+
+
+1.  Introduction
+
+   Theora is a general purpose, lossy video codec.  It is based on the
+   VP3 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.  Instead, the codec expects
+   to receive a discrete sequence of data packets.  Theora is a free-
+   form variable bit rate (VBR) codec, and these 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 Y'CbCr 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.  Arbitrary frame size will be encoded rounding to the
+   upper multiple of 16 both dimension for performance reason.  The
+   original width and height will be encoded in the header and the
+   decoder will use this information to clip the decoded frame to the
+   right dimensions.
+
+   Theora is similar to the Vorbis audio [10] in that it the decoder
+   reads the probability model for the entropy coder and all
+   quantization parameters from special "header" packets at the start of
+   the compressed data.  It is therefore impossible to decode any video
+   data without having previously fetched the codec info and codec setup
+   headers, although Theora can initiate decode at an arbitrary intra-
+   frame packet so long as the codec has been initialized with the
+   associated headers.

+
+   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
+
+   For RTP based transportation of Theora encoded video the standard RTP
+   header is followed by a 4 octets payload header, then the payload
+   data.  The payload headers are used to associate the Theora data with
+   its associated decoding codebooks as well as indicating if the
+   following packet contains fragmented Theora data and/or the number of
+   whole Theora data frames.  The payload data contains the raw Theora
+   bitstream information.
+
+   For RTP based transport of Theora encoded video the standard RTP
+   header is followed by a 4 octets 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.

+   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
+
+   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 presentation time of the first sample of
+   the first Theora packet in the RTP packet.  The clock frequency MUST
+   be set to 90kHz.
+
+   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
+
+   The 4 octets following the RTP Header section are the Payload Header.
+   This header is split into a number of bitfields detailing the format
+   of the following Payload Data packets.

+
+   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 according to the following list
+
+      0 = Not Fragmented
+      1 = Start Fragment
+      2 = Continuation Fragment
+      3 = End Fragment
+
+   This field must be zero if the number of packets field is non-zero.
+
+   Theora Data Type (TDT): 2 bits
+
+   This field sets the packet payload type for the Theora data.  There
+   are currently three Theora payload types.
+
+      0 = Raw Theora payload
+      1 = Theora Packed Configuration payload
+      2 = Legacy Theora Comment payload
+      3 = Reserved
+
+   The packets with a TDT of value 3 MUST be ignored
+
+   The last 4 bits represent 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 packet data.

+
+   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 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 first
+   Theora packet's data, then the payload length followed by the second
+   Theora packet, and so on for each of the Theora packets in the
+   payload.

+
+   Figure 5: Example Theora Payload Packet
+
+   The payload portion of the packet begins with the 24 bit
+   Configuration ident field followed by 8 bits describing the payload.
+   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
+   followed by the variable length Theora packet data.
+
+
+3.  Configuration Headers
+
+   To decode a Theora stream three configuration header packets are
+   needed.  The first, called the Identification Header, indicates the
+   frame dimensions, quality, blocks used and the version of the Theora
+   encoder used.  The second, called the Comment Header, contains stream
+   metadata and the third, called the Setup Header, contains details of
+   the 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 are 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

+   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 decode a 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 [16], the identification and the setup will be packed
+   together, the comment header is completely suppressed.  It is up to
+   the client to provide a minimal size comment header to the decoder if
+   required by the implementation.

+3.2.1.  Packed Headers
+
+   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 setup id.

+3.3.  Loss of Configuration Headers
+
+   Unlike the loss of raw Theora payload data, the loss of a
+   configuration header can lead to a situation where it will not be
+   possible to successfully decode the stream.
+
+   A loss of a 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
+
+   When the payload type is set to 2, the packet contains 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
+   title information.  Clients MAY ignore them completely.  The details
+   on the format of the comments can be found in the Theora
+   documentation [16].

+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 maximum 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].
+
+   A fragmented packet has a zero in the last four bits of the payload
+   header.  The RTP packet containing the first fragment will set the
+   Fragment type to 1.  Each RTP packet 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.  If the fragmented Theora packet spans only two RTP
+   packets, the first will set the Fragment type field to 1 and the
+   second will set it to 2.  To maintain the correct sequence for
+   fragmented packet reception the timestamp field of fragmented packets

+
+   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.[note: reordering]
+
+   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 as 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
+
+
+

+
+Internet-Draft       draft-barbato-avt-rtp-theora-01       February 2006
+
+
+   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 clock rate in the "a=rtpmap" line MUST be 90000
+
+   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 and MUST follow the
+      delivery-method that applies.
+
+   If the stream uses multiple decoder setup configurations 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.
+
+6.1.1.  SDP Example
+
+   The following example shows a basic SDP for a single stream.  The
+   first configuration packet is inlined in the sdp, other
+   configurations could be fetched at any time from the first provided
+   uri using or all the known configuration could be downloaded using
+   the second uri.  The inline base16 [11] configuration string is
+   omitted because of the lenght.
+      c=IN IP4 192.0.0.1
+      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; delivery-
+      method=out_band/rtsp; delivery-method=out_band/rtsp;

