Cisco Confidential 5 Outline • The Need for Video Compression • Video Compression Standards • Video Compression Techniques • MPEG Transport Streams Session Number Presentation_ID © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 6 The Need for Video Compression • Uncompressed Digital Video in the SDI (Synchronous Digital Interface) format requires a tremendous amount of bandwidth to transmit 270Mbs for Standard Definition Service 1.485Gbs for High Definition Service • Aggressive compression techniques are required in order to deliver video services over IP networks • Compression is also required to reduce storage requirements for Video on Demand (VOD) systems Session Number Presentation_ID © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 7 The Need for Video Compression • Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) A working group within the International Standards Organization (ISO) that was establish in 1988 to define the standards for digital compression of audio-visual signals. Session Number Presentation_ID © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 8 MPEG Definitions • MPEG has standardized the following compression formats and ancillary standards: MPEG-1: Initial audio and video compression standard. Later used as the standard for Video CD, and includes the popular Layer 3 (MP3) audio compression format. MPEG-2: Transport audio and video standards for broadcast-quality television. Used for over-the-air digital television ATSC, DVB and ISDB, digital satellite TV services like DirecTV, digital cable television signals, and (with slight modifications) for DVD video discs. MPEG-4: Expands MPEG-1 to support audio/video "objects", 3D content, low bit rate encoding and support for Digital Rights Management. A new higher efficiency video codec is included (an alternative to MPEG-2 Video). MPEG-4 Part 2: Full Protocol that includes support for advanced editing functions and 3D modeling MPEG-4 Part 10: Also known as the Advanced Video Codec (AVC) and H.264. MPEG-4 Part 10 is effectively an extension of MPEG-2 that incorporates the advanced compression techniques used in MPEG-4 Part 2. MPEG-4 Part 10 = H.264 = AVC Session Number Presentation_ID © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 9 Typical Compression Ratios • For Broadcast Video Applications, the following compression ratios are typical: • MPEG-2 SD: 270Mbs SDI Æ 3.5 – 5 Mbs MPEG-2 Stream HD: 1.485Gbs SDI-HD Æ 15 – 20 Mbs MPEG-2 Stream Compressed stream is 50 to 100 times smaller • MPEG-4 SD: 270Mbs SDI Æ 1.5 – 2.5 Mbs H.264 Stream HD: 1.485Gbs SDI-HD Æ 8 – 12 Mbs H.264 Stream Compressed stream is 100 to 180 times smaller Session Number Presentation_ID © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc.

All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 11 How Compression is Achieved • Limitations of human perception are used to determine what information can be discarded from the signal without a significant reduction in perceived signal quality • Visual Limitations Limited resolution Higher luminance resolution than color resolution Higher sensitivity for coarse picture details than fine details • Psychoacoustic Limitations Limited frequency response (Fra 20hz til 20.000hz) Non-linear frequency response Limited volume range (fjern svag og meget høj lyd) Session Number Presentation_ID © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 12 How Compression is Achieved • Blanking removal • Chroma sub sampling (færre farve samplinger end grå samplinger, samt pixel optimering) • Motion Prediction (Temporal Compression) • Spatial Compression (Still Image Compression, ala jpeg) Discrete Cosine Transform Quantization • Entropy Coding (Huffman Coding) Session Number Presentation_ID © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 13 Blanking Removal • Blanking Removal (ingen tab af kvalitet) The horizontal and vertical blanking areas are not recorded. They are replaced by short sync data words specific to the application. Example: ITU-R BT.601, 10 bits per sample, 4:2:2 bit-serial data stream has a bit rate of 270Mb/s. Removing the blanking data results in a reduced bit rate of 207Mb/s without affecting the picture quality. Vertical Blanking Interval Interval Horizontal Blanking Electron Gun Picture Area Session Number Presentation_ID © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 14 Chroma sub sampling Lossy images utilizing Sub-sampling The pixels in every second row and every second column are ignored. To compensate for this, the size of the remaining pixels are scaled up. Human perception fills in the gaps. Session Number Presentation_ID © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.

High Efficiency Video Coding level of bandwidth savings. (HEVC or H.265) is compared with MPEG-4 Advanced It is this second rationale that has led to a category of Video Coding (AVC or H.264), and the behavior of both in applications for H.265/HEVC that is totally distinct from low bandwidth and lossy transmission channels is mass content distribution (as implemented by the likes of explored, concentrating on the ability to transmit usable Netflix for UHD-TV): video transmission over constrained information over low bandwidth links using each approach. network links, as with Apple’s FaceTime application Comparison of the same video simultaneously compressed connecting iPhone 6 (and later) devices. heavily for constrained links and lightly for on-board Therefore, with H.265/HEVC in use within a ubiquitous storage is used to illustrate the effects of heavy mass-market smartphone, it is clear that here is a compression on video usability, as well as side-by-side technology that may be ready for use in test and evaluation comparison of the output of both video encoding applications. algorithms as implemented in a rugged airborne package.

  • JPEG 2000 Module
    Ericsson ce-aj2k option module The Ericsson CE-aJ2K JPEG 2000 encoder module solves the challenge of delivering high quality HD at low latency over fibre contribution links. With many sports centres, entertainment venues and broadcast centres having access to gigabit Ethernet, cost-effective use can only be achieved by utilizing the connectivity effectively with the use of JPEG 2000. The CE-aJ2K uses wavelet based JPEG 2000 at 4:2:2 sampling with 10-bit precision to deliver SD or HD at up to 1080i25/29.97 resolutions. Because no GOP structure is used, latency is low and subsequent editing is easy. A unique capability of Ericsson's JPEG 2000 implementation is that MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC and JPEG-2000 encoder modules can be mixed within a single encoding chassis, such as the AVP2000 Contribution Encoder or AVP3000 Voyager. Hot swappable architecture and optional dual power supplies means maximum operational flexibility, easy upgrades and reliable operation - all maximising ROI. PRODUCT OVERVIEW Software Upgradeability CE-aJ2K modules are based on a future-proof, software upgradeable Broad supporting palette platform. This enables the SD to HD upgrade using a SW license, CE-aJ2K fits into DSNG (mobile news, sports, entertainment) without any additional hardware expense. applications, as well to fixed broadcast contribution. C&D service providers can use Ericsson’s AVP2000 Contribution Encoder or AVP3000 Voyager for encoding JPEG-2000, the RX8200 receiver for BASE UNIT FEATURES decoding, and nCompass Control for system control. CE-aJ2K Encoder Card Operational advantages (CE/HWO/CE-a/J2K, FAZ 101 0119/79) Precise color representation and I-frame only operation ensures (CE/UPG/HWO/CE-a/J2K, FAZ 101 0119/81) hassle-free color correction, keying and editing, therefore a seamless post-production process.

Rao for introducing me to specialize in the field of video coding and for his immense support, guidance and faith in every step of the thesis. He has been a great source of inspiration to learn, not only for the thesis, but also for many other things. I would like to extend my appreciation to my Multimedia processing lab mates who provided me with their valuable inputs throughout. I would like to extend my gratitude to UTA for providing me with opportunity and resources to excel in my graduate studies.
