+
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ Theora is a general purpose, lossy video codec. It is based on the
+ VP3.1 video codec produced by On2 Technologies and has been donated
+ to the Xiph.org Foundation.
+
+ Theora I is a block-based lossy transform codec that utilizes an 8 x
+ 8 Type-II Discrete Cosine Transform and block-based motion
+ compensation. This places it in the same class of codecs as MPEG-1,
+ MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and H.263. The details of how individual blocks are
+ organized and how DCT coefficients are stored in the bitstream differ
+ substantially from these codecs, however. Theora supports only intra
+ frames (I frames in MPEG) and inter frames (P frames in MPEG).
+
+ Theora provides none of its own framing, synchronization, or
+ protection against transmission errors. Theora is a free-form
+ variable bit rate (VBR) codec, and packets have no minimum size,
+ maximum size, or fixed/expected size. Theora packets are thus
+ intended to be used with a transport mechanism that provides free-
+ form framing, synchronization, positioning, and error correction in
+ accordance with these design assumptions, such as Ogg [1]. or RTP/AVP
+ [3].
+
+ Theora I currently supports progressive video data of arbitrary
+ dimensions at a constant frame rate in one of several YCbCr color
+ spaces. Three different chroma subsampling formats are supported:
+ 4:2:0, 4:2:2, and 4:4:4. The Theora I format does not support
+ interlaced material, variable frame rates, bit-depths larger than 8
+ bits per component, nor alternate color spaces such as RGB or
+ arbitrary multi-channel spaces. Black and white content can be
+ efficiently encoded, however, because the uniform chroma planes
+ compress well.
+
+ Theora is similar to Vorbis audio [10] in that it requires the
+ inclusion of the entire probability model for the DCT coefficients
+ and all the quantization parameters in the bitstream headers to be
+ sent ahead of the video data. It is therefore impossible to decode
+ any frame in the stream without having previously fetched the codec
+ info and codec setup headers, although Theora can initiate decode at
+ an arbitrary intra-frame packet within a bitstream so long as the
+ codec has been initialized with the setup headers.
+
+1.1. 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 [2].

+
+
+2. Payload Format
+
+ Each frame of digital video is packetized into one or more RTP
+ packets. If the data for a complete frame exceeds the network MTU,
+ it SHOULD be fragmented into multiple RTP packets, each smaller than
+ the MTU. A single RTP packet MAY contain data for more than one
+ Theora frame.
+
+ For RTP based transportation of Theora encoded video the standard RTP
+ header is followed by a 4 octet payload header, then the payload
+ data.
+
+2.1. RTP Header
+
+ The format of the RTP header is specified in [3] and shown in Figure
+ 1. This payload format uses the fields of the header in a manner
+ consistent with that specification.
+
+ 0 1 2 3
+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

+
+ Figure 1: RTP Header
+
+ The RTP header begins with an octet of fields (V, P, X, and CC) to
+ support specialized RTP uses (see [3] and [4] for details). For
+ Theora RTP, the following values are used.
+
+ Version (V): 2 bits
+
+ This field identifies the version of RTP. The version used by this
+ specification is two (2).
+
+ Padding (P): 1 bit
+
+ Padding MAY be used with this payload format according to section 5.1
+ of [3].
+
+ Extension (X): 1 bit
+
+
+
+Barbato Expires April 18, 2006 [Page 4]
+
+Internet-Draft draft-barbato-avt-rtp-theora-00 October 2005
+
+
+ The Extension bit is used in accordance with [3].
+
+ CSRC count (CC): 4 bits
+
+ The CSRC count is used in accordance with [3].
+
+ Marker (M): 1 bit
+
+ The Marker bit is used in accordance with [3].
+
+ Payload Type (PT): 7 bits
+
+ An RTP profile for a class of applications is expected to assign a
+ payload type for this format, or a dynamically allocated payload type
+ SHOULD be chosen which designates the payload as Theora.
+
+ Sequence number: 16 bits
+
+ The sequence number increments by one for each RTP data packet sent,
+ and may be used by the receiver to detect packet loss and to restore
+ packet sequence. This field is detailed further in [3].
+
+ Timestamp: 32 bits
+
+ A timestamp representing the sampling time of the first sample of the
+ first Theora packet in the RTP packet. The clock frequency MUST be
+ set to the sample rate of the encoded video data and is conveyed out-
+ of-band as an SDP attribute.
+
+ SSRC/CSRC identifiers:
+
+ These two fields, 32 bits each with one SSRC field and a maximum of
+ 16 CSRC fields, are as defined in [3].
+
+2.2. Payload Header
+
+ After the RTP Header section the following five octets are the
+ Payload Header. This header is split into a number of bitfields
+ detailing the format of the following Payload Data packets.
+
+ 0 1 2 3
+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

