1. Introduction
This document updates the media type registrations initially specified
in RFC 3555 for the RTP payload formats defined in the RTP Profile for
Audio and Video Conferences, RFC 3551 [1], as subtypes under the "audio"
and "video" media types. This document does not include media type
registrations for the RTP payload formats that are referenced in RFC
3551 but defined in other RFCs. The media type registrations for those
payload formats are intended to be updated by including them in
revisions of the individual RFCs defining the payload formats.
The media type registrations specified here conform to the updated
template format and procedures in RFC 4288 [2] and RFC XXXX [3]. This
update makes no technical changes in the registrations. Together with
RFC XXXX, this document obsoletes RFC 3555.
1.1. IANA Considerations
This document updates the media type registrations listed below to
conform to the revised registration format specified in RFC 4288 and RFC
XXXX, so the reference for these media types should be changed from RFC
3555 to this document. Some media type registrations contained in RFC
3555 are omitted from this document; the existing registrations for
those types continue to be valid until updated by other RFCs. There are
no new registrations contained here.

Media type audio/L16 was initially registered via RFC 2586 for
transports other than RTP. That registration is incorporated here and
augmented with additional information for RTP transport.
1.2. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [4] and indicate
requirement levels for implementations compliant with this
specification.
2. Registrations for "Audio/Video Profile"
In the following sections, the RTP payload formats defined in the RTP
Profile for Audio and Video Conferences, RFC 3551 [1], are registered as
media types.
2.1. Audio Type Registrations
For most audio payload formats, the RTP timestamp clock rate is equal to
the sampling rate. Some payload formats operate only at one fixed
sampling rate, while others are adjustable.
These audio formats also include the optional parameters "ptime", to
specify the recommended length of time in milliseconds represented by
the media in a packet, and "maxptime", to specify the maximum amount of
media that can be encapsulated in each packet, expressed as time in
milliseconds. The "ptime" and "maxptime" parameters are defined in the
Session Description Protocol (SDP), RFC ZZZZ [5].
2.1.1. Registration of Media Type audio/DVI4
Type name: audio
Subtype name: DVI4
Required parameters:
rate: The RTP timestamp clock rate, which is equal to the
sampling rate. The typical rate is 8000, but other rates may
be specified.
Optional parameters: ptime, maxptime (see RFC ZZZZ)
Encoding considerations:
This media type is framed binary data (see Section 4.8 in RFC
4288).

2.1.15. Registration of Media Type audio/L16
Media type audio/L16 was initially registered via RFC 2586 for
transports other than RTP. That registration is incorporated here and
augmented with additional information for RTP transport.
Type name: audio
Subtype name: L16
Expires August 2006 [Page 17]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-avt-rfc3555bis-part2-00.txtFebruary 26, 2006
Required parameters
rate: number of samples per second -- For non-RTP transport,
the permissible values for rate are 8000, 11025, 16000, 22050,
24000, 32000, 44100, and 48000 samples per second. For RTP
transport, other values are permissible but the aforementioned
values are RECOMMENDED. For RTP, the rate parameter indicates
the RTP timestamp clock rate, which is equal to the sample
rate.
Optional parameters
channels: how many audio streams are interleaved -- defaults
to 1; stereo would be 2, etc. Interleaving takes place
between individual two-byte samples.
emphasis: analog preemphasis applied to the signal before
quantization. The only emphasis value defined here is
emphasis=50-15 to indicate the 50/15 microsecond preemphasis
used with Compact Disks. This parameter MUST be omitted if no
analog preemphasis was applied. Note that this is a stream
property parameter, not a receiver configuration parameter.
Thus, if parameters are negotiated, it may not be possible for
the sender to comply with a receiver request for a particular
setting.
channel-order: specifies the sample interleaving order for
multiple-channel audio streams (see RFC 3190 [7] Section 7).
Permissible values are DV.LRLsRs, DV.LRCS, DV.LRCWo,
DV.LRLsRsC, DV.LRLsRsCS, DV.LmixRmixTWoQ1Q2,
DV.LRCWoLsRsLmixRmix, DV.LRCWoLs1Rs1Ls2Rs2, DV.LRCWoLsRsLcRc.
For interoperation with DV video systems, only a subset of
these channel combinations is specified for use with 20-bit
linear encoding in the DV video specification [8]; those are
DV.LRLsRs, DV.LRCS, DV.LmixRmixTWoQ1Q2. This parameter MUST
be omitted when the AIFF-C channel order convention (see RFC
3551) is in use.
For RTP, ptime: RECOMMENDED duration of each packet in
milliseconds.
For RTP, maxptime: maximum duration of each packet in
milliseconds.
Encoding considerations
Audio data is binary data, and must be encoded for non-binary
transport; the Base64 encoding is suitable for Email. Note
that audio data does not compress easily using lossless
compression.

