Interoperability for professional video streaming over IP networks

To encourage the development of interoperable solutions for professional video networks based on the Internet Protocol, the Pro-MPEG Forum has brought together manufacturers, end users, and service providers to develop the necessary codes of practice. This paper provides an introduction to the codes of practice and an explanation of a standards-based approach using Realtime Protocol. It covers protocol details, forward error correction, timing, and jitter considerations. It references evidence of manufacturer implementation within video devices and their use in professional video projects.
