MPEG-4, H.264 and DRM in IPTV

View course dates

Course Duration: 2 days

Course Code: PWL013

Course Description:

This 2-day course examines the delivery of high quality TV images for HDTV and broadcast quality television requiring large digital bandwidths. MPEG-2 has been used for many years in order to deliver standard resolution images over streams of about 4 or 5 Mbit/s. However to deliver higher resolutions without more bandwidth greater compression is needed. Also in the field of handheld mobile devices the data rates over wireless channels are considerably reduced by the deployment of error recovery techniques. Here compression is vital to deliver any viable image service.

This course teaches how MPEG-4 and H.264 function to deliver greater compression of the signals. It includes details of how the bit streams can be transported over digital networks and IP. It also includes information on how intellectual property can be protected using Digital Rights Management (DRM).

Course Objectives

When you have completed this course you will be able to:
Describe the standard encodings for digital Television
Appreciate the mechanisms used for digital compression of Television
Identify how to multiplex channels, video pictures and sound within a stream
Deploy the scrambling used for Conditional Access systems
Enhance compression with MPEG-4 and H.264
Compare the effectiveness of the different compression approaches
Select an appropriate Digital Rights Management system for deployment
