Abstract
This standard defines a SCSI based command set needed to access multi-media features. The applicable
clauses of this standard when used in conjunction with other standards and publications define a full standard
set of commands.
American
National
Standard
Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by
ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus and other
criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer.
Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of
Standards Review, directly and materially affected interests have
reached substantial agreement. Substantial agreement means much
more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus
requires that all views and objections be considered and that effort be
made towards their resolution.
The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their
existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has
approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing,
purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not
conforming to the standards.
The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards
and in no circumstances give interpretation on any American National
Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue
an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the
American National Standards Institute. Requests for interpretations
should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name
appears on the title page of this standard.
CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised
or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National
Standards Institute require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm,
revise, or withdraw this standard. Purchasers of American National
Standards may receive current information on all standards by calling
or writing the American National Standards Institute.
CAUTION NOTICE: The developers of this standard have requested that holders of patents that may be
required for the implementation of this standard disclose such patents to the publisher. However, neither
the developers nor the publisher has undertaken a patent search in order to identify, which, if any,
patents may apply to this standard. As of the date of publication of this standard and following call for
the identification of patents that may be required for the implementation of the standard, no such claims
have been made. The developer or publisher in respect to any standard it processes conducts no further
patent search. No representation is made or implied that licenses are not required to avoid infringement
in the use of this standard.
