scope:

This standard defines the haptic-tactile essence associated with a live event that is used together with audiovisual content in the broadcast production environment. This standard excludes any specification of the type of "capture" or sensor device(s) used to generate the haptic-tactile essence.

This standard defines the format and identity of the sensor data received. The responsibility for selecting the sensor data that is transmitted is outside the scope of this standard and is left to other processes.

Finally, this document also excludes the specification of the end user hardware necessary for the use of the haptic-tactile essence.

The transport of haptic-tactile essence is out of the scope of this document but will be addressed in other SMPTE documents.
