ISO/IEC 23004-2 (2007-10)

ISO/IEC 23004-2:2007 specifies the multimedia application programming interface (API) of the MPEG Multimedia Middleware (M3W) technology. This Multimedia API provides a flexible interoperable set of media functions suitable for use in multiple products with different capabilities and in multiple application domains.
ISO/IEC 23004-2:2007 specifies the following:
* interfaces for audio broadcast decoding, processing and rendering;
* interfaces for video broadcast decoding, processing and rendering;
* IPMP interfaces;
* governance interfaces.
These interfaces provide a uniform view to the multimedia functionality offered by M3W platforms, but are flexible enough to allow different M3W platform vendors to distinguish themselves.
