ATSC Liaison

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-tt/2015Aug/0002.html

nigel: We received this liaison from ATSC. Would anyone like to take us through it?

mike: ATSC is heading down the path of using IMSC 1 for its next generation TV. A member
... has proposed support for extensions for colorGamut and 3D disparity.
... disparity is already in TTML2, but there's nothing I'm aware of on HDR or wide color gamut
... in this group. The proposal is to get us to think about it more than anything else.
... There are 2 specific proposals for pulling those features into IMSC 1.
... There was a lively discussion on the reflector about color gamut and what it might be useful
... for. I think that's down to, not so much that an author would want to use a wide color gamut,
... but that it would help implementations if the text signalled colors in a wide color gamut.
... That was more to get W3C TTWG thinking about the issue, which was successful based on
... the email exchange. The rest is to do with logistics of timing and in what form the requests
... might appear in the future.

nigel: I had a conversation with Thierry and Pierre about the logistics side. Pierre and I
... concluded that the best thing for IMSC right now given the process state that its in is to
... keep it closed to new features, but to add them into the scope of TTML2 and IMSC 2.

mike: Any thoughts on the schedule for all this work?

nigel: It's clear that we're already behind relative to our intended timescale on TTML2. If we
... want to speed things up then we need more input from members other than Glenn. IMSC 2
... is planned for as soon as possible after TTML2. I wouldn't be surprised given the current
... state if that falls into 2016, it's hard to say exactly when.

mike: With my TTWG hat on, I agree that not delaying IMSC 1 is the right answer, though it
... isn't necessarily what ATSC wants to hear. What's the timescale for publishing IMSC 1?

nigel: That's entirely dependent on implementation work on IMSC 1. We can't move on until
... we have met the exit criteria for the CR, which requires implementation work.

mike: It sounds as though we need some feedback from pierre on that.

nigel: Yes, he's got the best view right now.

mike: We possibly need dave to come in on the colour mapping question.

nigel: It's not clear to me that there's any specification work missing that we should take on.
... I have the impression that the colour spaces are all well defined and the semantic in TTML
... is also clear.

mike: We may need some additional metadata to indicate where the sRGB 8 bits live in the
... 12 bit value space.

nigel: I'd like to see a proposal for that on the email reflector - I'm a little sceptical right now.

mike: Yes, I'll continue the email thread. I'm also happy to start preparing a liaison response for
... the liaison, to be sent back to ATSC.

nigel: Pierre also volunteered to assist with that so between you two we should be able to get
... something together. The key points are that we won't include the features in IMSC 1 but
... will consider them for IMSC 2. For the color gamut question we need to have more discussion
... and conclude on the issue before we respond.

HTMLCue Proposal

Courtney: I talked to the webkit team and they said they have no plans to add support for
... anything but WebVTT.

atai: There's nothing more from me on this - we just need to think how to proceed.
... Nigel made a proposal to make it more concrete as to what we should propose. We need
... to decide if we need to include that.

nigel: That's right. I had a think about this and a look at the dash.js work, and the simple
... approach is simply to replace the html content of a target div element. That would be my
... baseline proposal, since it appears to work.

atai: I wonder if we could get stuck in detail if we discuss this.
... Getting a general feeling about if people are willing to implement this is more important.

<mike> I need to get to another meeting. thanks for the time on the ATSC liaison. hear you next week.

<tmichel> http://www.w3.org/2001/11/StdLiaison#main

nigel: Looking back at last week's minutes, there were 3 actions, Courtney's, mine and Thierry was going to check about WHATWG.

tmichel: There's actually no liaison with WHATWG, so I contacted Michael Smith of the HTML WG
... to discuss how we might contact WHATWG. He suggested the best way might be to post
... to the public email address on this issue:

<tmichel> whatwg@whatwg.org

<tmichel> public mailing list for the WHATWG.

tmichel: And he said that if we needed he could also help. He's not the formal liaison guy but
... he knows those guys and has been working with WHATWG for many years.

atai: I can do that, but it would be on my own - it would be better from TTWG.

tmichel: I agree it would be better to send it on behalf of TTWG to add leverage.

nigel: Okay, I'm happy to do that then as chair.
... The draft text we have now is: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-tt/2015Aug/0009.html
... Just rereading that, imagining WHATWG receiving it, I guess it looks okay. I assume they
... know what TPAC is.

<tmichel> The people from who I would think you’d want to get most feedback on this

<tmichel> particular proposal are Philip Jägenstedt (Opera/Blink), Silvia Pfeiffer,

<tmichel> and Eric Carlson & Jer Noble (from Apple).

<tmichel> >

nigel: I'm happy to take an action to edit the draft and share with those people for initial
... input prior to posting to the public WHATWG list.

<tmichel> IanHickson right would not be the most productive, especially since at the

<tmichel> moment, he’s working on other things that don’t have much to to with the

<tmichel> HTML spec.