Internet Draft draft-ietf-avt-rfc3555bis-part2-00.txtFebruary 26, 2006
Security considerations
Audio data is believed to offer no security risks.
See Section 4 of RFC YYYY.
Interoperability considerations
This type is compatible with the encoding used in the WAV
(Microsoft Windows RIFF) and Apple AIFF union types, and with
the public domain "sox" and "rateconv" programs.
Published specification
RFC 2586 for non-RTP transports, RFC 3551 for RTP
Applications which use this media
The public domain "sox" and "rateconv" programs accept this
type.
Magic number(s) : None

Intended usage
Common
It is expected that many audio and speech applications will
use this type. Already the most popular platforms provide
this type with the rate=11025 parameter referred to as "radio
quality speech."
Restrictions on usage
In addition to file-based transfer methods, this type is also
defined for transfer via RTP (RFC 3550).

sampling rate. The typical rate is 8000, but other rates may
be specified.
Optional parameters:
channels: how many audio streams are interleaved -- defaults
to 1; stereo would be 2, etc. Interleaving takes place
between individual one-byte samples. The channel order is as
specified in RFC 3551.
ptime, maxptime: see RFC ZZZZ
Encoding considerations:
This media type is framed binary data (see Section 4.8 in RFC
4288).
Security considerations: See Section 4 of RFC YYYY
Interoperability considerations: none
Published specification: RFC 3551
Applications which use this media type:
Audio and video streaming and conferencing tools.
Additional information: none
Person & email address to contact for further information:
Stephen Casner <casner@acm.org>
Intended usage: COMMON
Restrictions on usage:
This media type depends on RTP framing, and hence is only
defined for transfer via RTP (RFC 3550). Transfer within
other framing protocols is not defined at this time.

2.2. Video Type Registrations
For most video payload formats, including the one registered here, the
RTP timestamp clock rate is always 90000 Hz, so the "rate" parameter is
not applicable. Likewise, the "channel" parameter is not used with
video, while "ptime" and "maxptime" could be but typically are not.
2.2.1. Registration of Media Type video/nv
Type name: video
Subtype name: nv
Required parameters: None
Optional parameters: None
Encoding considerations:
This media type is framed binary data (see Section 4.8 in RFC
4288).
Security considerations: See Section 4 of RFC YYYY
Interoperability considerations: none

3. Changes from RFC 3555
RFC 3555 is obsoleted by the combination of RFC XXXX [3] and this
document. RFC XXXX retains the specification of procedures and
requirements from RFC 3555, while the media type registrations from RFC
3555 were extracted into this document. The media type registrations
for the RTP payload formats that are referenced in RFC 3551 [1] but
defined in other RFCs have been elided from this document because those
registrations are intended to be updated by including them in revisions
of the individual RFCs defining the payload formats.
The media type registrations in this document have been updated to
conform to the revised media type registration procedures in RFC 4288
[2] and RFC XXXX. Whereas RFC 3555 required the encoding considerations
to specify transfer via RTP, that is now specified under restrictions on
usage. The encoding considerations now warn that these types are framed
binary data. The change controller is also now identified according to
current conventions. The optional parameter "channels" was clarified
for audio subtypes L8, PCMA, and PCMU. Finally, reference [9], which
was missing from RFC 3555, has been corrected.
4. Security Considerations
The media type registrations contained in this document do not by
themselves impose security risks, but some may state security
considerations specific to the particular registration.
Several audio and video encodings are perfect for hiding data using
steganography.
The RTP specification, RFC 3550, provides security considerations for
the transport of audio and video data over RTP, including the use of
encryption where confidentiality is required.
