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 is drafted in a manner intended to be sufficiently generic that 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.

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.
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 document 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 or
www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs).
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. 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) or the IEC
list of patent declarations received (see patents.iec.ch).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

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 is drafted
in a manner intended to be sufficiently generic that 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.
