Description
A complete, professional 'bible' on all aspects of audio and video compression using MPEG technology, including the MPEG-4 standard and,
in this second edition, H-264. The clarity of explanation and depth of technical detail combine to make this book an essential and definitive
reference work.
THE MPEG HANDBOOK is both a theoretical and practical treatment of the subject. Fundamental knowledge is provided
alongside practical guidance on how to avoid pitfalls and poor quality. The often-neglected issues of reconstructing the signal timebase
at the decoder and of synchronizing the signals in a multiplex are treated fully here.
Previously titled MPEG-2, the book is frequently
revised to cover the latest applications of the technology.
Audience:
Audio, video, broadcasting, computing and communications technicians and engineers.
