2 Codec Decoder Mpeg Subpicture

Video compression coding is the enabling technology behind a new wave of communication applications. From streaming internet video to broadcast digital television and digital cinema, the video codec is a key building block for a host of new multimedia applications and services. "Video Codec Design" sets out to de-mystify the subject of video coding and present a practical, design-based approach to this emerging field. Featuring: Guidance on the practical design and implementation of video coding technology.Explanation of the major video coding standards, including MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.263 and H.26L.Detailed coverage of key video coding techniques and core algorithms.Examination of critical design issues including transmission, Quality of Service and processing platforms.A wealth of illustrations and practical examples, including quantitative comparisons of design alternatives."Video Codec Design" provides communications engineers, system designers, researchers and technical managers with an essential handbook to image and video compression technology. The clear presentation and emphasis on real-life examples make this book an excellent teaching tool for computer science and electronic engineering instructors.

Written as an authoritative introduction, this text describes the technology of digital television broadcasting. It gives a thorough technical description of the underlying principles of the DVB standard following the logical progression of signal processing steps, as well as COFDM modulation, source and channel coding, MPEG compression and multiplexing methods, conditional access and set-top box technology. If you are looking for a concise technical briefing' that will quickly get you up to speed with the subject without getting lost in the detail - this is the book you need. After an overview of analogue TV systems and video digitization formats, the author then examines the various steps of signal processing - taken in order from transmission to reception - to facilitate an understanding of the architecture and function of the main blocks of the Integrated Receiver/Decoder (IRD) or "set-top" box. Herve Benoit focuses attention on the very complex problems that need to be solved in order to define reliable standards for broadcasting digital pictures to the consumer and gives solutions chosen for the current DVB system. * Enhance your knowledge of digital television with this authoritative technical introduction * Learn the underlying principles of DVB standard, COFDM modulation, compression, multiplexing, conditional access and set-top box technology *A concise technical 'briefing' that brings you up to speed with the subject.
