This document defines a new RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) Packet Type
and an RTCP Extended Report (XR) Block Type to be used for achieving
Inter-Destination Media Synchronization (IDMS). IDMS is the process
of synchronizing playout across multiple media receivers. Using the
RTCP XR IDMS Report Block defined in this document, media playout
information from participants in a synchronization group can be
collected. Based on the collected information, an RTCP IDMS Settings
Packet can then be sent to distribute a common target playout point
to which all the distributed receivers, sharing a media experience,
can synchronize.
Typical use cases in which IDMS is useful are social TV, shared
service control (i.e., applications where two or more geographically
separated users are watching a media stream together), distance
learning, networked video walls, networked loudspeakers, etc.
This document is a product of the Audio/Video Transport Core Maintenance Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
