Abstract
This document specifies a packetization scheme for encapsulating
12-bit nonlinear, 20-bit linear, and 24-bit linear audio data streams
using the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP). This document also
specifies the format of a Session Description Protocol (SDP)
parameter to indicate when audio data is preemphasized before
sampling. The parameter may be used with other audio payload
formats, in particular L16 (16-bit linear).
1. Introduction
This document describes the sampling of audio data in 12-bit
nonlinear, 20-bit linear, and 24-bit linear encodings, and specifies
the encapsulation of the audio data into the Real-time Transport
Protocol (RTP), version 2 [1,2]. DAT (digital audio tape) and DV
(digital video) devices [3,4] use these audio encodings in addition
to 16-bit linear encoding. The packetization scheme for 16-bit
linear audio (L16) is already specified [2,5]. This document
specifies the packetization scheme for the other encodings following
that for L16; in particular, when used with the RTP profile [2],
these payload formats follow the encoding-independent rules for
sample ordering and channel interleaving specified in [2] plus
extensions specified here. This document also specifies out-of-band
negotiation methods for the extended channel interleaving rules and
for use when an analog preemphasis technique is applied to the audio
data.
1.1 Terminology
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 [6]
2. The need for RTP encapsulation of 12-, 20- and 24-bit audio
Many high-quality digital audio and visual systems, such as DAT and
DV, adopt sample-based audio encodings. Different audio formats are
used in various situations. To transport the audio data using RTP,
an encapsulation needs to be defined for each specific format. Only
16-bit linear audio encapsulation (L16) has thus far been defined.
Other encoding formats have already appeared, such as the 12-bit
nonlinear, 20-bit linear and 24-bit linear encodings used in the DAT
and DV video world. This specification defines the RTP payload
encapsulation format in order to use the new encodings in the RTP
environment.
3. 12-bit nonlinear audio encapsulation
IEC 61119 [3] specifies the 12-bit nonlinear audio format in DAT and
DV, called LP (Long Play) audio. It would be easy to convert 12-bit
nonlinear audio into 16-bit linear form at the RTP sender and
transmit it using the L16 audio format already defined. However,
this would consume 33% more network bandwidth than necessary. This
payload format is specified as a more efficient alternative.
The 12-bit nonlinear encoding is the same as for 16-bit linear audio
except for the packing of each sampled data element. Each sample of
12-bit nonlinear audio is derived from a single sample of 16-bit
linear audio by a nonlinear compression. Table 1 shows the details
of the conversion from 16 to 12 bits. The result is a 12-bit signed
value ranging from -2048 to 2047 and it is represented in two's
complement notation. The 12-bit samples are packed contiguously into
payload octets starting with the most significant bit. When the
payload contains an odd number of samples, the four LSBs of the last
octet are unused. Parameters other than quantization, e.g., sampling
frequency and audio channel assignment, are the same as in the L16
payload format. In particular, samples are packed into the packet in
time sequence beginning with the oldest sample.

Table 1. Conversion from 16-bit linear values (X) to 12-bit
nonlinear values (Y) [3]
When conveying encoding information in an SDP [7] session
description, the 12-bit nonlinear audio payload format specified here
is given the encoding name "DAT12". Thus, the media format
representation might be:
m=audio 49230 RTP/AVP 97 98
a=rtpmap:97 DAT12/32000/2
a=rtpmap:98 L16/48000/2
4. 20- and 24-bit linear audio encapsulation
The 20- and 24-bit linear audio encodings are simply an extension of
the L16 linear audio encoding [2]. The 20- or 24-bit uncompressed
audio data samples are represented as signed values in two's
complement notation. The samples are packed contiguously into
payload octets starting with the most significant bit. For the
20-bit encoding, when the payload contains an odd number of samples,
the four LSBs of the last octet are unused. Samples are packed into
the packet in time sequence beginning with the oldest sample.
