2Brands and MIME type definitions

Files conforming to HEIF start with a FileTypeBox, which contains a list of brands the file complies with. Each brand is identified by its unique four-character code. The specification of a brand can include requirements and constraints for files of the brand and for file players supporting the brand. A brand included in the FileTypeBox permits a player that supports the requirements of the brand to play the file.

符合HEIF的文件以FileTypeBox开始，其中包含文件符合的品牌列表。每个品牌都有其独特的四字编码。品牌的规范可以包括对品牌文件和支持品牌的文件播放器的要求和约束。FileTypeBox中包含的品牌允许支持品牌要求的播放器播放文件。

The brands specified in the HEIF standard are presented in Table I. The HEIF standard specifies the ‘mif1’ and ‘msf1’ structural brands, where requirements on file structures present in the file and to be supported by players, are given, but any image coding format can be used. Additionally, HEVC-specific brands are specified as listed in Table I. Further information on the HEVC-specific brands is provided in Section 5.3. As the File Type box is located at the start of the file, it provides easily accessible indications of the file contents to file players. It can be expected that the Main profile of HEVC will be most widely implemented out of all the HEVC profiles. The dedicated brand names, ‘heic’ and ‘hevc’, for the Main profile compatible image files allows players that support only the Main profile to determine whether the playback of the file is possible by inspecting the FileTypeBox.

HEIF标准中指定的品牌见表一。HEIF标准指定了“mif1”和“msf1”结构品牌，其中对文件结构的要求在文件中存在，并由玩家支持，但可以使用任何图像编码格式。此外，针对hevc品牌的具体规定见表一。关于针对hevc品牌的详细信息见章节5.3。由于文件类型框位于文件的开头，它为文件播放器提供了易于访问的文件内容指示。可以预期，在所有HEVC概要文件中，HEVC的主要概要文件将得到最广泛的实施。“heic”和“hevc”专用的品牌名称，用于主配置文件兼容的图像文件，允许只支持主配置文件的播放器通过检查FileTypeBox来确定是否可以播放文件。

Internet media types, also known as MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) types, are used by various applications to identify the type of a resource or a file. MIME types consist of a media type (‘image’ in the case of HEIF files), a subtype, and zero or more optional parameters. For multi-purpose files, the selection of the subtype can be made on the basis of the primary use of the file.

Internet媒体类型，也称为MIME(多用途Internet邮件扩展)类型，被各种应用程序用于标识资源或文件的类型。MIME类型由一个媒体类型(在HEIF文件中是’image’)、一个子类型和零个或多个可选参数组成。对于多用途文件，可以根据文件的主要用途来选择子类型

An optional codecs MIME parameter can be present to indicate the used coding formats of the tracks of the file. Similarly, an optional itemtypes MIME parameter can be present to indicate the used coding format or the type of the derived image item (see section 3.3) as well as the essential properties (see section 3.2) of each image item present in the file. The codecs and itemtypes MIME parameters also include the profile-tier-level value to which an HEVC-coded image sequence track or image item, respectively, conforms.

可以提供一个可选的编解码器MIME参数，以指示文件轨道使用的编码格式。类似地，可以提供一个可选的itemtypes MIME参数来表示使用的编码格式或派生图像项的类型(见3.3节)，以及文件中每个图像项的基本属性(见3.2节)。codecs和itemtypes MIME参数还包括hevc编码的图像序列跟踪或图像项分别符合的配置文件层级别的值。