+
+
+ Figure 2: Payload Header
+
+ Configuration Ident: 24 bits
+
+ This 24 bit field is used to associate the Theora data to a decoding
+ Packed Configuration.
+
+ Fragment type (F): 2 bit
+
+ This field is set accordingly the following list
+
+ 0 = Not Fragmented
+ 1 = Start Fragment
+ 2 = Continuation Fragment
+ 3 = End Fragment
+
+ Theora Data Type (TDT): 2 bits
+
+ This field sets the packet payload type for the Theora data. There
+ are currently two type of Vorbis payloads.
+
+ 0 = Raw Theora payload
+ 1 = Theora Packed Configuration payload
+ 2 = Legacy Theora Comment payload
+ 3 = Reserved
+
+ The last 4 bits are the number of complete packets in this payload.
+ This provides for a maximum number of 15 Theora packets in the
+ payload. If the packet contains fragmented data the number of
+ packets MUST be set to 0.
+
+2.3. Payload Data
+
+ Each Theora payload section starts with a two octet length header
+ that is used to represent the size of the following data payload,
+ followed by the raw Theora data.
+
+ 0 1 2 3
+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+
+ Figure 3: Payload Data
+
+ The Theora codec uses relatively unstructured raw packets containing
+ binary integer fields of arbitrary width that often do not fall on an
+ octet boundary. When this happens the bitstream is packed to an
+
+
+
+Barbato Expires April 18, 2006 [Page 6]
+
+Internet-Draft draft-barbato-avt-rtp-theora-00 October 2005
+
+
+ octet boundary. When a Theora encoder produces packets, unused space
+ in the last byte of a packet is always zeroed during the encoding
+ process. Thus, should this unused space be read, it will return
+ binary zeros.
+
+ For payloads which consist of multiple Theora packets the payload
+ data consists of the payload length field followed by the payload
+ data for each of the Theora packets in the payload.
+
+2.4. Example RTP Packet
+
+ Here is an example RTP packet containing two Theora packets.

+
+
+ The payload portion of the packet starts with the 24 bit
+ Configuration ident field followed by the 8 bit bitfield. The
+ Fragment type field is set to 0, indicating that this packet contains
+ whole Theora frame data. The Data type field is set to 0 since it is
+ theora raw data. The number of whole Theora data packets is set to
+ 2.
+
+ Each of the payload blocks starts with the two octet length field and
+ then follows by the variable length Theora data.
+
+
+3. Configuration Headers
+
+ To decode a Theora stream three configuration header blocks are
+ needed. The first header, the Identification Header, indicates the
+ frame dimensions, quality, blocks used and the version of the Theora
+ encoder used. The second header, the Comment Header, contains stream
+ metadata and the third header, the Setup Header, details which
+ contains dequantization and Huffman tables.
+
+ Since this information must be transmitted reliably, and as the RTP
+ stream may change certain configuration data mid-session there are
+ different methods for delivering this configuration data to a client,
+ both in-band and out-of-band which is detailed below. SDP delivery
+ is used to set-up an initial state for the client application. The
+ changes may be due to different dequantization and Huffman tables as
+ well as different bitrates of the stream.
+
+ The delivery vectors in use are specified by an SDP attribute to
+ indicate the method and the optional URI where the Vorbis Packed
+ Configuration (Section 3.1.1) Packets could be fetched. Different
+ delivery methods MAY be advertised for the same session. The in-band
+ codebook delivery SHOULD be considered as baseline, out-of-band
+ delivery methods that don't use RTP will not be described in this
+ document. For non chained streams, the Configuration delivery method
+ RECOMMENDED is inline the Packed Configuration (Section 3.1.1) in the
+ SDP as explained in the IANA considerations (Section 6.1)
+
+ The 24 bit Ident field is used to map which Configuration will be
+ used to decodea packet. When the Ident field changes, it indicates
+ that a change in the stream has taken place. The client application
+ MUST have in advance the correct configuration and if the client
+ detects a change in the Ident value and does not have this
+ information it MUST NOT decode the raw data associated until it
+ fetches the correct Configuration.

+
+
+3.1. In-band Header Transmission
+
+ The Packed Configuration (Section 3.1.1) Payload is sent in-band with
+ the packet type bits set to match the payload type. Clients MUST be
+ capable of dealing with periodic re-transmission of the configuration
+ headers.
+
+3.1.1. Packed Configuration
+
+ A Theora Packed Configuration is indicated with the payload type
+ field set to 1. Of the three headers, defined in the Theora I
+ specification [12], the identification and the setup will be packed
+ together, the comment header is completely suppressed. Is up to the
+ client provide a minimal size comment header to the decoder if
+ required by the implementation.

+
+ The Ident field is set with the value that will be used by the Raw
+ Payload Packets to address this Configuration. The Fragment type is
+ set to 0 since the packet bears the full Packed configuration, the
+ number of packet is set to 1.
+
+3.2. Packed Headers Delivery
+
+ As mentioned above the RECOMMENDED delivery vector for Theora
+ configuration data is via a retrieval method that can be performed
+ using a reliable transport protocol. As the RTP headers are not
+ required for this method of delivery the structure of the
+ configuration data is slightly different. The packed header starts
+ with a 32 bit count field which details the number of packed headers
+ that are contained in the bundle. Next is the Packed header payload
+ for each chained Theora stream.

+3.3. Loss of Configuration Headers
+
+ Unlike the loss of raw Theora payload data, loss of a configuration
+ header can lead to a situation where it will not be possible to
+ successfully decode the stream.
+
+ Loss of Configuration Packet results in the halting of stream
+ decoding and SHOULD be reported to the client as well as a loss
+ report sent via RTCP.

+ With the payload type flag set to 2, this indicates that the packet
+ contain the comment metadata, such as artist name, track title and so
+ on. These metadata messages are not intended to be fully descriptive
+ but to offer basic track/song information. Clients MAY ignore it
+ completely. The details on the format of the comments can be found
+ in the Theora documentation [12].

