Description du livre
Transporting Compressed Digital Video introduces fundamental principles and important technologies used in design and analysis of video transport systems for many video applications, such as MPEG and Motion JPEG video, in digital networks.
The subject of Transporting Compressed Digital Video includes several important topics, in particular video buffering, packet scheduling, multiplexing and synchronization. This book takes a structured approach to video transporting technology, starting with the overview of video transporting and video compression techniques and working gradually towards important issues of video transporting systems. Many applications are described throughout the book. These applications include the video transporting techniques used in the broadband communication systems such as the digital broadcasting system for cable television and the direct satellite broadcasting system for digital television; transporting schemes for digital head-end multiplexing and re-multiplexing systems, video transcoding systems, and also the rate-control schemes for video transmission over networks.
Transporting Compressed Digital Video can be used as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate- level courses on video compression and communication, and as a reference book by communication engineers and video coding specialists. Both professionals and students will benefit from the information in this self-contained work on video transport systems engineering.
