MPEGTCE

DSS transport format wherein the server transports data in units of 130-byte packets.

MPEGPS

MPEG-2 program stream encapsulation wherein the server transports data in 4- byte aligned packet sizes of arbitrary length.

MPEG1SYS

MPEG-1 system stream encapsulation wherein the server transports data in 4-byte aligned packet sizes of arbitrary length.

B.2.1.4 description

The description property is an optional string that allows you to enter a content- speciﬁc comment.

B.2.2 BitStreamObjects

The BitStreamObjects structure describes the bit streams that make up the content package.

B.2.2.1 description

The description property is an optional string that allows you to enter a bit stream- speciﬁc comment.

B.2.2.2 speed

The speed property speciﬁes the ratio of the playback speed of the bit stream being described, compared to the bit stream at normal playback speed. Normal playback speed is speciﬁed by the integer 1000.

The speed value is a positive integer in the forward play direction and a negative integer in the reverse play direction. A bit stream that is ﬁve times normal speed in the forward direction has a speed value of 5000. A reverse-play bit stream, at normal speed has a speed value of -1000.
