MPEG-4
Description
Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) a working group of ISO/IEC in charge of the development of standards for coded representation of digital audio and video. Established in 1988, the group has produced MPEG-1, the standard on which such products as Video CD and MP3 are based, MPEG-2, the standard on which such products as Digital Television set top boxes and DVD are based, MPEG-4, the standard for multimedia for the fixed and mobile web, MPEG-7, the standard for description and search of audio and visual content and MPEG-21, the Multimedia Framework.
MPEG-4 was defined by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG), the working group within the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that specified the widely adopted, Emmy Award-winning standards known as MPEG-1 and MPEG-2.
It is a graphics and video compression algorithm standard that is based on MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and Apple QuickTime technology. The primary uses for the MPEG-4 standard are web (streaming media) and CD distribution, conversational (videophone), and broadcast television.
MPEG-4 builds on the proven success of three fields:
• Digital television;
• Interactive graphics applications (synthetic content);
• Interactive multimedia (World Wide Web, distribution of and access to content)
Course Objectives

MPEG-4 provides the standardized technological elements enabling the integration of the production, distribution and content access paradigms of the three fields. This course covers MPEG-4 protocol, architecture, functional characteristics, technical components, design, operations and testing.
