Abstract
An apparatus comprises a receiver configured to receive a request for an adaptive streaming media presentation description (MPD), a processor coupled to the receiver and configured to generate the MPD, wherein the MPD comprises a parent element and a mechanism for specifying a client's behavior, wherein the parent element comprises a group of elements, wherein each element comprises a same value for a same attribute, and wherein the mechanism conditions the client's capability on the client's processing at least one of the elements, and a transmitter coupled to the processor and configured to transmit the MPD.
Claims21
An apparatus comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive a request for an adaptive streaming media presentation description (MPD);
- a processor coupled to the receiver and configured to generate the MPD, wherein the MPD comprises a parent element and a mechanism for specifying a client's behavior, wherein the parent element comprises a group of elements, wherein each element comprises a same value for a same attribute, and wherein the mechanism conditions the client's capability on the client's processing at least one of the elements;
- and
- a transmitter coupled to the processor and configured to transmit the MPD.
A method comprising:
- receiving a request for an adaptive streaming media presentation description (MPD);
- generating the MPD, wherein the MPD comprises a parent element and a mechanism for specifying a client's behavior, wherein the parent element comprises a group of elements, wherein each element comprises a same value for a same attribute, and wherein the mechanism conditions the client's capability on the client's processing at least one of the elements;
- and
- transmitting the MPD.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to generate a request for an adaptive streaming media presentation description (MPD);
- a transmitter coupled to the processor and configured to transmit the request;
- and
- a receiver coupled to the processor and configured to receive the MPD, wherein the MPD comprises a parent element and a mechanism for specifying the apparatus's behavior, wherein the parent element comprises a group of elements, wherein each element comprises a same value for a same attribute, wherein the mechanism conditions the apparatus's capability on the apparatus's processing at least one of the elements, and wherein the processor is further configured to process the MPD.
A method implemented in an apparatus, the method comprising:
- generating a request for an adaptive streaming media presentation description (MPD);
- transmitting the request;
- receiving the MPD, wherein the MPD comprises a parent element and a mechanism for specifying the apparatus's behavior, wherein the parent element comprises a group of elements, wherein each element comprises a same value for a same attribute, and wherein the mechanism conditions the apparatus's capability on the apparatus's processing at least one of the elements;
- and
- processing the MPD.