When conveying encoding information in an SDP session description,
the 20- and 24-bit linear audio payload formats specified here are
given the encoding names "L20" and "L24", respectively. An example
SDP audio media description would be:
m=audio 49230 RTP/AVP 99 100
a=rtpmap:99 L20/48000/2
a=rtpmap:100 L24/48000
5. Preemphasized audio data
In order to improve the higher frequency characteristics of audio
signals, analog preemphasis is often applied to the signal before
quantization. If analog preemphasis was applied before the payload
data was sampled, the type of the preemphasis SHOULD be conveyed with
out-of-band signaling. An "emphasis" parameter is defined for this
purpose and may be conveyed either as a MIME optional parameter or
using the SDP format-specific attribute (a=fmtp line) as below:
a=fmtp:<payload type> emphasis=<emphasis type>
Only one <emphasis type> value is defined for the parameter at this
point:
50-15 <50/15 microsecond CD-type emphasis>
The emphasis attribute MUST NOT be included in the SDP record if
preemphasis was not applied. This rule allows the emphasis attribute
to be used with other audio formats, in particular L16 [2], while
retaining backward compatibility with existing implementations so
long as preemphasis is not applied. If an existing application that
does not implement preemphasis accepts a session description with an
emphasis attribute but ignores that attribute, the only penalty is
that the sound will be too "bright" when receiving or "dull" when
sending.
A sample SDP record showing preemphasis applied only to payload type
99 might be as follows:
m=audio 49230 RTP/AVP 99 100
a=rtpmap:99 L20/48000/2
a=fmtp:99 emphasis=50-15
a=rtpmap:100 L24/48000
6. Translation of DV audio error code
The DV video specification IEC 61834-4 [4] defines the negative full-
scale audio sample value to be an audio error code indicating that no
valid audio sample is available for that sample period. Such an
error might occur due to a failure while reading audio data from
magnetic tape. The audio error code values for each of the DV audio
encodings are (in hexadecimal):
12-bit nonlinear: 800h
16-bit linear: 8000h
20-bit linear: 80000h
For the payload formats defined in this document, as well as for the
L16 payload format defined in [2], no such error code is defined.
That is, all possible sample values are valid. When an RTP sender
accepts audio samples from a DV video system and encapsulates those
samples according to one of these payload formats, the RTP sender
SHOULD perform some error concealment algorithm which may depend upon
whether a single sample error or multiple sample errors have
occurred. The error concealment algorithm is not specified here and
is left to the implementation. The RTP sender MAY treat the error
code as if it were a valid audio sample, but this is likely to cause
undesirable audio output.
Conversely, an RTP receiver that accepts audio packets in one of
these payload formats and delivers the audio samples to a DV video
system SHOULD translate the audio samples that would be interpreted
as error codes into the next smaller negative audio value. Such
audio samples may be present because the audio packets may have come
from a source other than a DV video system. The DV video
specification [4] gives the following translations for the defined
audio encodings:
12-bit nonlinear: 800h -> 801h
16-bit linear: 8000h -> 8001h
20-bit linear: 80000h - 8000Fh -> 80010h
For the 20-bit linear encoding, note that multiple audio sample
values are translated in order to allow a 16-bit system to play 20-
bit audio data by ignoring the least significant four bits. Note
also that no translation is specified for 24-bit linear audio because
that encoding is not included in the DV video specification.
7. Channel interleaving and non-AIFF-C audio channel convention
When multiple channels of audio, such as in a stereo program, are
multiplexed into a single RTP stream, the audio samples from each
channel are interleaved according to the rules specified in [2] to be
consistent with the L16 payload format. That is, samples from
different channels taken at the same sampling instant are packed into
consecutive octets. For example, for a two-channel encoding, the
sample sequence is (left channel, first sample), (right channel,
first sample), (left channel, second sample), (right channel, second
sample). Samples for all channels belonging to a single sampling
instant MUST be contained in the same packet.
