[itu-sg16] 2nd ITU IPTV Interop Showcasing Event (Singapore, 27 Sep 2010)
by simao.campos＠itu.int 13 Sep '10

13 Sep '10

Dear all For your information. Best regards, Simao _____________________________________________ 2nd ITU IPTV Interop Showcasing Event, Singapore: 27 September 2010 I would like to invite you to the ITU IPTV Interop Showcasing Event in Singapore on Monday 27 September 2010. The Event is part of our 2nd ITU Interop Event on IPTV which will take place in the Fusionopolis R&D Complex in Singapore 23, 24 and 27 September 2010, in collaboration with the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) and the Institute of Infocomm Research (I²R). The first two days of the event - 23 and 24 September - will be a closed Conformance and Interoperability Testing Event, followed by the public Showcasing Event on 27 September. IPTV is a major business opportunity for a wide variety of stakeholders - regulators, broadcasters, telecom companies, contents providers, system integrators, test laboratories, artists, universities, and others. The ITU Interop events on IPTV seek to address issues of conformance to ITU IPTV standards and interoperability of products. ITU IPTV standards are the result of detailed international discussions which have included many developing countries. These talks take into account various aspects of technologies, including Intellectual Property Rights, maturity, stability and market adoption, leading to standards that provide for high quality and low cost. Since ITU IPTV standards are based on mature technologies, decided by consensus, interoperability is easier to achieve among different vendors. The 1st ITU Interop event on IPTV took place in the ITU headquarters in Geneva on 20-23 July 2010. It showed that ITU IPTV standards are ready to go and already being implemented. Many companies are now selling TV and set-top box products based on ITU IPTV Terminal Standard ITU-T H.721, with products available in Brazil, China, Japan, Republic of Korea, France, and elsewhere. Services based on ITU IPTV standards are deployed and boast several million subscribers in China and Japan. In Singapore, a test service is currently being conducted. The 2nd ITU Interop in Singapore builds on the success of the 1st ITU Interop in Geneva. We will have a broader number of participants and visitors with particular emphasis on IPTV in Asia. Those organizations which participated in the 1st ITU IPTV Interop Event in Geneva, Switzerland in July 2010 - NTT, NEC, Sumitomo, OKI Electric, Mitsubishi Electric, and TVStorm - plan to participate, as well as several new organizations from Singapore and Republic of Korea. The Showcasing Event will demonstrate to the market the state of maturity and industry adoption of ITU IPTV standards, including: ITU-T H.701 (error-recovery), ITU-T H.721 (IPTV terminal), ITU-T H.740 (audience measurement), ITU-T H.750 (metadata), ITU-T H.761 (Ginga-NCL), ITU-T H.762 (LIME: interactive multimedia), and ITU-T H.770 (service discovery). The Event is free to visitors - ITU members and non members. More information can be found at: www.itu.int/interop <http://www.itu.int/interop> . For this occasion of the 2nd ITU Interop, ITU would like to invite you to attend and see the interoperability of IPTV products in action. ITU will prepare a schedule of private one-on-one showcasing appointments for you. So please contact us now at interop(a)itu.int <mailto:interop@itu.int> to secure your viewing. If you have any questions, please contact us at: interop(a)itu.int <mailto:interop@itu.int> . Yours sincerely, Malcolm Johnson Director Telecommunication Standardization Bureau

