A breakthrough
technology, Digital
Video Compression is important to all forms of
today's electronic entertainment and communications.
The SF Guide to Digital Video Compression is an information
packed, quality video production which offers an in depth, on location tour
of one of the 20th century’s most exciting and revolutionary technological
developments.
Drawing on 25 years of experience in the satellite telecommunication
industry, author, technical trainer and consultant, Mark Long, takes
us on a journey through the brave new world that was born from the marriage
of tiny Ku-band satellite dishes and digital video compression. He
takes the viewer on a down-to-earth tour of what video compression does and
how it works.
Using simple language and analogies, along with
detailed animated graphics, Mr. Long makes video compression
easy to understand. Featuring interviews with satellite and compression industry leaders,
this technical short course, The SF Guide to Digital Video Compression,
covers MPEG 1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and Digital Video Broadcasting.
Topics
covered include:
From Analog to Digital
Advantages of Digital Video Compression

personal computer & CD ROM,
laboratory demos of MPEG 2 digital video at various data compression rates.
This program offers a virtual short course on the technical
concepts used in compression and was designed to be part of a
complete course of instruction on the
technical aspects of satellite
communications. It should be used with our Satellite
Installations and
Satellite Technology Overview DVDs to touch upon all
aspects of the technology.
Our Satellite Learning Package
is great for Vocational/Technical schools and
ideal for training entry level industry technicians and
installers! It is also an excellent tutorial for
emergency management and disaster recovery personnel unfamiliar
with satellite technology.
