Effective usage of MMT in broadcasting systems

The environment surrounding content delivery has significantly changed since the early 1990s when today's broadcasting systems were developed; content, client terminals, and delivery networks have diversified. To respond effectively to this increasing diversity, new media transport technologies are required to maximize the benefits of heterogeneous networks such as broadcast and broadband networks. This paper presents a functional comparison of MPEG Media Transport (MMT), being developed in MPEG, with MPEG-2 TS and RTP of conventional broadcasting systems. This comparison shows that MMT is the most effective media transport method for next-generation broadcasting systems. We also consider how to implement MMT in broadcasting systems. This study shows that a TLV multiplexing scheme in broadcasting systems is the most efficient way to carry IP packets containing MMT packets.
