Subject: Protocol Action: RTP Payload Format for SMPTE 292M Video to
	 Proposed Standard
-------------

The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'RTP Payload Format for SMPTE 
292M Video' <draft-ietf-avt-smpte292-video-08.txt> as a Proposed 
Standard. This document is the product of the Audio/Video Transport 
Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Scott Bradner and Allison 
Mankin.

   
 Technical Summary
   
   This document specifies a RTP payload format for encapsulating 
   uncompressed High Definition Television (HDTV) as defined by the 
   Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) standard, 
   SMPTE 292M. SMPTE is the main standardizing body in the motion 
   imaging industry and the SMPTE 292M standard defines a bit-serial 
   digital interface for local area HDTV transport and defines a 
   universal medium of interchange for uncompressed High Definition 
   Television (HDTV) between various types of video equipment 
   (cameras, encoders, VTRs, etc.). SMPTE 292M stipulates that the 
   source data be in 10 bit words and the total data rate be either 
   1.485 Gbps or 1.485/1.001 Gbps.

   The use of a dedicated serial interconnect is appropriate in a 
   studio environment, but it is desirable to leverage the widespread 
   availability of high bandwidth IP connectivity to allow efficient 
   wide area delivery of area delivery of SMPTE 292M format content. 
   This memo defines a way to do so.
   
 Working Group Summary
   
   The AVT working group supported publication of this document on the
   standards track.
