1. Bitstream features overview

An AV1 bitstream is composed of a sequence of OBUs, grouped into Temporal Units.

OBUs are made of a 1 or 2 bytes header, identifying in particular the type of OBU, followed by an optional length field and by an optional payload, whose presence and content depend on the OBU type. Depending on its type, an OBU can carry configuration information, metadata, or coded video data.

-

NOTE: Tile List OBUs defined in the [AV1] specification are not supported in the current version of this specification. A future version of the specification may do so.

+

NOTE: Tile List OBUs defined in the [AV1] specification are not supported in the current version of this specification. A future version of the specification may do so.

Temporal Units are processed by a decoder in the order given by the bitstream. Each Temporal Unit is associated with a presentation time. Some Temporal Units may contain multiple frames to be decoded but only one is presented.

NOTE: The AV1 specification defines scalability features, allowing frames from multiple layers or operating points to be present in a single temporal unit. This version of storage in ISOBMFF supports the simple storage of scalable streams in a single track, but does not specify advanced tools for handling multi-track support, layer extraction, or other scalability related use cases. A future version of the specification may do so.

Frames carried in Temporal Units may have coding dependencies on frames carried previously in the same Temporal Unit or in previous Temporal Units. Frames that can be decoded without dependencies to previous frames are of two categories: Key Frames and Intra-only Frames. Frames that cannot be decoded independently are of three categories: Inter Frames, Switch Frames, and frames with a show_existing_frame flag set to 1.

-

Key Frames with the show_frame flag set to 1 have the additional property that after decoding the Key Frame, all frames following the Key Frame in the bitstream can be decoded. They are called Random Access Points in [AV1].

+

Key Frames with the show_frame flag set to 1 have the additional property that after decoding the Key Frame, all frames following the Key Frame in the bitstream can be decoded. They are called Random Access Points in [AV1].

Key Frames with the show_frame flag set to 0 are called Delayed Random Access Points. Delayed Random Access Points have the additional property that if a future Key Frame Dependent Recovery Point exists, all frames following that Key Frame Dependent Recovery Point can be decoded. A Key Frame Dependent Recovery Point is a frame with show_existing_frame set to 1 that refers to a previous Delayed Random Access Points.
