Video Compression: A Technology Update

However, it is recognized that video places a different set of requirements on the underlying networks – one of the most significant ones being whether there is sufficient bandwidth to handle the video streams. The answer lies in ever more sophisticated video compression encoding and decoding algorithms. This Webinar steps through the various encoding methods for compressing video, identifies pros and cons of each, and matches them to different types of video service. It will look at aspects of video transcoding and transrating and provide an update on the progress of standards groups responsible for developing video compression techniques. Equally so, developments in decoding techniques will be featured along with design considerations that must be made to allow the stored video content, much of which still originates over satellite networks, to be handed off into the subscriber delivery networks.
