DESCRIPTION:
MPEG video is now an integral part of most digital video transmission and storage systems. Nowadays, video compression technologies are being used in almost all modern digital video systems and networks. Digital video compression is a field in which fundamental technologies were motivated and driven by practical applications so that they often lead to many useful advances. The subject of Transporting Compressed Digital Video includes several important topics, in particular video buffering, packet scheduling, multiplxing and synchronization.. Especially, the digital video-compression standards, developed by the Moving Pictures Expert Group (MPEG) of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), have enabled many successful digital-video applications. These applications range from digital-video disk (DVD) and multimedia CDs on a desktop computer, interactive digital cable television, to digital satellite networks. In the past two decades, progress in digital video processing, transmission, and storage technologies, such as video compression, digital modulation, and digital storage disk, has proceeded at an astounding pace. Not only is video compression equipment being implemented to increase the bandwidth efficiency of
"A reader's review" according to A Customer. The book contains a good coverage of the material related to video buffer and timestamps.This book deals with the intricacies of the video transport and it presents separate sections on key components of video transport and topics on vdieo system design like buffer management, multiplexing, system timing and other issues on transmission of coded video. Author provides a good reference on the MPEG-2 video transport system.. This topic should be taught in the school! There are many books discussing MPEG video compression. But very few of them actually teach about how to transport compressed video. This book has a reasonably in-depth presentation and coverage of principles and methods on synchronization, buffer management, rate control, time-stamping of compressed video with good examples and applications.. An interesting book for the topic Clearly, this book includes many real stuffs. It does show experience and knowledge on MPEG-2 systems. Hard to get these kind of references for college professors. Most of the books on compression write or use the same materials, but this one doesn't. I like it (even with all the typos -- editor or author should correct them! many typos).
