This document specifies the mapping of VC-2 coded pictures into MXF. Specifically, it defines how to map a VC-2 stream (or part of a stream) into a Picture Element of a MXF generic container.

This standard specifies the Key, Length and Value fields of a VC-2 Picture Element. This standard also defines the Essence Container Label and Picture Essence Compression Label, a VC-2 Sub-Descriptor and the mapping of information from the VC-2 stream to the CDCI Picture Essence Descriptor.
