What is NaBSVC

Many applications are developing for broadband environment

High data rate Higher bandwidth High performance hardware

Unlimited users Limited resources

Objectives

Performed under narrow-band conditions Streaming performance Video quality

Adaptive compression mechanism Background data reusing Audio video synchronization

Architecture - Encoder

Architecture - Decoder

Researches

Video compression standards MPEG-1,2,4 H. 264

Image compression algorithms Quantization DCT Zigzag Ordering Run Length Encoding Huffman Coding

Researches cont…

Existing audio & video codec Theora Xvid Vorbis Speex

Container formats OGG AVI

Work Done

Theora source code compilation Use Theora example encoder

Decode an existing video file Encode YUV4MPEG2 video stream to .ogv format Quality comparison (subjective) of video codecs

Use the Xvid example encoder and decoder Encode a rawvideo to .m4v format

Work Done cont…

Video codec comparison for narrow-band streaming

Objective comparison DGIndex 1.0.12

Subjective comparison File size Visible image quality Audible sound quality
