All rights reserved. 3 Welcome to the December issue of the Journal of Digital Video, a publication of collected papers by the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) and its global arm, the International Society of Broadband Experts (ISBE). This edition of the journal focuses on various aspects of the digital video sector. It is well acknowledged that advertising is one of the revenue engines that contributes heavily to cable and online distribution. Dynamic ad campaign management and targeting have also contributed to revenue but also system complexity increases. The first article gives an overview of methods for effective verification of these complex systems – advertisers often insist on verification before payment is given. This paper describes several methods that are usable in different large-scale implementations. As video distribution continues to be a significant use of plant bandwidth, innovative new technologies permit increases in effective bandwidth without massive infrastructure rebuilds . The second paper describes techniques used to increase bandwidth available for data services. Content distribution from program provider to distributor has been one of the least-changed technologies from the early days of cable to the current time. However, recent developments in FCC spectrum reassignment and the ubiquity of IP capacity are moving the least-changed technology to the most-quickly disrupted. The third paper describes novel applications of new methods of content distribution from programmer to consumption points. The fourth paper describes how Blockchain technology can be used in interactive content and other services to ensure privacy, synchronization and, verification of consumer input. Secure and private two- way interaction between end-consumers and the service provider has been a challenge and can benefit from the cryptographic principles of Blockchain. SCTE•ISBE standards, and the operators that adopt them, keep high-quality content and services as top- of-mind goals. In the final paper, the newest high-quality video, High Dynamic Range (HDR) / Wide Color Gamut (WCG) is explored from the qualitative perspective. HDR/ WCG sets consumer expectations of picture quality to a new level. This paper explores the impairments that may impact HDR / WCG video. We thank the individuals who contributed to this issue of the Journal of Digital Video, including the authors, peer reviewers, and the SCTE•ISBE publications and marketing staff. We hope you enjoy this issue and that the selected papers spark innovative ideas and further cement essential knowledge in digital video. In closing, if there is any editorial information or topics that you would like us to consider for the next issue of SCTE•ISBE Journal of Digital Video, please refer to the “editorial correspondence” and “submissions” sections at the bottom of the table of contents for instructions.

R.

In multimedia communication systems, technology has transformed from analog television to digital television in the video domain. Mobile phones are known as smart phones as they are used, not only to make voice calls, but also used to send emails, video calls, transfer data, GPS, taking pictures and so on. Due to the widespread user applications, compression of data becomes important to save system resources. Video occupies 75% of data transfer traffic and is expected to cover 80% by the end of 2021. Video is also continuously increasing in file size from standard definition (SD) to ultra-high definition (UHD - 4K, 8K and 12K) video. More data or size in video requires higher transmission bandwidth or more disk space to store which can be slow and expensive. This drives the improvements in compression and hence the demand for a new codec. Several algorithms are used to achieve compression of Image or Video files, these algorithms working together are classified in terms of codecs and we use different codecs for different applications. Advances in video compression technology reduce the utilization of system resources, like processing time, memory use, network bandwidth and battery life.

    Deep Neural Network based Video Compression for Next Generation MPEG Video Codec Standardization This article introduces a brief status of DNNVC-related activities, current issues in the DNNVC MPEG ad-hoc group, and its standardization efforts. Tae Meon Bae Ofinno • ofinno.com • October 2020 1. Introduction in April 2020. Since winning the ImageNet Challenge Video transmission is expected to dominate (ILSVRC) for image classification in 2012, DNN has 79% of current global internet traffic with an attracted the attention of engineers and researchers annual growth rate of 31% by 2020 [1]. With this [4]. DNN illustrated outstanding performance in trend, the advancement of video compression prediction and classification. Because prediction technology becomes more important to alleviate and classification are also particularly important in radically increasing internet traffic.
