The standard video reference for digital and software engineers, this technical guide is packed with hard-to-find reference information. It covers all the international video standards, MPEG 1 and MPEG 2, design architectures for incorporating video into computer systems, video conferencing, and digital encoding/decoding techniques. In addition, this guide discusses the popular DVD standard, HDTV, SDTV, DV, and IEEE 1394. The accompanying CD-ROM is loaded with design tools to assist in testing and evaluating video systems, including still images, QuickTime movies, and source code for MPEG, H.261, and H.263 encoders/decoders.
