1. A method performed by at least one processor, the method comprising:
segmenting a multidimensional media stream, wherein the multidimensional media stream comprises multidimensional media in a multidimensional space;
splitting the multidimensional media stream into a plurality of input media streams that are capable of being processed in parallel using a splitter function descriptor, the splitter function descriptor comprising parameters comprising:
an input-dimension parameter that indicates dimensions of an input media segment, wherein when a number of dimensions of the multidimensional media stream is greater than one, the input-dimension parameter is a vector of a size dimension and vector components that include a scale and segment-length;
a scale parameter indicating a scale in units to be used for derivation of length values;
a segment metadata having a Boolean value that indicates whether segment timed metadata is supported;
a segment startcode parameter having a Boolean value that indicates whether Sequence metadata comprises a startcode and a sequence number; and
a number of dimension parameter having an integer value indicating a maximum number of dimensions of the multidimensional media stream; and
processing the plurality of input media streams in parallel.
