Day Two

KNK Seminars invites you to attend an intensive two-day technical seminar providing comprehensive analysis and in-depth applied design information on the MPEG1 and MPEG2 standards and their integration with storage and transmission technologies. It is rich in technical content and will give you a complete understanding and working knowledge in MPEG.

MPEG1 and MPEG2 are multi-part generic standards that have been adopted world-wide as core technologies for digital media distribution, contribution and playback in digital television, computer, communications and consumer industries.

MPEG is universally defined as a set of tools and processes. You will explore in detail the main parts of the MPEG standards:
    Systems which includes multiplexing and timing recovery for synchronization for delivery of digital media services and,

    Video and Audio which provide flexible, efficient bitrate/quality compression for moving pictures and for audio from different sources.

Update by gaining additional key information on:
  • MPEG's enhancements including Advanced Audio Coding, 4:2:2, DTV/HDTV, scalable profiles, compliance and test, quality considerations;
  • MPEG-2's video amendments to address industry's requirements
  • Introduction to MPEG4's Advanced Video Coding
  • Application definitions that add specific features to and limit the range of MPEG parameters in systems such as ATSC/HDTV, digital cable, DVB, DVD and ATM and IP networks.

Through KNK Seminars' presentations, you will benefit from a detailed, practical and up-to-date coverage of all these aspects of the MPEG standards. In addition, you will learn the specifics and trends of implementations in many products and application scenarios. Also, functions and options which exhibit great potential for value-added product will be highlighted throughout the seminar. The presentation material is documented in your detailed seminar manual of over 300 pages. The bonus glossary of acronyms and terms serves as a valuable asset for your reference.

This unique seminar prepares you to keep pace with the explosion of technological developments promoted by industries' endorsement of the MPEG standards. It enables you to make informed decisions to meet the challenges encompassing applications such as advanced TV systems (HDTV, DVB, DBS, digital cable), video communications over ATM and IP and interactive playback (DVD, servers).

KNK Seminars has the knowledge, the expertise and the industry experience through participation in the MPEG standards development and through providing consultation services in product definitions and architecture and design specifications to clients involved with compression technology. The material in this seminar is constantly updated to keep current with the latest standards and industry developments and practices.

The format of this two-day seminar encourages networking with leading industry technologists and specialists and thus it provides an ideal environment to have your questions answered and technical and current market issues clarified. Today MPEG technology markets are highly competitive and this seminar will place you and your company in the forefront.

This stimulating forum will give you accurate insight into the MPEG1 and MPEG2 industry as of today and will invoke many opportunities for you in accelerating and deploying this technology now and in the future.

This seminar is available for onsite presentation. Call 858-459-8058 for details.
