DIGITAL VIDEO AND AUDIO COMPRESSION
Ouvrage 0-07-059538-0 : DIGITAL VIDEO AND AUDIO COMPRESSION
Book Description
This one-of-a-kind reference source provides
state-of-the-art guidance on the
application and performance requirements for the
compression of digital video and
audio. The book examines all existing and emerging
standards, as well as the
trade-offs between technical performance and market
considerations. Written in a
clear, accessible manner, this valuable working
tool first explains what video and
audio compression is all about-and why it is done
digitally.
From the Back Cover
A concise, readable account of the compression
technologies crucial to the New
Media age This is a chronicle of the basic
technologies, infrastructures, costs, and
applications of digital video and audio
compression. Delivering a concise account of
compression's terms, techniques, standards, and
tricks in an easy-to-read style, it
fills a huge gap for everyone from engineers to
executives. . .and those currently
working with digital media as well as those who
would like to. No other single
source provides such a clear overview of the
technologies that are revolutionzing
modes and means of communication around the glove.
You'll find straight talk about:
The basic principles underlying digital signal
processing and compression.; How
human beings see and hear, in relation to how audio
and video are reproduced.; All
major existing and emerging compression standards;
video compression techniques
such as differential pulse code modulation,
transform coding, and vector
quantization.; Adaptive pulse code modulation and
other audio compression
techniques.; Compression and reproduction
requirements of a wide variety of
different applications, including
videoconferencing. If the fast, creative, and
cost-effective transmission of sights and sounds is
a subject about which you need to
know, Digital Video and Audio Compression is a must
read.

A concise, readable account
of the compression technologies
crucial to the New Media age
This is a chronicle of the basic technologies, infrastructures,
costs,
and applications of digital video and audio compression.
Delivering a
concise account of compression's terms, techniques, standards,
and
tricks in an easy-to-read style, it fills a huge gap for
everyone from
engineers to executives ... and those currently working with
digital
media as well as those who would like to.
No other single source provides such a clear overview of the
tech-
nologies that are revolutionizing modes and means of
communication
around the globe. You'll find straight talk about:
* The basic principles underlying digital signal processing
and compression.
* How human beings see and hear, in relation to how audio
and video are reproduced.
* All major existing and emerging compression standards.
* Video compression techniques such as differential pulse
code modulation, transform coding, and vector
