Digital Video
On March 12th the IEEE Consultants’ Network of Northern NJ (www.TechnologyOnTap.org) will present Aldo Cugnini who will discuss digital video.
About the Topic
The distribution of video content to consumers was once handled by analog means, over wireless broadcasting, hardwired cable and physical media. Today, this distribution takes place in digital form, over media that includes the Internet. Digital video content distribution is possible because of advances in compression and transmission systems. This talk will present an overview of these digital systems, as well as an introduction to the various business and regulatory issues that are shaping the future of content distribution.
