This is an industry organization whose goalis to develop standards and specifications for the encoding, transmission,and unencoding of video information over various media and network technologies. See also MPEG1 and MPEG2.
A group that developed standards for video compression to improve the quality of the video on a monitor.
An algorithm for the digital processing of full motion video. According to the NII vision, an accepted world standard for multiplexing video, audio, and data for digital television broadcasting. A group of standards for compression and storage of motion video. MPEG-1 provides images of 240 lines x 360 pixel s/line, digital transfer rates up to 1.5 Mbps, and compression ratios of about 100:1. MPEG-2 provides a higher quality picture - 720 horizontal lines x 480 vertical lines (pixels/line). The MPEG-2 standard is used for HDTV, and will be used for cable broadcasts. See also Motion JPEG .
A developing ISO standard for moving picture/video compression.
A compression standard for the digital processing of audio and video files developed by the "Motion Picture Experts Group".
A multimedia video play back standard that allows digital video to be compressed using a combination of JPEG image compression and a sophisticated form of differencing encoding a video sequence by recording differences between frames rather than entire images of each frame. There are two MPEG standards: MPEG 1, which supports a playback quality roughly equal to that of a VCR, and MPEG 2, which supports high quality digital video. MPEG 1 is the form normally used with personal computers. See also JPEG.
Body established by the International Standards Organisation to provide the basis for a picture coding and compression system. MPEG first designed a standard called MPEG1 for bit-rates of around 1.2 Mbit/s, primarily for carrying VHS-quality video on compact disc-based multimedia systems. MPEG-2, commonly used by most digital television transmisions, in a video compression standard developed for bit-rates from 3Mbit/s to 15 Mbit/s.
is a standard form of coding used for stored video and television.
MPEG is an international standard for video compression. MPEG-1 is a low-resolution format currently used on the World Wide Web for short animated files. MPEG-2 is a much higher resolution format being developed for digital television and movies. MPEG-4 is increasingly being used in CCTV solutions.
A type of audio/video (multimedia) file found on the Internet. In order to hear or see an MPEG movie, you will need to install a helper application or Web browser plugin. MPEG is an algorithm for compressing audio and video; not to be confused with Motion-JPEG.
An international standards organization responsible for the MPEG 1 and MPEG 2 standards for the compression of full-motion video, as well as the MPEG 3 standard used in downloadable music.
A standard for video and audio compression. MPEG-1: Video compression up to 100:1, depending on image sequence type and desired quality. VHS-quality playback is expected from this level of compression. MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 (MP3): Audio compression up to 20:1, depending on desired quality. Though inferior to ATRAC compression, MP3 has become the de-facto standard for audio transfer over the internet. MPEG-2: Video compression up to 40:1, depending on image sequence type and desired quality. DVD Video and Digital TV use MPEG-2. MPEG-4: Multimedia compression designed for computer and Internet applications.