+ The 2 bytes length field is necessary since this packet could be
+ fragmented.
+
+
+5. Frame Packetizing
+
+ Each RTP packet contains either one complete Theora packet, one
+ Theora packet fragment, or an integer number of complete Theora
+ packets (up to a max of 15 packets, since the number of packets is
+ defined by a 4 bit value).
+
+ Any Theora data packet that is less than path MTU SHOULD be bundled
+ in the RTP packet with as many Theora packets as will fit, up to a
+ maximum of 15. Path MTU is detailed in [7] and [8].
+
+ If a Theora packet is larger than 65535 octets it MUST be fragmented.
+ A fragmented packet has a zero in the last four bits of the payload
+ header. The first fragment will set the Fragment type to 1. Each
+ fragment after the first will set the Fragment type to 2 in the
+ payload header. The RTP packet containing the last fragment of the
+ Theora packet will have the Fragment type set to 3. To maintain the
+ correct sequence for fragmented packet reception the timestamp field
+ of fragmented packets MUST be the same as the first packet sent, with
+ the sequence number incremented as normal for the subsequent RTP
+ packets.
+
+5.1. Example Fragmented Theora Packet
+
+ Here is an example fragmented Theora packet split over three RTP
+ packets. Each packet contains the standard RTP headers as well as
+ the 4 octet Theora headers.

+ This is the last Theora fragment packet. The Fragment type filed is
+ set to 3 and the packet count remains set to 0. As in the previous
+ packets the timestamp remains set to the first packet in the sequence
+ and the sequence number has been incremented.
+
+5.2. Packet Loss
+
+ As there is no error correction within the Theora stream, packet loss
+ will result in a loss of signal. Packet loss is more of an issue for
+ fragmented Theora packets as the client will have to cope with the
+ handling of the Fragment type field. If we use the fragmented Theora
+ packet example above and the first packet is lost the client MUST
+ detect that the next packet has the packet count field set to 0 and
+ the Fragment type is set to 2 and MUST drop it. The next packet,
+ which is the final fragmented packet, MUST be dropped in the same
+ manner. Feedback reports on lost and dropped packets MUST be sent
+ back via RTCP.
+
+ If a particular multicast session has a large number of participants
+ care must be taken to prevent an RTCP feedback implosion, [9], in the
+ event of packet loss from a large number of participants.
+
+ Loss of any of the Configuration fragment will result in the loss of
+ the full Configuration packet with the result detailed in the Loss of

+6.1. Mapping MIME Parameters into SDP
+
+ The information carried in the MIME media type specification has a
+ specific mapping to fields in the Session Description Protocol (SDP)
+ [6], which is commonly used to describe RTP sessions. When SDP is
+ used to specify sessions the mapping are as follows:
+
+ o The MIME type ("video") goes in SDP "m=" as the media name.
+
+ o The MIME subtype ("THEORA") goes in SDP "a=rtpmap" as the encoding
+ name.
+
+ o The parameter "rate" also goes in "a=rtpmap" as clock rate.
+
+ o The mandated parameters "delivery-method" and "configuration" MUST
+ be included in the SDP "a=fmpt" attribute.
+
+ o The optional parameter "configuration-uri", when present, MUST be
+ included in the SDP "a=fmpt" attribute.
+
+ If the stream comprises chained Theora files and all of them are
+ known in advance, the Configuration Packet for each file SHOULD be
+ packaged together and passed to the client using the configuration
+ attribute.
+
+ The URI specified in the configuration-uri attribute MUST point to a
+ location where all of the Configuration Packets needed for the life
+ of the session reside.
+
+ Example:
+
+

+ c=IN IP4/6
+ m=video RTP/AVP 98
+ a=rtpmap:98 theora/90000
+ a=fmtp:98 sampling=YCbCr-4:2:2; width=1280; height=720; delivery-
+ method=inline; configuration=base16string1;
+
+ The answer to any offer, [5], MUST NOT change the URI specified in
+ the configuration-uri attribute. The Configuration inlined in the
+ configuration parameter COULD change.
+
+
+7. Security Considerations
+
+ RTP packets using this payload format are subject to the security
+ considerations discussed in the RTP specification [3]. This implies
+ that the confidentiality of the media stream is achieved by using
+ encryption. Because the data compression used with this payload
+ format is applied end-to-end, encryption may be performed on the
+ compressed data. Where the size of a data block is set care MUST be
+ taken to prevent buffer overflows in the client applications.

+<t>
+Theora is a general purpose, lossy video codec. It is based on the VP3.1 video codec produced by On2 Technologies and has been donated to the Xiph.org Foundation.
+</t>
+
+<t>
+Theora I is a block-based lossy transform codec that utilizes an 8 x 8 Type-II Discrete Cosine Transform and block-based motion compensation. This places it in the same class of codecs as MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and H.263. The details of how individual blocks are organized and how DCT coefficients are stored in the bitstream differ substantially from these codecs, however. Theora supports only intra frames (I frames in MPEG) and inter frames (P frames in MPEG).
+</t>
+
+<t>
+Theora provides none of its own framing, synchronization, or protection against transmission errors. Theora is a free-form variable bit rate (VBR) codec, and packets have no minimum size, maximum size, or fixed/expected size. Theora packets are thus intended to be used with a transport mechanism that provides free-form framing, synchronization, positioning, and error correction in accordance with these design assumptions, such as Ogg <xref target="rfc3533"></xref>. or RTP/AVP <xref target="rfc3550"></xref>.
+</t>
+
+<t>
+Theora I currently supports progressive video data of arbitrary dimensions at a constant frame rate in one of several YCbCr color spaces.
+Three different chroma subsampling formats are supported: 4:2:0, 4:2:2, and 4:4:4. The Theora I format does not support interlaced material, variable frame rates, bit-depths larger than 8 bits per component, nor alternate color spaces such as RGB or arbitrary multi-channel spaces. Black and white content can be efficiently encoded, however, because the uniform chroma planes compress well.
+</t>
+
+<t>
+Theora is similar to Vorbis audio <xref target="vorbisrtp"></xref> in that it requires the inclusion of the entire probability model for the DCT coefficients and all the quantization parameters in the bitstream headers to be sent ahead of the video data. It is therefore impossible to decode any frame in the stream without having previously fetched the codec info and codec setup headers, although Theora can initiate decode at an arbitrary intra-frame packet within a bitstream so long as the codec has been initialized with the setup headers.