+      method=out_band/http; configuration-uri=http://another/path/to/
+      resource/aggregate.bz2!sha1hash;
+
+6.2.  Usage with the SDP Offer/Answer Model
+
+   The offer, as described in An Offer/Answer Model Session Description
+   Protocol [5], may contain a large number of delivery methods per
+   single fmtp attribute, the answerer MUST remove every delivery-method

+
+
+   and configuration-uri not supported.  All the parameters MUST not be
+   altered on answer otherwise.
+
+
+7.  Examples
+
+   The following examples are common usage patterns that MAY be applied
+   in such situations, the main scope of this section is to explain
+   better usage of the transmission vectors.
+
+7.1.  Stream Video
+
+   This is one of the most common situation: one single server streaming
+   content in multicast, the clients may start a session at random time.
+   The content itself could be a mix of live stream, as the wj's voice
+   or studio scenes, and stored streams, as the music she plays.
+
+   In this situation we don't know in advance how many codebooks we will
+   use.  The clients can join anytime and users expect to start the
+   fruition of the content in a short time.
+
+   On join the client will receive the current Configuration necessary
+   to decode the current streams inlined in the SDP so that the decoding
+   will start immediately after.
+
+   When the streamed content changes the new Configuration is sent in-
+   band before the actual stream, and the Configuration that has to be
+   sent inline in the SDP updated.  Since the inline method is
+   unreliable, an out of band fallback is provided.
+
+   The client could choose to fetch the Configuration from the alternate
+   source as soon it discovers a Configuration packet got lost inline or
+   use selective retransmission [17], if the server supports the
+   feature.
+
+   A serverside optimization would be to keep an hash list of the
+   Configurations per session to avoid packing all of them and send the
+   same Configuration with different Ident tags
+
+   A clientside optimization would be to keep a tag list of the
+   Configurations per session and don't process configuration packets
+   already known.
+
+
+8.  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 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. Instead, the codec expects to receive a discrete sequence of data packets. Theora is a free-form variable bit rate (VBR) codec, and these 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 Y'CbCr 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. Arbitrary frame size will be encoded rounding to the upper multiple of 16 both dimension for performance reason. The original width and height will be encoded in the header and the decoder will use this information to clip the decoded frame to the right dimensions.
+</t>
+
+<t>
+Theora is similar to the Vorbis audio <xref target="vorbisrtp"></xref> in that it the decoder reads the probability model for the entropy coder and all quantization parameters from special "header" packets at the start of the compressed data.  It is therefore impossible to decode any video data without having previously fetched the codec info and codec setup headers, although Theora can initiate decode at an arbitrary intra-frame packet so long as the codec has been initialized with the associated headers.

+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 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 packets are needed.  The first, called the Identification Header, indicates the frame dimensions, quality, blocks used and the version of the Theora encoder used.  The second, called the Comment Header, contains stream metadata and the third, called the Setup Header, contains details of the 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 are 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 decode a 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 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.[note: reordering]

+<t>
+The following examples are common usage patterns that MAY be applied in such situations, the main scope of this section is to explain better usage of the transmission vectors.
+</t>
+<!--
+
+<section anchor="Peer to Peer Internet Messaging" title="Peer to Peer Internet Messaging">
+
+<t>This scenario implies two peers linked through a best effort network, the bandwidth isn't guaranteed and may have large variance, in order to keep the latency low enough dynamic adaptation tecniques [missing reference] are required.</t>
+
+<t>Each peer will receive 2 streams (voice and video) from the other. To determine the quality of the stream and ensure the latency is bearable [put maximum latency here] a form of handshake is required. SIP or Jingle or TINS could be used in this phase.</t>
+
+<t>Since changes in the bitrates will reflect on the setup header, the simplest way to get dynamic adaptation is to consider each stream as a completely different coded, have a payload number for each of them and use the dynamic coding change tecniques.</t>
+
+<t>Due the latency requirement even if sending the Configuration in-band MAY be possible, usually it SHOULD be avoided. Other out of band methods that send Configuration on demand, since they would affect latency as the in-band method, SHOULD be avoided as well. Agree on a set of Configurations related to different bitrates during the session initiation is the best method.</t>
+
+</section>
+-->
+<section anchor="Stream Video" title="Stream Video">
+
+<t>This is one of the most common situation: one single server streaming content in multicast, the clients may start a session at random time. The content itself could be a mix of live stream, as the wj's voice or studio scenes, and stored streams, as the music she plays.</t>
+
+<t>In this situation we don't know in advance how many codebooks we will use. The clients can join anytime and users expect to start the fruition of the content in a short time.</t>
+
+<t>On join the client will receive the current Configuration necessary to decode the current streams inlined in the SDP so that the decoding will start immediately after.</t>
+
+<t>When the streamed content changes the new Configuration is sent in-band before the actual stream, and the Configuration that has to be sent inline in the SDP updated. Since the inline method is unreliable, an out of band fallback is provided.</t>
+
+<t>The client could choose to fetch the Configuration from the alternate source as soon it discovers a Configuration packet got lost inline or use <xref target="rfc3611">selective retransmission</xref>, if the server supports the feature.</t>
+
+<t>A serverside optimization would be to keep an hash list of the Configurations per session to avoid packing all of them and send the same Configuration with different Ident tags</t>
+
+<t>A clientside optimization would be to keep a tag list of the Configurations per session and don't process configuration packets already known.</t>

+
+<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.
