Introduction
Interpretation of the core content of the standard
As an important part of the IPTV media delivery system series of standards, GB/T38754-2020 systematically standardizes the technical requirements for streaming media services. The standard mainly includes four major technical modules:
- Classification of streaming media service types (live/on-demand/time-shifted/download)
- Content coding and file format specifications
- Functional requirements of media delivery systems
- Terminal interface protocol system
Technical specifications of streaming media service types
| Service type | Technical features | Applicable terminals | QoS requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Live streaming service | Real-time streaming transmission, users have no playback control, support for inserted content | IPTV/PC/mobile terminal | Multicast delay < 2s |
| On-demand service | Support pause/fast forward/positioned playback, content pre-storage required | IPTV/PC/mobile terminal | First frame response <1.5s |
| Time-shift service | Support live playback, storage duration is configurable (default 72 hours) | IPTV/mobile terminal | Switching delay <3s |
| Download service | HTTP protocol transmission, support DRM protection | PC/mobile terminal | Bandwidth utilization ≥85% |
Typical application scenarios
When a provincial IPTV platform uses the Huawei MediaX system to implement time-shift services, the standard requirements are as follows:
- Configure edge nodes to store 72 hours of live content
- Implement NPT timestamp alignment (error <50ms)
- Support fast forward/fast rewind operation response time <800ms
Key technical indicators of encoding format
Video encoding requirements
- Required support: H.264/AVC Main Profile@L3
- Recommended support: H.265/HEVC Main10@L4
- Adaptive streaming services must meet the following requirements:
Multi-bitrate TS fragment time alignment error ≤±5ms
Audio Coding Requirements
- Basic Configuration: AAC-LC@48kHz
- Extended Support: Dolby AC-3 5.1 Channels
Key Points for System Function Implementation
Anti-hotlink Mechanism
The standard requires the use of AES encrypted URL signature scheme:
rtsp://server/ContentID?AuthInfo=xxxxxx
The key update cycle is recommended to be ≤7 days, and the signature validity period is ≤30 minutes
Bandwidth Control Policy
- Concurrent Connection Limit for a Single Node: ≤50,000
- Intelligent Bitrate Switching Threshold: Bitrate Reduction Triggered When Network Jitter is >15%
Interface Protocol Comparison Analysis
| Protocol Type | Applicable Scenarios | Typical Latency | Header Overhead |
|---|---|---|---|
| RTSP | IPTV Terminal On-Demand | 1.2-2s | 12-20 bytes |
| HLS | Mobile Terminal Live Broadcast | 3-5s | 8-15 bytes |
| HTTP-FLV | PC Terminal Live Broadcast | 1.5-3s | 5-10 bytes |
Protocol selection recommendations
When using ZTE Video Platform to build services:
- HLS protocol is preferred for 4K ultra-high-definition content
- RTSP+TS encapsulation is recommended for time-shifted services
- HTTP-FLV can be used for low-latency live broadcast scenarios
Standard evolution and implementation recommendations
Technology development trends
- AV1 coding format compatibility extension
- Low-latency HLS (LL-HLS) support
- AI-based intelligent bitrate adaptation
Deployment considerations
- Edge node storage configuration: time-shifted content ≥ 72 hours
- Anti-hotlink keys require hardware encryption module protection
- HLS segment duration is recommended to be 4-6 seconds
