Liasons

MPEGIF has liaisons with:

The Moving Pictures Experts Group (MPEG) - the group that sets MPEG Standards. Obvisouly, MPEGIF is in close contact with MPEG, exchanging information on the development of new MPEG-4 technology and on market needs perceived by MPEGIF.

The Internet Streaming Media Alliance (ISMA) - the group that creates vertical specifications for interoperable Internet streaming, based on the MPEG-4 standard. While MPEGIF addresses MPEG-4 in a horizontal sense (all of MPEG-4's technology and in all applications ) and ISMA is a vertical organization (one single aplication and also addressing non-MPEG-4 things like transport), the two organizations collaborate where we overlap.

The International Multimedia Telecommunications Consortium (IMTC) - is an international community of companies working together to facilitate the availability of real-time, rich-media communications between people in multiple locations around the world. IMTC and MPEGIF engage in joint interop tests and share interests in e.g. the timely availability of resonable licenses for MPEG-4 technology.

Related Organizations are:

The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) - The group that develops specifications for a 3rd Generation Mobile System and maintains and further develops Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) Specifications. MPEGIF engages in cross-interop testing with 3GPP.
