This standard specifies the mapping of all HEVC coding data as defined in ISO/IEC 23008-2 | Rec. ITU-T H.265 into the Material Exchange Format Generic Container (MXF-GC) based on the MXF MPEG mapping standard (SMPTE ST 381-2).

This standard does not apply to Annexes G (MHEVC), H (SHEVC) or I (3DHEVC) of the HEVC standard. This standard also does not support the HEIF file format (ISO/IEC 23008-12).

This document specifies the carriage of parameter sets in an HEVC essence stream “in-band”.

The MXF specification is written in several parts. This is an MXF mapping specification that defines header metadata sets and values, essence container elements and index table applications.