+Each frame of digital video is packetized into one or more RTP packets. If the data for a complete frame exceeds the network MTU, it SHOULD be fragmented into multiple RTP packets, each smaller than the MTU. A single RTP packet MAY contain data for more than one Theora frame.

+The Theora codec uses relatively unstructured raw packets containing binary integer fields of arbitrary width that often do not fall on an octet boundary. When this happens the bitstream is packed to an octet boundary. When a Theora encoder produces packets, unused space in the last byte of a packet is always zeroed during the encoding process. Thus, should this unused space be read, it will return binary zeros.

+To decode a Theora stream three configuration header blocks are needed. The first header, the Identification Header, indicates the frame dimensions, quality, blocks used and the version of the Theora encoder used. The second header, the Comment Header, contains stream metadata and the third header, the Setup Header, details which contains dequantization and Huffman tables.
+</t>
+
+<t>
+Since this information must be transmitted reliably, and as the RTP stream may change certain configuration data mid-session there are different methods for delivering this configuration data to a client, both in-band and out-of-band which is detailed below. SDP delivery is used to set-up an initial state for the client application. The changes may be due to different dequantization and Huffman tables as well as different bitrates of the stream.
+</t>
+
+<t>
+The delivery vectors in use are specified by an SDP attribute to indicate the method and the optional URI where the Vorbis <xref target="Packed Configuration">Packed Configuration</xref> Packets could be fetched. Different delivery methods MAY be advertised for the same session. The in-band codebook delivery SHOULD be considered as baseline, out-of-band delivery methods that don't use RTP will not be described in this document. For non chained streams, the Configuration delivery method RECOMMENDED is inline the <xref target="Packed Configuration">Packed Configuration</xref> in the SDP as explained in the <xref target="Mapping MIME Parameters into SDP"> IANA considerations</xref>
+</t>
+
+<t>
+The 24 bit Ident field is used to map which Configuration will be used to decodea packet. When the Ident field changes, it indicates that a change in the stream has taken place. The client application MUST have in advance the correct configuration and if the client detects a change in the Ident value and does not have this information it MUST NOT decode the raw data associated until it fetches the correct Configuration.

+
+<t>
+The information carried in the MIME media type specification has a specific mapping to fields in the Session Description Protocol (SDP) <xref target="rfc2327"></xref>, which is commonly used to describe RTP sessions. When SDP is used to specify sessions the mapping are as follows:
+</t>
+
+<vspace blankLines="1" />
+<list style="symbols">
+
+<t>The MIME type ("video") goes in SDP "m=" as the media name.</t>
+<vspace blankLines="1" />
+
+<t>The MIME subtype ("THEORA") goes in SDP "a=rtpmap" as the encoding name.</t>
+<vspace blankLines="1" />
+
+<t>The parameter "rate" also goes in "a=rtpmap" as clock rate.</t>
+<vspace blankLines="1" />
+
+<t>The mandated parameters "delivery-method" and "configuration" MUST be included in the SDP "a=fmpt" attribute.</t>
+<vspace blankLines="1" />
+
+<t>The optional parameter "configuration-uri", when present, MUST be included in the SDP "a=fmpt" attribute.</t>
+</list>
+
+
+<t>
+If the stream comprises chained Theora files and all of them are known in advance, the Configuration Packet for each file SHOULD be packaged together and passed to the client using the configuration attribute.
+</t>
+
+<t>
+The URI specified in the configuration-uri attribute MUST point to a location where all of the Configuration Packets needed for the life of the session reside.
+</t>
+
+<t>Example:</t>
+
+<vspace blankLines="1" />
+
+<list style="empty">
+<t>c=IN IP4/6 </t>
+<t>m=video RTP/AVP 98</t>

+<t>a=fmtp:98 sampling=YCbCr-4:2:2; width=1280; height=720; delivery-method=inline; configuration=base16string1;</t>
+</list>
+
+<t>
+The answer to any offer, <xref target="rfc3264"></xref>, MUST NOT change the URI specified in the configuration-uri attribute. The Configuration inlined in the configuration parameter COULD change.

+
+<section anchor="Security Considerations" title="Security Considerations">
+<t>
+RTP packets using this payload format are subject to the security considerations discussed in the RTP specification
+<xref target="rfc3550"></xref>. This implies that the confidentiality of the media stream is achieved by using
+encryption. Because the data compression used with this payload format is applied end-to-end, encryption may be performed on the
+compressed data. Where the size of a data block is set care MUST be taken to prevent buffer overflows in the client applications.