[itu-sg16] WP2 rapporteur meeting
by Noah Luo 04 Aug '10

04 Aug '10

Dear WP2 experts With SG16 chair, Mr.Naito's approval, WP2 has now formally decided upon the time and place for the next WP2 rapporteur meeting. Unfortunately,due to difficulties(mainly practical reasons like meeting dates conflicts and lack of common availability of SG9 and SG16 experts in time) to secure a collocated meeting with SG9 management, this meeting will be a standalone WP2 meeting. The date will be: 29th November - 3rd December 2010. Thanks to Paul's great efforts and CISCO's generous support, our meeting will be held at RTP(Research Triangle Park ) in North Carolina,USA. Detailed information about this meeting will be provided later on. For delegates from some countries, getting a US visa will take considerable time, so we kindly suggest that experts who are interested in this meeting from these certain countries, contact Mr.Paul Jones as soon as possible if US embassy or consulate in your country requires a letter of invitation for visa application. Also, we got some good advices from our experts that the flights in the US won't be very easy to book for a few days following the thanksgiving holiday week, so it may be a wise action to book your flights as early as possible. Best Regards Noah Luo

Re: [itu-sg16] TR: [WP3Aud] FW: Question on G.726
by yusuke hiwasaki 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

Dear Mr. Yamamoto, Thank you for reporting your findings on G.726. As an Associate Rapporteur of Q10/16 and Editor of G.191 (STL), I would like to give some feedbacks on this report. Please accept my apologies for this slow response. Firstly, to give you some idea on the narrow-band codecs available in G.7xx series, those codecs usually expects band-pass filtered signal between 300 and 3400 Hz, and are characterized using speech signal (and perhaps modem signal) that lies within that frequency range. This means that extremely low frequency input signal such as 1 and 2 Hz is not expected. For the case of G.726, there is a backward adaptive predictor. I do not have your signal and might be wrong in saying this, but my assumption is that feeding a low-frquency signal puts the codec state in an extreme divergence that results in large amplitude impulses as you report. My suggestion for this would be to have either a band- or high-pass filter that eliminates signal below 300 Hz before the encoding block. An example implementation of such filter is also available in STL. I would be happy to answer any further questions, but I think it is appropriate to discuss it at WP3 audio reflector (wp3audio(a)yahoogroups.com) Best regards, yusuke -- ============ Yusuke Hiwasaki, NTT Cyber Space Labs. hiwasaki.yusuke(a)lab.ntt.co.jp Tel: +81-422-59-4815 (Fax: +81-422-60-7811) BEGIN --- 8< --- CUT HERE --- 8< --- From: itu-sg16-bounces(a)lists.packetizer.com [mailto:itu-sg16-bounces@ lists.packetizer.com] On Behalf Of Yamamoto, Tetsuya Sent: Friday, 16 July 2010 8:46 To: itu-sg16(a)lists.packetizer.com Subject: [itu-sg16] Question on G.726 Dear Q10/16 Experts, Sorry to bother you. We have found unexpected results when using G.726. When particular waveform audio data are input to G.726 encoder, the decoded data from G.726 decoder include large amplitude impulses. We can reproduce the same phenomena at any of 16, 24, 32 or 40kbps bitrate when we put sine wave signal with very low frequency such as 1Hz or 2Hz into G.726 codec. Our codec module is generated from the C source code provided by G.191 software tools as is and the all test sequences provided by G.726 Appendix II are passed with this module. It would be appreciated if anyone could give me some suggestions regarding this matter. Thanks and best regards, Tetsuya Yamamoto Sony Corporation END --- 8< --- CUT HERE --- 8< ---

Dear Mr.Schwarz, Thank you for your quick response. The reference C source code outputs encoded data without packing. I don't think this issue is caused by encapsulation procedure.

Juli 2010 08:46 To: itu-sg16(a)lists.packetizer.com Subject: [itu-sg16] Question on G.726 Dear Q10/16 Experts, Sorry to bother you. We have found unexpected results when using G.726. When particular waveform audio data are input to G.726 encoder, the decoded data from G.726 decoder include large amplitude impulses. We can reproduce the same phenomena at any of 16, 24, 32 or 40kbps bitrate when we put sine wave signal with very low frequency such as 1Hz or 2Hz into G.726 codec. Our codec module is generated from the C source code provided by G.191 software tools as is and the all test sequences provided by G.726 Appendix II are passed with this module. It would be appreciated if anyone could give me some suggestions regarding this matter. Thanks and best regards, Tetsuya Yamamoto Sony Corporation

