Given that the JXS flow register adds to other enums already, I would suggest there is little harm in doing the same for the component name
. This perpetuates the intended flexibility of the structure and doesn't result in duplication.
The closed enum issue ought to be dealt with in IS-04/05. This is clearly going to become a bigger issue in the future and given that we now have an extension mechanism in the parameter registers which we didn't have when the enums were originally created I'd hope this would be simple to specify. The question of whether this requires a version bump will have to go to the group as the bump mechanism is clearly there to help systems which might not have accounted for this and don't handle it gracefully, but as we know a version bump has its own downsides.
ST 2110-20 and RFC 9134 (JPEG XS) define colorimetry values for CLYCbCr (constant luminance YCbCr), and XYZ colorspaces, and key.
IS-04 v1.3 raw video Flow
components
cannot represent these colorspaces, because theenum
forcomponents.name
doesn't include the necessary entries and there isn't an escape via e.g. a string pattern.PR #33 added support for
components
for coded video Flows, e.g. JPEG XS, using the same definition.Should we add
enum
entries to the schema in the Parameter Registers even though this wouldn't solve the problem forvideo/raw
Flows?E.g.
Or should we roll that back and add a
color_sampling
attribute (with values like the same-named parameter constraint in the Capabilities register) instead?FWIW, there are just a few other "closed enums" in IS-04 and IS-05 that we might prefer were open to extension without having to bump the spec version...
In IS-04
ref_type
has fixed options ofinternal
orptp
(does IPMX want to be able to indicate something else?)IEEE1588-2008
(someone might wantIEEE1588-2019
?)channels.symbol
has a fixed list of options (and there are channel groupings that they can't represent - see https://github.com/AMWA-TV/nmos-testing/issues/543)In IS-05
fec_type
has fixed options ofXOR
andReed-Solomon
(sufficient for all time?!)