-1. Introduction
-
- Theora is a general purpose, lossy video codec. It is based on the
- VP3.1 video codec produced by On2 Technologies and has been donated
- to the Xiph.org Foundation.
-
- Theora I is a block-based lossy transform codec that utilizes an 8 x
- 8 Type-II Discrete Cosine Transform and block-based motion
- compensation. This places it in the same class of codecs as MPEG-1,
- MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and H.263. The details of how individual blocks are
- organized and how DCT coefficients are stored in the bitstream differ
- substantially from these codecs, however. Theora supports only intra
- frames (I frames in MPEG) and inter frames (P frames in MPEG).
-
- Theora provides none of its own framing, synchronization, or
- protection against transmission errors. Theora is a free-form
- variable bit rate (VBR) codec, and packets have no minimum size,
- maximum size, or fixed/expected size. Theora packets are thus
- intended to be used with a transport mechanism that provides free-
- form framing, synchronization, positioning, and error correction in
- accordance with these design assumptions, such as Ogg [1]. or RTP/AVP
- [3].
-
- Theora I currently supports progressive video data of arbitrary
- dimensions at a constant frame rate in one of several YCbCr color
- spaces. Three different chroma subsampling formats are supported:
- 4:2:0, 4:2:2, and 4:4:4. The Theora I format does not support
- interlaced material, variable frame rates, bit-depths larger than 8
- bits per component, nor alternate color spaces such as RGB or
- arbitrary multi-channel spaces. Black and white content can be
- efficiently encoded, however, because the uniform chroma planes
- compress well.
-
- Theora is similar to Vorbis audio [10] in that it requires the
- inclusion of the entire probability model for the DCT coefficients
- and all the quantization parameters in the bitstream headers to be
- sent ahead of the video data. It is therefore impossible to decode
- any frame in the stream without having previously fetched the codec
- info and codec setup headers, although Theora can initiate decode at
- an arbitrary intra-frame packet within a bitstream so long as the
- codec has been initialized with the setup headers.
-
-1.1. 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 [2].

-
-
-2. Payload Format
-
- Each frame of digital video is packetized into one or more RTP
- packets. If the data for a complete frame exceeds the network MTU,
- it SHOULD be fragmented into multiple RTP packets, each smaller than
- the MTU. A single RTP packet MAY contain data for more than one
- Theora frame.
-
- For RTP based transportation of Theora encoded video the standard RTP
- header is followed by a 4 octet payload header, then the payload
- data.
-
-2.1. RTP Header
-
- The format of the RTP header is specified in [3] and shown in Figure
- 1. This payload format uses the fields of the header in a manner
- consistent with that specification.
-
- 0 1 2 3
- 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

-
- Figure 1: RTP Header
-
- The RTP header begins with an octet of fields (V, P, X, and CC) to
- support specialized RTP uses (see [3] and [4] for details). For
- Theora RTP, the following values are used.
-
- Version (V): 2 bits
-
- This field identifies the version of RTP. The version used by this
- specification is two (2).
-
- Padding (P): 1 bit
-
- Padding MAY be used with this payload format according to section 5.1
- of [3].
-
- Extension (X): 1 bit
-
-
-
-Barbato Expires April 18, 2006 [Page 4]
-
-Internet-Draft draft-barbato-avt-theora-rtp-00 October 2005
-
-
- The Extension bit is used in accordance with [3].
-
- CSRC count (CC): 4 bits
-
- The CSRC count is used in accordance with [3].
-
- Marker (M): 1 bit
-
- The Marker bit is used in accordance with [3].
-
- Payload Type (PT): 7 bits
-
- An RTP profile for a class of applications is expected to assign a
- payload type for this format, or a dynamically allocated payload type
- SHOULD be chosen which designates the payload as Theora.
-
- Sequence number: 16 bits
-
- The sequence number increments by one for each RTP data packet sent,
- and may be used by the receiver to detect packet loss and to restore
- packet sequence. This field is detailed further in [3].
-
- Timestamp: 32 bits
-
- A timestamp representing the sampling time of the first sample of the
- first Theora packet in the RTP packet. The clock frequency MUST be
- set to the sample rate of the encoded video data and is conveyed out-
- of-band as an SDP attribute.
-
- SSRC/CSRC identifiers:
-
- These two fields, 32 bits each with one SSRC field and a maximum of
- 16 CSRC fields, are as defined in [3].
-
-2.2. Payload Header
-
- After the RTP Header section the following five octets are the
- Payload Header. This header is split into a number of bitfields
- detailing the format of the following Payload Data packets.
-
- 0 1 2 3
- 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

- Figure 2: Payload Header
-
- Configuration Ident: 24 bits
-
- This 24 bit field is used to associate the Theora data to a decoding
- Packed Configuration.
-
- Fragment type (F): 2 bit
-
- This field is set accordingly the following list
-
- 0 = Not Fragmented
- 1 = Start Fragment
- 2 = Continuation Fragment
- 3 = End Fragment
-
- Theora Data Type (TDT): 2 bits
-
- This field sets the packet payload type for the Theora data. There
- are currently two type of Vorbis payloads.
-
- 0 = Raw Theora payload
- 1 = Theora Packed Configuration payload
- 2 = Legacy Theora Comment payload
- 3 = Reserved
-
- The last 4 bits are the number of complete packets in this payload.
- This provides for a maximum number of 15 Theora packets in the
- payload. If the packet contains fragmented data the number of
- packets MUST be set to 0.
-
-2.3. Payload Data
-
- Each Theora payload section starts with a two octet length header
- that is used to represent the size of the following data payload,
- followed by the raw Theora data.
-
- 0 1 2 3
- 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
-
- Figure 3: Payload Data
-
- The Theora codec uses relatively unstructured raw packets containing
- binary integer fields of arbitrary width that often do not fall on an
- octet boundary. When this happens the bitstream is packed to an
-
-
-
-Barbato Expires April 18, 2006 [Page 6]
-
-Internet-Draft draft-barbato-avt-theora-rtp-00 October 2005
-
-
- octet boundary. When a Theora encoder produces packets, unused space
- in the last byte of a packet is always zeroed during the encoding
- process. Thus, should this unused space be read, it will return
- binary zeros.
-
- For payloads which consist of multiple Theora packets the payload
- data consists of the payload length field followed by the payload
- data for each of the Theora packets in the payload.
-
-2.4. Example RTP Packet
-
- Here is an example RTP packet containing two Theora packets.
-
- RTP Packet Header:

