Hi-Vision Codec For The Digital Broadcasting Services

摘要

Digital broadcasting via broadcasting satellite (BS) is at the stage of development for its early implementation. NHK has been developing Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting (ISDB), with BS aiming at digital HiVision broadcasting services that provide high quality and high functionality. Digital compression technology for HiVision is the key to implementing digital broadcasting. The MPEG-2 standard has been adopted internationally as a coding method for moving pictures, and is expected to be a generic standard applicable to various applications.
