1 General
1.1 Scope
This part of ISO/IEC 1381 8 specifies how tests can be designed to verify whether bitstreams and decoders meet requirements specified in parts 1, 2 and 3 ofISO/IEC 13818. In this part of ISO/IEC 13818, encoders are not addressed specifically. An encoder may be said to be an ISO/IEC 13818 encoder if it generates bitstreams compliant with the syntactic and semantic bitstream requirements specified in parts 1, 2 and 3 of ISO/IEC 13818.
Characteristics of coded bitstreams and decoders are defined for parts 1, 2 and 3 of ISO/IEC 13818. The characteristics of a bitstream define the subset of the standard that is exploited in the bitstream. Examples are the applied values or range of the picture size and bitrate parameters. Decoder characteristics define the properties and capabilities of the applied decoding process. An example of a property is the applied arithmetic accuracy. The capabilities of a decoder specify which coded bitstreams the decoder can decode and reconstruct, by defining the subset of the standard that may be exploited in decodable bitstreams. A bitstream can be decoded by a decoder if the characteristics of the coded bitstream are within the subset of the standard specifed by the decoder capabilities.
Procedures are described for testing conformance of bitstreams and decoders to the requirements defined in parts 1, 2 and 3 of ISO/IEC 13818. Given the set of characteristics claimed, the requirements that must be met are fully deternined by parts 1, 2 and 3 of ISO/IEC 13818. This part of ISO/IEC 13818 summarises the requirements, cross references them to characteristics, and defines how conformance with them can be tested. Guidelines are given on constructing tests to verify bitstream and decoder conformance. This document gives guidelines on how to construct bitstream test suites to check or verify decoder conformance. In addition, some test bitstreams implemented according to those guidelines are provided in the electronic file directory called “Test bitstreams”.
