Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
ISO 26429-7 was prepared by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (as
SMPTE 429-7-2006) and was adopted, under a special “fast-track procedure”, by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 36, Cinematography, in parallel with its approval by the ISO member bodies.
ISO 26429 consists of the following parts, under the general title Digital cinema (D-cinema) packaging:
⎯ Part 3: Sound and picture track file
⎯ Part 4: MXF JPEG 2000 application
⎯ Part 6: MXF track file essence encryption
⎯ Part 7: Composition playlist

Introduction
This International Standard comprises SMPTE 429-7-2006 and the following informative notes.
⎯ Table 2 (Content Kind): Business arrangements by national practice determine what is inclusive in the
definition of a “feature”.
⎯ Table 4 (Standard Marker Labels): An additional marker called “First Frame Lights On” (FFLO), which
could be used by the production company to indicate an appropriate position within the end credits to turn
on the lights, is optionally available and has been proposed for incorporation into SMPTE 429-7.

Foreword
SMPTE (the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) is an internationally-recognized standards
developing organization. Headquartered and incorporated in the United States of America, SMPTE has
members in over 80 countries on six continents. SMPTE’s Engineering Documents, including Standards,
Recommended Practices and Engineering Guidelines, are prepared by SMPTE’s Technology Committees.
Participation in these Committees is open to all with a bona fide interest in their work. SMPTE cooperates
closely with other standards-developing organizations, including ISO, IEC and ITU.

SMPTE Engineering Documents are drafted in accordance with the rules given in Part XIII of its
Administrative practices.
Proposed SMPTE Standard 429-7 was prepared by Technology Committee DC28.

1 Scope
This document specifies the Composition Playlist structure. The Composition Playlist is a self-contained
representation of a single complete D-Cinema work, such as a motion picture, or a trailer, or an
advertisement, etc. The Composition Playlist consists of an ordered sequence of Reel structures, each
referencing a set of external Track Files, e.g. a sound or picture Track File, which are meant to be reproduced
in parallel. Each Reel is analogous to a film reel and the Composition Playlist controls the order and timing of
the playout of the Reels.
