Sign language and lip-reading are two important application areas of video communication. Certain quality requirements must be met for the successful transmission of the components of visual language. This supplement is an application profile document that provides the background to the requirements. It also offers gives guidance on how these requirements may be met. The intent of this supplement is not to propose new video coding schemes, but rather to indicate how current and future video coding schemes may be applied to these two application areas, achieving good results.