This sample order differs from the packing of samples into blocks in
a native DV audio stream. Therefore, applications transmitting DV
audio using the payload formats defined in this document MUST
reshuffle the samples into the order specified here. This
requirement is intended to enable interworking between DV systems and
other digital audio systems. Applications choosing to send bundled
DV audio/video streams using the native DV block structure may use
the payload format defined in [8] instead.
Most of the existing RTP audio payload formats follow the AIFF-C
convention for channel ordering as specified in [2] when sending more
than two audio channels within a single RTP stream. However, this
convention does not cover some applications. For example, some DV
audio formats define a "woofer" channel, but AIFF-C does not include
this frequency-dependent channel. Thus, it is necessary to specify
the audio channel allocation information explicitly when the contents
of the audio stream are beyond the scope of AIFF-C.
For DV audio streams of 4 or more channels, the channel order MUST be
specified out-of-band. This applies both to the payload formats
defined in this document and to the L16 payload format. A "channel-
order" parameter is defined here for this purpose and may be conveyed
either as a MIME optional parameter or with the SDP a=fmtp attribute
using the following syntax:
a=fmtp:<payload type> channel-order=<convention>.<order>
The first component of the value, <convention>, specifies the type of
channel assignment convention used. This allows for conventions
other than AIFF-C and DV to be defined in the future. This document
defines only one convention for use in the channel-order parameter:
DV
The second component of the value, <order>, indicates the arrangement
of channels within the stream. The DV video specification [4]
defines the types of audio channels that may be present and in what
order. The symbols used to denote the channel types are reproduced
in the Appendix at the end of this document. For the DV convention,
the following values, which were formed from the concatenation of the
individual channel symbols in the allowed channel orders, are defined
for the <order> component:
4 channels: LRLsRs, LRCS, LRCWo
5 channels: LRLsRsC
6 channels: LRLsRsCS, LmixRmixTWoQ1Q2
8 channels: LRCWoLsRsLmixRmix, LRCWoLs1Rs1Ls2Rs2, LRCWoLsRsLcRc
The <convention> and <order> symbols are case-insensitive, but are
shown here in mixed case to make the individual channel symbols more
apparent. These concatenated symbols were deliberately constructed
without separators to make clear the fact that the channels MUST NOT
be assembled in other, arbitrary orders.
For interworking with DV video systems, some of the audio encodings
are defined only for a subset of the channel combinations listed
above. The DV video specification lists the channel combinations
that are allowed for each encoding.
The channel-order parameter MUST be consistent with the number of
channels specified in the MIME optional parameter "channels" or in
the a=rtpmap attribute of SDP. For RTP audio streams of 1, 2 or 3
channels, the AIFF-C channel order is used and is implicit in the
number of audio channels specified. To allow backward compatibility,
the channel-order parameter MUST NOT be included in this case.
Note that for the DV convention with 5 channels only one channel
order is allowed, but for consistency the channel-order parameter
MUST be included nonetheless.
An example of an SDP session description using the channel-order
parameter is:
v=0
o=ikob 2890844526 2890842807 IN IP4 126.16.64.4
s=POI (Audio only)
i=A Seminar on making Presentations on the Internet
u=http://www.koganei.wide.ad.jp/~ikob/POI/index.html
e=ikob@koganei.wide.ad.jp (Katsushi Kobayashi)
c=IN IP4 224.2.17.12/127
t=2873397496 2873404696
m=audio 49170 RTP/AVP 112 113
a=rtpmap:112 L16/48000/2
a=rtpmap:113 DAT12/32000/4
a=fmtp:113 emphasis=50-15; channel-order=DV.LRCWO
This session description shows the audio medium being transmitted in
two formats, L16 and DAT12, using payload type numbers 112 and 113,
respectively. For the L16 format, the audio data contains 2-channel
stereo following the implicit, default AIFF-C convention for left
channel first and right channel second. For the DAT12 format, the
audio data contains 4 channels following the DV audio convention for
the channels left, right, center, and woofer.
