Description
Television is the most engaging source of information and entertainment. Online services allow TV content and movies to be streamed instantly or downloaded on demand, and has opened up new ways for discovering, sharing, and consuming TV content anywhere, anytime, and on any device.. Conversely, it takes nothing more than a smartphone and a YouTube channel to become a global broadcaster and producer of live events. Because improvements in video compression require additional tools and options, each generation of video codecs has a new syntax defining a bitstream so newer codecs are typically not backward compatible with older generation decoders. State-of-the-art standards such as Versatile Video Coding (VVC) and AOM Video 1 (AV1) will bring even greater efficiencies using highly complex tools. These tools are described in this course, which contains over 300 informative slides. Optimizing the efficiency of video coding requires a painstaking effort and a systematic approach in analyzing the coding performance using a wide variety of video content and coding parameters. Factors such as resolution, color/brightness volume, frame rate, and amount of information loss in video coding all impact the visual quality. This course is packed with many numeric examples to illustrate the impact and tradeoffs when combining coding parameters as well as effective tips in coding implementation.
The instructor has developed 6 U.S. video patents that were licensed to industry and received the National Association of Broadcasters Technology Innovation Award for demonstrations of advanced media technologies. He has conducted custom video courses for Comcast/NBC, Qualcomm, Motorola Solutions, universities, and the IEEE, and has served as an expert witness on cable TV and video streaming.