-
- The payload portion of the packet starts with the 24 bit
- Configuration ident field followed by the 8 bit bitfield. The
- Fragment type field is set to 0, indicating that this packet contains
- whole Theora frame data. The Data type field is set to 0 since it is
- theora raw data. The number of whole Theora data packets is set to
- 2.
-
- Each of the payload blocks starts with the two octet length field and
- then follows by the variable length Theora data.
-
-
-3. Configuration Headers
-
- To decode a Theora stream three configuration header blocks are
- needed. The first header, the Identification Header, indicates the
- frame dimensions, quality, blocks used and the version of the Theora
- encoder used. The second header, the Comment Header, contains stream
- metadata and the third header, the Setup Header, details which
- contains dequantization and Huffman tables.
-
- Since this information must be transmitted reliably, and as the RTP
- stream may change certain configuration data mid-session there are
- different methods for delivering this configuration data to a client,
- both in-band and out-of-band which is detailed below. SDP delivery
- is used to set-up an initial state for the client application. The
- changes may be due to different dequantization and Huffman tables as
- well as different bitrates of the stream.
-
- The delivery vectors in use are specified by an SDP attribute to
- indicate the method and the optional URI where the Vorbis Packed
- Configuration (Section 3.1.1) Packets could be fetched. Different
- delivery methods MAY be advertised for the same session. The in-band
- codebook delivery SHOULD be considered as baseline, out-of-band
- delivery methods that don't use RTP will not be described in this
- document. For non chained streams, the Configuration delivery method
- RECOMMENDED is inline the Packed Configuration (Section 3.1.1) in the
- SDP as explained in the IANA considerations (Section 6.1)
-
- The 24 bit Ident field is used to map which Configuration will be
- used to decodea packet. When the Ident field changes, it indicates
- that a change in the stream has taken place. The client application
- MUST have in advance the correct configuration and if the client
- detects a change in the Ident value and does not have this
- information it MUST NOT decode the raw data associated until it
- fetches the correct Configuration.

-3.1. In-band Header Transmission
-
- The Packed Configuration (Section 3.1.1) Payload is sent in-band with
- the packet type bits set to match the payload type. Clients MUST be
- capable of dealing with periodic re-transmission of the configuration
- headers.
-
-3.1.1. Packed Configuration
-
- A Theora Packed Configuration is indicated with the payload type
- field set to 1. Of the three headers, defined in the Theora I
- specification [12], the identification and the setup will be packed
- together, the comment header is completely suppressed. Is up to the
- client provide a minimal size comment header to the decoder if
- required by the implementation.

- The Ident field is set with the value that will be used by the Raw
- Payload Packets to address this Configuration. The Fragment type is
- set to 0 since the packet bears the full Packed configuration, the
- number of packet is set to 1.
-
-3.2. Packed Headers Delivery
-
- As mentioned above the RECOMMENDED delivery vector for Theora
- configuration data is via a retrieval method that can be performed
- using a reliable transport protocol. As the RTP headers are not
- required for this method of delivery the structure of the
- configuration data is slightly different. The packed header starts
- with a 32 bit count field which details the number of packed headers
- that are contained in the bundle. Next is the Packed header payload
- for each chained Theora stream.

-3.3. Loss of Configuration Headers
-
- Unlike the loss of raw Theora payload data, loss of a configuration
- header can lead to a situation where it will not be possible to
- successfully decode the stream.
-
- Loss of Configuration Packet results in the halting of stream
- decoding and SHOULD be reported to the client as well as a loss
- report sent via RTCP.
-
-
-4. Comment Headers
-
- With the payload type flag set to 2, this indicates that the packet
- contain the comment metadata, such as artist name, track title and so
- on. These metadata messages are not intended to be fully descriptive
- but to offer basic track/song information. Clients MAY ignore it
- completely. The details on the format of the comments can be found
- in the Theora documentation [12].

- The 2 bytes length field is necessary since this packet could be
- fragmented.
-
-
-5. Frame Packetizing
-
- Each RTP packet contains either one complete Theora packet, one
- Theora packet fragment, or an integer number of complete Theora
- packets (up to a max of 15 packets, since the number of packets is
- defined by a 4 bit value).
-
- Any Theora data packet that is less than path MTU SHOULD be bundled
- in the RTP packet with as many Theora packets as will fit, up to a
- maximum of 15. Path MTU is detailed in [7] and [8].
-
- If a Theora packet is larger than 65535 octets it MUST be fragmented.
- A fragmented packet has a zero in the last four bits of the payload
- header. The first fragment will set the Fragment type to 1. Each
- fragment after the first will set the Fragment type to 2 in the
- payload header. The RTP packet containing the last fragment of the
- Theora packet will have the Fragment type set to 3. To maintain the
- correct sequence for fragmented packet reception the timestamp field
- of fragmented packets MUST be the same as the first packet sent, with
- the sequence number incremented as normal for the subsequent RTP
- packets.
-
-5.1. Example Fragmented Theora Packet
-
- Here is an example fragmented Theora packet split over three RTP
- packets. Each packet contains the standard RTP headers as well as
- the 4 octet Theora headers.

