications for systems that make use of such coded video bitstreams. This document is particularly intended for use with coded video bitstreams as specified by Rec. ITU‑T H.266 | ISO/IEC 23090-3, although it can also be used with other types of coded video bitstreams. VUI parameters and SEI messages can assist in processes related to decoding, display or other purposes. However, unless otherwise specified in a referencing specification, the interpretation and use of the VUI parameters and SEI messages specified in this document is not a required functionality of a video decoder or receiving video system. Although semantics are specified for the VUI parameters and SEI messages, decoders and receiving video systems can simply ignore the content of the VUI parameters and SEI messages or can use them in a manner that somewhat differs from what is specified in this document.

Part 7:
Versatile supplemental enhancement information
messages for coded video bitstreams
1 Scope
This document specifies the syntax and semantics of video usability information (VUI) parameters and
supplemental enhancement information (SEI) messages. The VUI parameters and SEI messages defined
in this document are designed to be conveyed within coded video bitstreams in a manner specified
in a video coding specification or to be conveyed by other means determined by the specifications for
systems that make use of such coded video bitstreams. This document is particularly intended for use
with coded video bitstreams as specified by Rec. ITU-T H.266 | ISO/IEC 23090-3, although it can also be
used with other types of coded video bitstreams.
VUI parameters and SEI messages can assist in processes related to decoding, display or other purposes.
However, unless otherwise specified in a referencing specification, the interpretation and use of the
VUI parameters and SEI messages specified in this document is not a required functionality of a video
decoder or receiving video system. Although semantics are specified for the VUI parameters and SEI
messages, decoders and receiving video systems can simply ignore the content of the VUI parameters
and SEI messages or can use them in a manner that somewhat differs from what is specified in this
document.

specification
Note 1 to entry: In the contexts of Rec. ITU-T H.266 | ISO/IEC 23090-3 and Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2,

luma
sample array or single sample representing the monochrome signal related to the primary colours,
represented by the symbol or subscript Y or L
Note 1 to entry: The term luma is used rather than the term luminance in order to avoid implying the use of
linear light transfer characteristics that is often associated with the term luminance. The symbol L is sometimes
used instead of the symbol Y to avoid confusion with the symbol y as used for vertical location.

FINAL DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/IEC FDIS 23002-7:2020(E)
Information technology — MPEG video technologies —
Part 7:
Versatile supplemental enhancement information
messages for coded video bitstreams
1 Scope
This document specifies the syntax and semantics of video usability information (VUI) parameters and
supplemental enhancement information (SEI) messages. The VUI parameters and SEI messages defined
in this document are designed to be conveyed within coded video bitstreams in a manner specified
in a video coding specification or to be conveyed by other means determined by the specifications for
systems that make use of such coded video bitstreams. This document is particularly intended for use
with coded video bitstreams as specified by Rec. ITU-T H.266 | ISO/IEC 23090-3, although it can also be
used with other types of coded video bitstreams.
VUI parameters and SEI messages can assist in processes related to decoding, display or other purposes.
However, unless otherwise specified in a referencing specification, the interpretation and use of the
VUI parameters and SEI messages specified in this document is not a required functionality of a video
decoder or receiving video system. Although semantics are specified for the VUI parameters and SEI
messages, decoders and receiving video systems can simply ignore the content of the VUI parameters
and SEI messages or can use them in a manner that somewhat differs from what is specified in this
document.

primary colours, represented by the symbols Cb and Cr
