The document summarizes key aspects of the WiFi Display standard for wirelessly streaming audio and video content between devices. It describes the protocol methods, architectural view, supported media types, encapsulation of media in transport packets, and parameters for compression, frame skipping, and error recovery. The standard uses UDP and RTP to transport encoded H264 video, audio in various formats, and associated metadata in MPEG-2 transport stream packets between devices for wireless display functionality.

5. Media
 The Media Types supported by WFD:
 H264
 MPEG2 AAC
 Dolby AC3
 LPCM (uncompressed audio)

6. MP2TS packetization in WFD
 WFD carries media (H264, AAC) in MP2TS packets
 7 MP2TS are carried in a single RTP packet
 RTP TS is derived from MP2TS and sent according to
WLAN sync

7. Media Encapsulation
 Encapsulation of H264V into NAL/PES/MP2TS/RTP
7

8. Media Transport Stack
 Encoded audio/video streams are carried in MPEG2 Transport stream
 The MP2TS packets are carried in RTP packets

9. H264 Profiles
 WFD supports two H264 profiles:
 Constraint Base Profile
 Base profile without FMO, ASO
 Constraint High Profile
 High profile without CABAC, 4x4

10. PAT & PMT
 PAT Should indicate PMT PID 0x100
 PMT Should indicate PCR PID at 0x1000
 PMT Should indicate video PID at 0x1011
 PMT Should indicate Audio PID at 0x1100 (additional audio
streams PID are consecutive)
 The above tables (PCR,PAT/PMT…)should be sent at
intervals smaller than 100mS

12. Compression parameters changes
 Parameter compression change can follow changes in:
 Device usage (Game, Video)
 Power (low battery)
 WLAN bandwidth changes
 When changing compression parameters Source could:
 Change parameters without announcement
 Declare parameter changes using M4 RTSP request message
12

13. Frame Skipping
 WFD Frame skipping refers to removal of ALREADY
encoded video frames
 Skipping is done AFTER the encoder
 Frame number in slice header are sequential even when
frames are skipped -> requires stream changing after
encoder
 The maximum skip interval is defined in bits B1:B3 of the
wfd-video-formats parameters in M3 response
 Frame skipping allowed only on non-referenced streams
->Skipping complete GOPs
 Not recommended

14. Frame Refresh / Recovery
 In case of video streams errors (duo to packet loss), the
decoder may detect those errors
 The Sink may decide that the errors are request a frame
refresh (IDR Frame)
 Request is done using the SET_PARAMETERS message
with wfd_idr_request param
