The IESG has approved the following document: - 'RTP Payload Format for MIDI' (draft-ietf-payload-rfc4695-bis-02.txt) as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Audio/Video Transport Payloads Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Robert Sparks and Gonzalo Camarillo. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-payload-rfc4695-bis/ Technical Summary This memo describes a Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) payload format for the MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) command language. The format encodes all commands that may legally appear on a MIDI 1.0 DIN cable. The format is suitable for interactive applications (such as network musical performance) and content- delivery applications (such as file streaming). The format may be used over unicast and multicast UDP and TCP, and it defines tools for graceful recovery from packet loss. Stream behavior, including the MIDI rendering method, may be customized during session setup. The format also serves as a mode for the mpeg4-generic format, to support the MPEG 4 Audio Object Types for General MIDI, Downloadable Sounds Level 2, and Structured Audio. Working Group Summary The first version of the document came out in 2007 and the document was kept alive in order to capture any errata that will be discovered. The authors now feel that the implementations are stable and that it is time to publish the update. Document Quality There are existing implementations and this update for RFC 4695 is based on issues that were found by implementers. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
