Use cases are presented for placement decision messaging, information service messaging, as well as several advanced topics that warranted a more in depth discussion than was offered in the core SCTE 130 suite of standards.

SCTE 193-1 2014, "MPEG-4 AAC Family Audio System - Part 1 Coding Constraints for Cable Television," defines the coding constraints on MPEG 4 AAC, HE AAC, and HE AAC v2 (referred to collectively in this document as the "AAC family") profile audio for cable TV.

SCTE 193-2 2014, "MPEG-4 AAC Family Audio System - Part 2 Constraints for Carriage over MPEG-2 Transport," describes the carriage of MPEG-4 AAC, MPEG-4 HE AAC and MPEG-4 HE AAC v2 (referred to collectively in this document as the "AAC family") profile audio in MPEG-2 transport systems.
