2. multimedia information bit



Is set if: For the current root-element multimedia information exist, which may differ from the inherited multimedia information. The multimedia information from a root-element will be inherited by a contained root-element, when the contained root-element does not define itself (any) different multimedia information.


Effect if set: The current root-element specifies own multimedia information (see section 21.2.3 on page [*]).


If not set: The multimedia information are the same as the inherited multimedia information.

In the top most root-element (respectively a root-element that exists in no other root-element), the bit must always be set, and thus the multimedia information have to be present.


Effect if not set: There are no multimedia information given in the current root-element. The valid multimedia information for the root-element are inherited from the root-element in which it is contained.
