https://www.w3.org/TR/2019/WD-ttml-imsc1.2-20191128/

Abstract

This specification defines two profiles of [ttml2]: a text-only profile and an image-only profile. These profiles are intended to be used across subtitle and caption delivery applications worldwide, thereby simplifying interoperability, consistent rendering and conversion to other subtitling and captioning formats. 

This specification improves on [ttml-imsc1.1] by supporting contemporary practices, while retaining compatibility with [ttml-imsc1.1] documents. Relative to [ttml-imsc1.1], any addition or deprecation of features are summarized at Appendix ยง L. Summary of substantive changes. 

It is feasible to create documents that simultaneously conform to both [ttml10-sdp-us] and the text-only profile. 

The specification defines extensions to [ttml2], as well as incorporates extensions specified in [SMPTE2052-1] and [EBU-TT-D]. 

Both profiles are based on [SUBM].
