Annotation of standard text ISO/IEC 23004-1-ed.1.0 :

ISO/IEC 23004-1:2007 specifies the architecture of the MPEG Multimedia Middleware technology. Multimedia Middleware (M3W) allows application software to execute multimedia functions with a minimum knowledge of the inner workings of the multimedia middleware as well as to support a structured way of updating, upgrading and/or extending the multimedia middleware. The architecture consists of the following.

• M3W API:
  • multimedia API (specified in detail in ISO/IEC 23004-2);
  • interfaces for audio broadcast decoding, processing and rendering;
  • interfaces for video broadcast decoding, processing and rendering;
  • IPMP interfaces;
  • governance interfaces.
• Support API (specified in detail in ISO/IEC 23004-3 to ISO/IEC 23004-7):
  • interfaces for instantiation of services (Runtime Environment and Service Manager);
  • interfaces for interaction with remote services (REMI-P and REMI-R, REMI stands for Remote Method Invocator);
  • interfaces for Resource Management;
  • interfaces for Component Download;
  • interfaces for Fault Management;
  • interfaces for Integrity Management.
• Realization technology (specified in detail in ISO/IEC 23004-3):
  • Unit of Trading;
  • Unit of Loading;
  • Unit of Instantiation;
  • standard interfaces:
    • navigation between interfaces,
    • binding,
    • access to public attributes.