- This is the last Theora fragment packet. The Fragment type filed is
- set to 3 and the packet count remains set to 0. As in the previous
- packets the timestamp remains set to the first packet in the sequence
- and the sequence number has been incremented.
-
-5.2. Packet Loss
-
- As there is no error correction within the Theora stream, packet loss
- will result in a loss of signal. Packet loss is more of an issue for
- fragmented Theora packets as the client will have to cope with the
- handling of the Fragment type field. If we use the fragmented Theora
- packet example above and the first packet is lost the client MUST
- detect that the next packet has the packet count field set to 0 and
- the Fragment type is set to 2 and MUST drop it. The next packet,
- which is the final fragmented packet, MUST be dropped in the same
- manner. Feedback reports on lost and dropped packets MUST be sent
- back via RTCP.
-
- If a particular multicast session has a large number of participants
- care must be taken to prevent an RTCP feedback implosion, [9], in the
- event of packet loss from a large number of participants.
-
- Loss of any of the Configuration fragment will result in the loss of
- the full Configuration packet with the result detailed in the Loss of

-6.1. Mapping MIME Parameters into SDP
-
- The information carried in the MIME media type specification has a
- specific mapping to fields in the Session Description Protocol (SDP)
- [6], which is commonly used to describe RTP sessions. When SDP is
- used to specify sessions the mapping are as follows:
-
- o The MIME type ("video") goes in SDP "m=" as the media name.
-
- o The MIME subtype ("THEORA") goes in SDP "a=rtpmap" as the encoding
- name.
-
- o The parameter "rate" also goes in "a=rtpmap" as clock rate.
-
- o The mandated parameters "delivery-method" and "configuration" MUST
- be included in the SDP "a=fmpt" attribute.
-
- o The optional parameter "configuration-uri", when present, MUST be
- included in the SDP "a=fmpt" attribute.
-
- If the stream comprises chained Theora files and all of them are
- known in advance, the Configuration Packet for each file SHOULD be
- packaged together and passed to the client using the configuration
- attribute.
-
- The URI specified in the configuration-uri attribute MUST point to a
- location where all of the Configuration Packets needed for the life
- of the session reside.
-
- Example:
-
-
-
-Barbato Expires April 18, 2006 [Page 18]
-
-Internet-Draft draft-barbato-avt-theora-rtp-00 October 2005
-

- c=IN IP4/6
- m=video RTP/AVP 98
- a=rtpmap:98 theora/90000
- a=fmtp:98 sampling=YCbCr-4:2:2; width=1280; height=720; delivery-
- method=inline; configuration=base16string1;
-
- The answer to any offer, [5], MUST NOT change the URI specified in
- the configuration-uri attribute. The Configuration inlined in the
- configuration parameter COULD change.
-
-
-7. Security Considerations
-
- RTP packets using this payload format are subject to the security
- considerations discussed in the RTP specification [3]. This implies
- that the confidentiality of the media stream is achieved by using
- encryption. Because the data compression used with this payload
- format is applied end-to-end, encryption may be performed on the
- compressed data. Where the size of a data block is set care MUST be
- taken to prevent buffer overflows in the client applications.

-<section anchor="Introduction" title="Introduction">
-<t>
-Theora is a general purpose, lossy video codec. It is based on the VP3.1 video codec produced by On2 Technologies and has been donated to the Xiph.org Foundation.
-</t>
-
-<t>
-Theora I is a block-based lossy transform codec that utilizes an 8 x 8 Type-II Discrete Cosine Transform and block-based motion compensation. This places it in the same class of codecs as MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and H.263. The details of how individual blocks are organized and how DCT coefficients are stored in the bitstream differ substantially from these codecs, however. Theora supports only intra frames (I frames in MPEG) and inter frames (P frames in MPEG).
-</t>
-
-<t>
-Theora provides none of its own framing, synchronization, or protection against transmission errors. Theora is a free-form variable bit rate (VBR) codec, and packets have no minimum size, maximum size, or fixed/expected size. Theora packets are thus intended to be used with a transport mechanism that provides free-form framing, synchronization, positioning, and error correction in accordance with these design assumptions, such as Ogg <xref target="rfc3533"></xref>. or RTP/AVP <xref target="rfc3550"></xref>.
-</t>
-
-<t>
-Theora I currently supports progressive video data of arbitrary dimensions at a constant frame rate in one of several YCbCr color spaces.
-Three different chroma subsampling formats are supported: 4:2:0, 4:2:2, and 4:4:4. The Theora I format does not support interlaced material, variable frame rates, bit-depths larger than 8 bits per component, nor alternate color spaces such as RGB or arbitrary multi-channel spaces. Black and white content can be efficiently encoded, however, because the uniform chroma planes compress well.
-</t>
-
-<t>
-Theora is similar to Vorbis audio <xref target="vorbisrtp"></xref> in that it requires the inclusion of the entire probability model for the DCT coefficients and all the quantization parameters in the bitstream headers to be sent ahead of the video data. It is therefore impossible to decode any frame in the stream without having previously fetched the codec info and codec setup headers, although Theora can initiate decode at an arbitrary intra-frame packet within a bitstream so long as the codec has been initialized with the setup headers.

-<t>
-The Theora codec uses relatively unstructured raw packets containing binary integer fields of arbitrary width that often do not fall on an octet boundary. When this happens the bitstream is packed to an octet boundary. When a Theora encoder produces packets, unused space in the last byte of a packet is always zeroed during the encoding process. Thus, should this unused space be read, it will return binary zeros.
-</t>

-For payloads which consist of multiple Theora packets the payload data consists of the payload length field followed by the payload data for each of the Theora packets in the payload.

