Definitions for "Compressed Video"
Type of video signal which has been compressed (using a CODEC) in preparation for transmission. In the past, compressed video has been inferior in quality to full-motion video because of the reduced number of frames per second (30) capability. However, there has been rapid advances made in compression methods (and CODECs) allowing for near-full-motion video quality being transmitted over the less expensive copper wiring.
this processes video images and transmits changes from one frame to the next which reduces the bandwidth to send them over a telecommunications channel; reduces cost. (See survey item 10)
digital video segment that has been reduced in size by using computer algorithms. The compressed version usually has a lower resolution than the uncompressed version. The better the compression algorithm, the greater the reduction in size without the corresponding reduction in resolution.
