### A.4.7 MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 High Profile / Level 4.2 Video Compression

The International Standards Organization ISO/IEC MPEG4 has developed an International Standard, [ISO/IEC 14496-10] (MPEG-4 Part 10), for the video compression of generic coding of moving pictures and associated audio information. This standard is jointly maintained and has identical technical content as the ITU-T H.264 standard.

A DICOM Transfer Syntax MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 High Profile / Level 4.2 for 2D Video Compression shall be identified by a UID value of:

- 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.104 corresponding to the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 High Profile / Level 4.2 of the ITU-T H.264 Video standard with the restriction that frame packing for stereoscopic 3D content shall not be used as defined in Table 8-8.

A DICOM Transfer Syntax MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 High Profile / Level 4.2 for 3D Video Compression shall be identified by a UID value of:

- 1.2.840.10008.1.2.4.105 corresponding to the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 High Profile / Level 4.2 of the ITU-T H.264 Video standard. It should be used for transmitting stereoscopic 3D content with frame packing formats as defined in Table 8-8.