-To decode a Theora stream three configuration header blocks are needed. The first header, the Identification Header, indicates the frame dimensions, quality, blocks used and the version of the Theora encoder used. The second header, the Comment Header, contains stream metadata and the third header, the Setup Header, details which contains dequantization and Huffman tables.
-</t>
-
-<t>
-Since this information must be transmitted reliably, and as the RTP stream may change certain configuration data mid-session there are different methods for delivering this configuration data to a client, both in-band and out-of-band which is detailed below. SDP delivery is used to set-up an initial state for the client application. The changes may be due to different dequantization and Huffman tables as well as different bitrates of the stream.
-</t>
-
-<t>
-The delivery vectors in use are specified by an SDP attribute to indicate the method and the optional URI where the Vorbis <xref target="Packed Configuration">Packed Configuration</xref> Packets could be fetched. Different delivery methods MAY be advertised for the same session. The in-band codebook delivery SHOULD be considered as baseline, out-of-band delivery methods that don't use RTP will not be described in this document. For non chained streams, the Configuration delivery method RECOMMENDED is inline the <xref target="Packed Configuration">Packed Configuration</xref> in the SDP as explained in the <xref target="Mapping MIME Parameters into SDP"> IANA considerations</xref>
-</t>
-
-<t>
-The 24 bit Ident field is used to map which Configuration will be used to decodea packet. When the Ident field changes, it indicates that a change in the stream has taken place. The client application MUST have in advance the correct configuration and if the client detects a change in the Ident value and does not have this information it MUST NOT decode the raw data associated until it fetches the correct Configuration.

As the RTP headers are not required for this method of delivery the structure of the configuration data is slightly different. The packed header starts with a 32 bit count field which details the number of packed headers that are contained in the bundle. Next is the Packed header payload for each chained Theora stream.

-Unlike the loss of raw Theora payload data, loss of a configuration header can lead to a situation where it will not be possible to successfully decode the stream.
-</t>

-Loss of Configuration Packet results in the halting of stream decoding and SHOULD be reported to the client as well as a loss report sent via RTCP.

-Each RTP packet contains either one complete Theora packet, one Theora packet fragment, or an integer number of complete Theora packets (up to a max of 15 packets, since the number of packets is defined by a 4 bit value).
-</t>

-<t>
-Any Theora data packet that is less than path MTU SHOULD be bundled in the RTP packet with as many Theora packets as will fit, up to a maximum of 15. Path MTU is detailed in <xref target="rfc1063"></xref> and <xref target="rfc1981"></xref>.

-If a Theora packet is larger than 65535 octets it MUST be fragmented. A fragmented packet has a zero in the last four bits of the payload header. The first fragment will set the Fragment type to 1. Each fragment after the first will set the Fragment type to 2 in the payload header. The RTP packet containing the last fragment of the Theora packet will have the Fragment type set to 3. To maintain the correct sequence for fragmented packet reception the timestamp field of fragmented packets MUST be the same as the first packet sent, with the sequence number incremented as normal for the subsequent RTP packets.</t>

-<t>
-As there is no error correction within the Theora stream, packet loss will result in a loss of signal. Packet loss is more of an issue for fragmented Theora packets as the client will have to cope with the handling of the Fragment type field. If we use the fragmented Theora packet example above and the first packet is lost the client MUST detect that the next packet has the packet count field set to 0 and the Fragment type is set to 2 and MUST drop it. The next packet, which is the final fragmented packet, MUST be dropped in the same manner. Feedback reports on lost and dropped packets MUST be sent back via RTCP.

-If a particular multicast session has a large number of participants care must be taken to prevent an RTCP feedback implosion,

-<section anchor="Mapping MIME Parameters into SDP" title="Mapping MIME Parameters into SDP">
-
-<t>
-The information carried in the MIME media type specification has a specific mapping to fields in the Session Description Protocol (SDP) <xref target="rfc2327"></xref>, which is commonly used to describe RTP sessions. When SDP is used to specify sessions the mapping are as follows:
-</t>
-
-<vspace blankLines="1" />
-<list style="symbols">
-
-<t>The MIME type ("video") goes in SDP "m=" as the media name.</t>
-<vspace blankLines="1" />
-
-<t>The MIME subtype ("THEORA") goes in SDP "a=rtpmap" as the encoding name.</t>
-<vspace blankLines="1" />
-
-<t>The parameter "rate" also goes in "a=rtpmap" as clock rate.</t>
-<vspace blankLines="1" />
-
-<t>The mandated parameters "delivery-method" and "configuration" MUST be included in the SDP "a=fmpt" attribute.</t>
-<vspace blankLines="1" />
-
-<t>The optional parameter "configuration-uri", when present, MUST be included in the SDP "a=fmpt" attribute.</t>
-</list>
-
-
-<t>
-If the stream comprises chained Theora files and all of them are known in advance, the Configuration Packet for each file SHOULD be packaged together and passed to the client using the configuration attribute.
-</t>
-
-<t>
-The URI specified in the configuration-uri attribute MUST point to a location where all of the Configuration Packets needed for the life of the session reside.
-</t>
-
-<t>Example:</t>
-
-<vspace blankLines="1" />
-
-<list style="empty">
-<t>c=IN IP4/6 </t>
-<t>m=video RTP/AVP 98</t>
-<t>a=rtpmap:98 theora/90000</t>
-<t>a=fmtp:98 sampling=YCbCr-4:2:2; width=1280; height=720; delivery-method=inline; configuration=base16string1;</t>
-</list>
-
-<t>
-The answer to any offer, <xref target="rfc3264"></xref>, MUST NOT change the URI specified in the configuration-uri attribute. The Configuration inlined in the configuration parameter COULD change.
-</t>
-
-</section>
-</section>
-
-<section anchor="Security Considerations" title="Security Considerations">
-<t>
-RTP packets using this payload format are subject to the security considerations discussed in the RTP specification
-<xref target="rfc3550"></xref>. This implies that the confidentiality of the media stream is achieved by using
-encryption. Because the data compression used with this payload format is applied end-to-end, encryption may be performed on the
-compressed data. Where the size of a data block is set care MUST be taken to prevent buffer overflows in the client applications.
