Abstract
MPEG Media Transport (MMT) is a next-generation media transport standard developed as a part of ISO/IEC 23008. The MMT standard specifies technologies for the delivery of coded media data for multimedia services over concatenated heterogeneous packet-based networks including bidirectional IP networks and unidirectional digital broadcasting networks. It supports hybrid delivery and multipath delivery with intermedia synchronization. MMT also supports Application Layer Forward Error Correction (AL-FEC) codes for reliable delivery in IP network environments. In this article, we introduce an overview of the MMT standard and its following applications to broadcast and broadband areas: ① a next-generation 4K/8K broadcasting service, ② ultrarealistic communication, and ③ a low-delay multicast video streaming service.
