Few could argue that MPEG-2 has not been a workhorse of professional media compression. Created in 1988, it helped to power the commercial success of DVD disc players and is still used daily by U.S.

A common designation for the H.264 video standard, which uses a family of compression techniques titled Advanced Video Coding (AVC). Also called "H.264/MPEG-4," "H.264/MPEG-4 AVC" and "MPEG-4/AVC." ...

Despite its promise of improved coding efficiency over existingstandards, H.264/AVC still presentsengineering challenges. It incorporates the most significant changes andalgorithmic discontinuities in ...

This paper presents a motion compensation soft IP for H.264/AVC decoding based on the MoCHA architecture. The IP was designed in VHDL and validated by simulation and by prototyping on a Xilinx FPGA ...

The hardware implementation of the emerging H.264/AVC video compression standard presents a number of difficult challenges when it comes to real-time encoding at HDTV rates. This paper describes an ...

Some think license terms for the popular video encoding technology mean Apple's Final Cut Pro should be called Final Cut Hobbyist. Not so fast. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and ...

H.264/MPEG-4 AVC/MPEG-4 AVC, one of the video compression standards MPEG-4, is a video compression codec that aims for 'high image quality even at low bit rates'. Since its introduction in 2003, H.264 ...

“Emerging” codecs like AV1, VP9, and HEVC are hardly newcomers to the streaming scene, and their implementation and breadth of industry support—particularly AV1’s—has grown by leaps and bounds. Yet ...

Codecs are used to compress video to reduce the bandwidth required to transport streams, or to reduce the storage space required to archive them. The price for this compression is increased ...

The results and an extensive analysis of the formal subjective verification tests of the H.265/HEVC video compression standard are published in the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video ...

Using 4:2:2 10-bit encoding has become the de facto standard for professional video because it is captured and transmitted over SDI, allowing the entire production chain to use at least a 10-bit ...
