scope:

This part of ISO/IEC 14165-321 specifies the transport of digital Audio and Video formats over Fibre Channel. Specifications are included for: - a coherent framework (i.e., an FC-AV Container and Objects) for mapping current and future digital Audio and Video formats to Fibre Channel; - mapping the formats defined by the ITU-R BT-601 and SMPTE family of standards to Fibre Channel; - mapping the formats defined by the ISO/IEC 3818 family of standards (which include MPEG and related compression systems) to Fibre Channel; - a profile (i.e., Simple Parametric Digital Video) that parametrically defines the characteristics of Audio and Video information for specific applications; and, - data packing guidelines recommended for AV data within the Fibre Channel transmission words
