Overview on MPEG MMT technology and its application to hybrid media delivery over heterogeneous networks

Abstract

The MPEG has recently developed a new standard, MPEG Media Transport (MMT), for the next-generation hybrid media delivery service over IP networks considering the emerging convergence of digital broadcast and broadband services. MMT is intended to overcome the current limitations of available standards for media streaming by providing a streaming format that is transportand file-format-friendly, cross-layer optimized between the video and transport layers, error-resilient for MPEG streams, and convertible between transport mechanisms and content adaptation to different networks. In this paper, we overview on the MPEG MMT technology and describe its application to hybrid media delivery over heterogeneous networks.
