ISO/IEC 23000-11:2009 specifies a file format which is capable of storage, interchange, management, editing, and presentation of stereoscopic video contents based on the ISO base media file format.

ISO/IEC 23000-11:2009 specifies the following:

• the file type brand for stereoscopic video contents;


• four stereoscopic video contents composition types, which are widely used and suitable for the 3D mobile display;


• the file structure, which is capable of storage with a single video track or two video tracks for stereoscopic contents;


• the stereoscopic video media information, which includes the visual type information of signaling stereoscopic content composition types, and the stereo_mono_change information for the identification of each fragment in stereo-monoscopic mixed contents;


• the stereoscopic camera and display information, which provides camera, display and visual safety information for stereoscopic contents;


• the track reference type, which tells the track of indicating primary and secondary view sequences in case of using two video tracks for stereoscopic contents;


• the item location, which provides a location of stereoscopic fragments in stereoscopic video contents.

ISO/IEC 23000-11:2009 provides the overall structure for storing pure stereoscopic video contents and also stereo-monoscopic mixed contents with the stereoscopic-related information in mobile environments.
