ATM & MPEG-2: Integrating Digital Video Into Broadband Networks
Michael Orzessek(Contributor), Peter Sommer / Textbook Binding / Published August 1997
Price: $63.00 - Ships in 24 hours
Preface MPEG-2 (digital video compression standard created by the Moving Pictures Experts Group) and ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) can be regarded as the key technologies that will enable the digital video services to go past the academic stage and become a real end user success. These technologies are, however, only a small part of the Broadband Integrated Service Digital Network, or B-ISDN. When digital video services are distributed to the customers, the B-ISDN will be one of the most essential vehicles. Therefore, there will be a huge interaction and dependency between video services an...

An exciting new development has taken place in the digital era that has captured the imagination and talent of researchers around the globe -- wavelet image compression. This technology has deep roots in theories of vision, and promises performance improvements over all other compression methods, such as those based on Fourier transforms, vectors quantizers, fractals, neural nets, and many others. It is this revolutionary new technology that is presented in Wavelet Image and Video Compression, in a form that is accessible to the largest audience possible. Wavelet Image and Video Compression is...

Newcomers to the online world usually figure out the mechanics of surfing and e-mail pretty quickly, but file downloads can remain confounding for some time. Newbies who want to pick files from the online orchard need to know what a Zip file is and how to use one. WinZip for Beginners answers their questions, explaining how to get WinZip, how to install it, and how to use it to compress and extract files. This is a real service, because WinZip, even with its new wizard-based interface, isn't terribly intuitive.
