The Musical Slide Show Multimedia Application Format (MAF) which is currently being standardized by the Moving
Picture Expert Group (MPEG) conveys the concept of combining several established standard technologies in a single
file format. It defines the format of packing up MP3 audio data, along with JPEG images, MPEG-7 Simple Profile
metadata, timed text, and MPEG-4 LASeR script. The presentation of Musical Slide Show MAF contents is made in a
synchronized manner with JPEG images, timed text to MP3 audio track. Also, the rendering effect on JPEG images can
be supported by the MPEG-4 LASeR script. This Musical Slide Show MAF will enrich the consumption of MP3
contents assisted with synchronized and rendered JPEG images, text as well as MPEG-7 metadata about the MP3 audio
contents. However, there is no protection and governance mechanism for Musical Slide Show MAF which is the
essential elements to deploy the sorts of contents. In this paper, to manage the Musical Slide Show MAF contents in a
controlled manner, we present a protection and governance mechanism by using MPEG-21 Intellectual Property
Management and Protection (IPMP) Components and MPEG-21 Rights Expression Language (REL) technologies We
implement an authoring tool and a player tool for Musical Slide Show MAF contents and show the experimental results
as well.
MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Groups) is currently standardizing Multimedia Application Format (MAF) which targets to provide simple but practical multimedia applications to the industry. One of the interesting and on-going working items of MAF activity is the so-called Music Player MAF which combines MPEG-1/2 layer III (MP3), JPEG image, and metadata into a standard format. In this paper, we propose a protection and governance mechanism to the Music Player MAF by incorporating other MPEG technology, MPEG-21 IPMP (Intellectual Property Management and Protection). We show, in this paper, use-case of the distribution and consumption of this Music Player contents, requirements, and how this protection and governance can be implemented in conjunction with the current Music Player MAF architecture and file system. With the use of MPEG-21 IPMP, the protection and governance to the content of Music Player MAF fulfils flexibility, extensibility, and granular in protection requirements.
