Accessibility descriptor

If the adaptation set provides for enhanced accessibility, the AdaptationSet may include an accessibility descriptor that describes the type of accessible audio service being provided. The required attribute schemeIdUri must be set to urn:tva:metadata:cs:AudioPurposeCS:2007, as defined in section B.1 of ETSI TS 102 822-3-1 v1.4.1, signaling the namespace for the accessibility descriptor.

The audio purpose classification scheme (AudioPurposeCS), which is used to describe the type of accessible audio service that is being delivered, is defined in section A.15 of ETSI TS 102 822-3-1 v1.4.1. The value of the termID attribute must be set to match the type of accessible audio service carried in the Dolby Digital Plus bitstream, which is indicated by the value of the bsmod parameter in independent substream 0 of the Dolby Digital Plus stream, or in the EC3SpecificBox of the Dolby Digital Plus audio track. The corresponding values of the termID attribute and bsmod parameter are listed in the table.
