Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

This Amendment establishes conformance test requirements for conformance to ITU-T Rec. H.264 | ISO/IEC 14496‑10. 

In this Amendment, additional text to ITU-T Rec. H.264 | ISO/IEC 14496‑4 is specified for testing the conformance of ITU-T Rec. H.264.1 | ISO/IEC 14496‑10 video decoders including in particular the MFC Depth High Profiles.

The following subclauses specify the normative tests for verifying conformance of ITU-T Rec. H.264 | ISO/IEC 14496‑10 video bitstreams and decoders. These normative tests make use of test data (bitstream test suites) provided as an electronic Annex to this document, and of the reference software decoder specified in ITU-T Rec. H.264.2 | ISO/IEC 14496‑5 with source code available in electronic format.
