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. |

| Publisher Description: The purpose of Transporting Compressed Digital Video is to introduce fundamental principles and important technologies used in design and analysis of video transport systems for many video applications in digital 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. 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. 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. MPEG has become the most recognized standard for digital video compression. 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. Not only is video compression equipment being implemented to increase the bandwidth efficiency of communication systems, but video compression also provides innovative solutions to many related vid- networking problems. The subject of Transporting Compressed Digital Video includes several important topics, in particular video buffering, packet scheduling, multiplxing and synchronization. |