Moderator: K.Tanikawa (on behalf of Mr.Kawamori) Attendee: Teck Kiong Lee, Raf?(India delegate), Simao Campos, Kazunori Tanikawa Contributions: - HTSP.IPTV-ISPF: Editorial modifications (Singapore) Proposal was accepted. Editors hope to complete and have approval this document at SG16 plenary on July 30. - H.770 Amd.2: Oppen Issues (NEC) Main proposers of TR-069 items, both Brazil and Huawei, were absent from the e-meeting; therefore, just review remaining issues of H.770. It is necessary to consult with them during next IPTV-GSI. - H.IPTV-CONF.7: Updated document (NEC) Review new modifications and additions to H.CONF.7. Proposal is accepted. - H.IPTV-CONF.6: H.762 conformance sample test for the New Draft Recommendation H.IPTV-CONF.6(NTT) Contributor has not made in time; therefore, moderator presented briefly. There seemed to be no objection; however, it is good thing to present this contribution at next Q13/16 rappoture meeting. -- ------- ここまでが転送メッセージ -------

[itu-sg16] Update of NID draft recommendations
by Yoshinori Goto 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Dear Q21 and 22 experts, At the Shanghai meeting, March 2010, we agreed to update the draft text of H.IDscheme and H.IRP in such a way that two recommendations adopt ucode and DNS based protocol. Based on this agreement, the editors are requested to prepare updated draft text and distribute them on the e-mail reflector. Considering that two draft recommendations are planned to be consented at the next SG16 meeting (July 2010) and that the degree of change on two drafts will be significant, earlier distribution of updated draft for review of other experts is a critical procedure for these documents. So, I would like to ask the editors of H.IDscheme and H.IRP, Mr. Lee and Prof. Koshizuka, to distribute the update draft as soon as possible and collect comments from other experts, particularly Mr. Olivier. Best regards, -- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Yoshinori Goto NTT Access Network Service Systems Labs.

[itu-sg16] SVC Adhoc Group
by stephen botzko 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

As the chair of the Q1 SVC Adhoc Group, I have meet informally with several folks, including Vidyo and Tandberg. Since the IETF SVC draft is now moving into the RFC editor's queue, it is an appropriate time to start working on ITU-T signaling. There is general consensus that H.32x systems should support the SST mode of SVC that is specified in the current IETF draft. Although Radvision suggested last year that the MST mode also would be required, there seems to be little support for that requirement. The MST mode is intended for multicast, and is considerably more complex than SST. There is language in H.323 (Annex B) on the use of layered codecs. This text seems more applicable to MST than SST, since SST is sent as a single RTP session. Some normative statements (for instance the way timestamps of the various layers are coordinated) appears to be incompatible with the IETF SVC draft. We also note that there is an analogous RFC in the IETF which also defines the use of layered codecs. This signaling was not employed in the SVC draft. Athough the Annex B text should be reviewed more carefully, there is general consensus that simple interworking through H.32x<->SIP gateways and in multi-protocol conference bridges is more important than continuing the use of the existing Annex B procedures. There is also general consensus that attempting to precisely define the various combinations of layers that a receiver is capable of receiving is very complex, and should not be attempted in the signaling.Polycom at least sees the value in being able to actively negotiate which layers are being sent, in a way that is compatible with the current IETF draft. As chair, I believe that most others also support this view. Certainly no one has objected to including this capability. One way this could be accomplished in H.241, is to combine a simple SVC profile capability with a layer negotiation procedure that would be analogous to the set submode procedures. Please do respond (either to this list or to me personally) on this topic, especially if you have a different view on the topics above, or if you see additional requirements that are not included. I am not planning to hold an audio conference call at this time, but if people see a need for this I will schedule one. Stephen Botzko Polycom