This example also shows how multiple MIME optional parameters
("emphasis" and "channel-order") for these payload formats are mapped
to a single a=fmtp attribute as a semicolon separated list of
parameter=value pairs.
The channel-order parameter described here provides a generic out-of-
band mechanism to define alternatives to the AIFF-C channel order.
However, if multi-channel audio data could be sent following the
AIFF-C channel convention after simple processing, such as a data
shuffling on the sender side, the alternative channel order SHOULD
NOT be defined and instead the AIFF-C order SHOULD be employed to
maximize interoperability.
Moreover, multiple channels of audio data should only be multiplexed
within a single RTP stream when all of the audio channels are
intended to be reproduced together, such as the left and right
channels in a stereo program. Independent audio channels, such as
multiple language translations, SHOULD be sent in separate RTP
sessions. This reduces bandwidth requirements by allowing receivers
to tune in to only those channels which are desired.
8. MIME registration
This document defines some new RTP payload format names which are
also registered as MIME subtypes: DAT12, L20 and L24. The
registration forms for these MIME subtypes are provided in the next
sections.
8.1 MIME registration form for audio/DAT12
MIME media type name: audio
MIME subtype name: DAT12
Required parameters:
rate: number of samples per second -- RECOMMENDED values for rate
are 8000, 11025, 16000, 22050, 24000, 32000, 44100 and 48000
samples per second. Other values are permissible.
Optional parameters:
channels: how many audio streams are interleaved -- defaults to 1;
stereo would be 2, etc. Interleaving takes place between
individual 12-bit samples.
emphasis: analog preemphasis applied to the data before
quantization. The only emphasis value defined here is
emphasis=50-15 to indicate 50/15 microsecond preemphasis. This
parameter MUST be omitted if no analog preemphasis was applied.
channel-order: specifies the sample interleaving order for
multiple-channel audio streams (see RFC 3190 Section 7).
Permissible values are DV.LRLsRs, DV.LRCS, DV.LRCWo,

For interoperation with DV video systems, only a subset of
these channel combinations is specified for use with 12-bit
nonlinear encoding in the DV video specification [4]; that
subset is all of the above except DV.LmixRmixTWoQ1Q2. This
parameter MUST be omitted when the AIFF-C channel order
convention is in use.

9. Security Considerations
RTP packets using the payload format defined in this specification
are subject to the security considerations discussed in the RTP
specification [1], and any appropriate RTP profile [2]. This implies
that confidentiality of the media streams is achieved by encryption.
Because the data compression used along with this payload format is
applied end-to-end, encryption may be performed after compression so
there is no conflict between the two operations.
A potential denial-of-service threat exists for data encodings using
compression techniques that have non-uniform receiver-end
computational load. The attacker can inject pathological datagrams
into the stream which are complex to decode and cause the receiver to
be overloaded. However, this encoding does not exhibit any
significant non-uniformity.
As with any IP-based protocol, in some circumstances a receiver may
be overloaded simply by the receipt of too many packets, either
desired or undesired. Network-layer authentication may be used to
discard packets from undesired sources, but the processing cost of
the authentication itself may be too high. In a multicast
environment, pruning of specific sources may be implemented in future
versions of IGMP [9] and in multicast routing protocols to allow a
receiver to select which sources are allowed to reach it.
10. IANA Considerations
This document defines two new MIME subtype-specific optional
parameters "emphasis" and "channel-order", which are specified with
the sets of permissible values for those parameters in Sections 5 and
7, respectively. Section 8 includes registrations for three new MIME
subtypes that use those optional parameters. These registrations
define the subset of the optional parameter values allowed for each
subtype. It is expected that the number of additional values that
will need to be defined for these optional parameters is small.
Therefore, anyone wishing to define new values is required to produce
a revision of this document to be vetted through the normal Internet
Standards process.
