JRI Technology is offering a Video Compression course and DTV course to help you understand compression and DTV technologies and digital video-based products, or to help you to design your own:

Advanced Video Compression [MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC/H.264]
3-day course; June 2-4, 2008
Please call for the option:
MPEG-1 & MPEG-2, 1&1/2-day course, June 2-3, 2008

The latest extension to the AVC – scalable video coding (SVC) – is added to the course Syllabus. Also, the special project - DCI Requirements (Hollywood requirements for Digital Cinema) and SVC – is prepared for this course.

DCI Requirements and SVC

Compare the DCI Requirements (will be included in the course notes) and SVC features
Can SVC satisfy the DCI Requirements?
If “Yes”, propose the Digital Cinema SVC profile
Compare the proposed DC SVC profile with the JPEG 2000 Digital Cinema profile

SVC enables the transmission and decoding of partial bit streams to provide video services with lower temporal or spatial resolutions or reduced fidelity while retaining a reconstruction quality that is high relative to the rate of the partial bit streams. Hence, SVC provides functionalities such as graceful degradation in lossy transmission environments as well as bit rate, format, and power adaptation. These functionalities provide enhancements to transmission and storage applications. SVC has achieved significant improvements in coding efficiency with an increased degree of supported scalability relative to the scalable profiles of prior video coding standards.

Applications:
2k and 4k D-Cinema
Different importance (RoI)
Surveillance

Essential requirements for SVC:
– Similar coding efficiency compared to single-layer coding – for each subset of the scalable bit stream
– Little increase in decoding complexity compared to single-layer decoding that scales with the decoded spatio-temporal resolution and bit rate
– Support of temporal, spatial, and quality scalability
– Support of a backward compatible base layer (H.264/AVC in this case)
– Support of simple bit stream adaptations after encoding

Digital Television (DTV)
3-day course, June 9-11, 2008

The objective of the course is to bring the participants gracefully through all the DTV structure, features, and theory...then give them more practical information on subjects such as decoding issues, display problems, conversion, baseband data stream handling, etc. The course will also provide an in depth and structured introduction to the technology, its uses, opportunities/possibilities, and limitations. Digital TV is not simply the numerical equivalent to traditional analog television: the issues of becoming digital are covered, as well as the relevant compression technologies.

Q: Why the HDTV sets don't have outputs?
