Hi
 
So if I understand the H.264 part correctly the H.264 level-id parameter
will provide with a upper limit to the maximum image size regardless of
what is specified by imageattr, maxFS does infact specify something that
relates to imageattr so here there may be a conflict.
 
I believe that it makes sense to let "level-id in H.264" and "H.263 max
resolution" be the limiting factor for imageattr as it will otherwise be
too complex to incorporate hardware awareness into the attribute. 
Under normal circumstances the offer will not specify an imageattr that
goes beyond e.g the level-id but such cases may occur if one for
instance specify the attribute in the SDPMedCapNeg framework.
 
As regards to H.261 I don't see the conflict here, sorry, but it is
possible that I need to be enlightened here.
 
If one consider a H.261 offer
==============
m=video 49170/2 RTP/AVP 31

a=rtpmap:31 H261/90000

a=fmtp:31 CIF=2;QCIF=1;D=1

a=imageattr:31 [x=[128:16:352],y=[96:16:288],par=[1.1 1.3]]

==============

My take is that the framerate will be limited to MPI=2 between the QCIF
and the CIF resolution, at or below QCIF the framerate is limited to
MPI=1.

	Ingemar,

	ForH.264 the level parameter defines the maximum FS (frame size)
in macro blocks. The image can not be bigger than that since it specify
the maximum display buffer on the receiver. There is a parameter that
overrides it maxFS that allows the receiver to say that he can support
larger picture but then the level parameter maxmbps (max macro blocks
per second) will limit the frame rate. So For h.264 you cannot give
picture size bigger then level or maxFS

	 

	For H.263 you either specify maximum resolution using the
parameters in RFC 4629 or the level in table X.2 in H.263.

	Text from H.263

	Custom picture formats can have a custom pixel aspect ratio as
described in Table 3, if the custom pixel aspect ratio use is first
negotiated by external means. Custom picture formats can have any number
of lines and any number of pixels per line, provided that the number of
lines is divisible by four and is in the range [4, ... , 1152], and
provided that the number of pixels per line is also divisible by four
and is in the range [4, ... , 2048]. For picture formats having a width
or height that is not divisible by 16, the picture is decoded in the
same manner as if the width or height had the next larger size that
would be divisible by 16 and then the picture is cropped at the right
and the bottom to the proper width and height for display purposes only.

	Table 3/H.263 - Custom pixel aspect ratios

Pixel aspect ratio

Pixel width:Pixel height

Square

1:1

CIF

12:11

525-type for 4:3 picture

10:11

CIF for 16:9 picture

16:11

525-type for 16:9 picture

40:33

Extended PAR

m:n, m and n are relatively prime

	All decoders and encoders shall be able to operate using the CIF
picture clock frequency. Some decoders and encoders may also support
custom picture clock frequencies. All decoders shall be able to operate
using the sub-QCIF picture format. All decoders shall also be able to
operate using the QCIF picture format. Some decoders may also operate
with CIF, 4CIF or 16CIF, or custom picture formats. Encoders shall be
able to operate with one of the picture formats sub-QCIF and QCIF. The
encoders determine which of these two formats are used, and are not
obliged to be able to operate with both. Some encoders can also operate
with CIF, 4CIF, 16CIF, or custom picture formats.

	 

	 

	For H.261  there is no support for arbitrary picture size (CIF
is the largest) see RFC 4587

	So in the general case there should be a way to reject the
request and maybe give the supported resolution, still it will be wrong
to use this attribute for H.261

	Hi

	 

	If I understand your email correctly we will, with the
constructed SDP's below, have the potential issue that imageattr may
offer combinations (x and y resoluions) that are not allowed for a given
profile level ID. The solution I see is that the profile levels provides
with an upper (maybe also a lower?) limit.

	 

	For instance if we have some (really wierd) imageattr like

	a=imageattr:97 [x=[128:16:1920], y=[96:16:1280],par=[1.1 1.3]]

	and the profile levels only supports a resolution up to 352x288
, the latter limitation will apply which means that the imageattr should
infact be interpreted as

	a=imageattr:97 [x=[128:16:352], y=[96:16:288],par=[1.1 1.3]]

	 

	This is not written anywhere in the draft and I don't right now
know if this will hold in the general case, please comment.

	 

	/Ingemar

		Thank you Mr. Even Roni for the information. 

		 

		 We would like to ask experts in MMUSIC and AVT to pay a
special interest to the relationship

		between imageattr and config/sprop-parameter-set. How to
stack the set of information in the SDP offer

		will influence the session setup.

		 

		For example, suppose imageattr specifies image sizes
over multiple levels. The following form might be necessary.

		 m=video 49154 RTP/AVPF 99

		b=AS:48

		b=RS:0

		b=RR:2500

		a=rtpmap:99 MP4V-ES/90000

		a=imageattr:99 [x=x1,y=y1] [x=x2,y=y2] [x=x3,y=y3]

		a=fmtp:99 profile-level-id=a; \

		   config=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_1 

		a=fmtp:99 profile-level-id=b; \

		   config=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_2 

		a=fmtp:99 profile-level-id=c; \

		   config=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_3 

		 

		In case imageattr specifies image sizes within a single
level.

		a=imageattr:99 [x=x1,y=y1] [x=x2,y=y2] [x=x3,y=y3]

		a=fmtp:99 profile-level-id=8

		a=fmtp:99
config=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_1

		a=fmtp:99
config=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_2

		a=fmtp:99
config=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_3

		 

		The above forms are only basic possibilities and more
systematic design and suggestion are 

		requested from MMUSIC and AVT experts.

		 

		Have a nice meeting at Dublin!

		Kyunghun Jung

for RFC 3984bis
		
		Hi, 
		First of all, ITU-T documents in pdf format are free at 
		http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC/e 
		
		As for custom format inH.263. RFC 4629 section 8.1.1 had
the custom 
		resolution, no relation to specific level. 
		
		CUSTOM: Specifies the MPI (Minimum Picture Interval) for
a 
		      custom-defined resolution.  The custom parameter
receives three 
		      comma-separated values, Xmax, Ymax, and MPI.  The
Xmax and Ymax 
		      parameters describe the number of pixels in the X
and Y axis and 
		      must be evenly divisible by 4.  The permissible
values for MPI are 
		      integer values from 1 to 32, which correspond to a
maximum frame 
		      rate of 30/(1.001 *the specified value). 
		
		Also note the next sentence 
		
		      A system that declares support of a specific MPI
for one of the 
		      resolutions SHALL also implicitly support a lower
resolution with 
		      the same MPI.
