This standard defines the MDP Basic Target Pull Profile. This specifies a subset of the MDP protocol defined in SMPTE 2032-1, in which the name and size of all files is known to the initiating agent before the transaction is initiated, the target agent initiates the file transfers, and all transfers use a pull-mode protocol.
The standard specifies the sequence of messages that shall or may be used in a transaction, how certain properties shall be set in the manifest document, how the file transfers shall be initiated, and which transfer protocols an agent shall support.
