The global market for semiconductor was estimated at US$ 579 billion in the year 2022 is projected to US$ 790 billion by 2029 growing at a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period. #VideoAudioCODEC #GlobalMarket #Semiconductor #DigitalTelevision #Streaming #MediaPlayers #MobileDevices #H264 #MPEG2 #Innovation

A journey through #video #codec evolution, from MPEG-1 to AV1 and beyond. 🚀 Do you know that it takes around 10 years on average for a new video codec to hit the market? Driven by just two major groups. #compression #multimedia #3D #innovation

The video streaming industry is experiencing a significant transformation driven by the increasing demand for video services and the integration of Artificial Intelligence processing. This trend has led operators to develop their own custom silicon solutions to meet the evolving needs of the market. Over the past few years, there has been a shift towards developing custom chips in various sectors, including data centers. The emergence of custom video chips alongside these devices signifies a new era in video processing technology. #electricalengineering #electronics #embedded #embeddedsystems #electrical #computerchips Follow us on LinkedIn to get daily news: HardwareBee - Electronic News and Vendor Directory

🚨 Features of "Video Quality Monitor", episode 1 🚨 In a previous post, I wrote that I was going to present the many functionalities of "Video Quality Monitor" (VQM). Let's start with the metrics available in VQM. VQM contains metrics to measure: - perceived #video #quality, with 3 pixel-based metrics dedicated to HEVC, H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) and MPEG-2 - perceived video quality, with 2 parametric metrics (which use information from bitstream) dedicated to H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) and MPEG-2 - perceived video quality, with 2 hybrid metrics (which use both pixel values and information from bitstream) dedicated to H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) and MPEG-2 - perceived #audio #quality (based on audio samples values, for any audio codec) - audio/video synchronization (#lipsync) - #jerkiness (image freezing), predicting the impact of jerkiness or #rebuffering events on perceived quality (especially for #OTT services) - video #noise (to benchmark #video #cameras) - #bloom (= colorfulness, to benchmark #displays) - video and audio decodability (ultra fast decoding to count the numbers of decoded video frames and decoded audio samples in order to #check the real duration of audio/video files) - #loudness, according to ITU and EBU recommendations - spatio-temporal activity (in order to find the most #complex scenes in long movies, so that you can use them to #benchmark video #encoders) Would you like to evaluate these metrics?

Ever wondered how can your mobile phone play a video recorded by an ultra high definition camera and with hundreds of gigabytes in size smoothly? Technology advancements and demand for high resolution video have significantly increased in the past decades. Users are now able to stream 4K content on their devices without any interruption. This revolution caused the file sizes of these videos to go from few megabytes to hundreds of gigabytes making it hard for content providers to store and manage large files. It has also increased the demand for highly capable network solutions to handle the data traffic sent with the increase of digital content. But what is the solution, can companies continue expanding their data servers? This is where compression technologies come into play. Content providers can shrink the size of 100GB file to 100MB in order to distribute these files to the end user. There are dozens of compression technologies in the market that make the day to day video distribution smooth and possible. The goal of each compression (codec) can be different for example the H.264 generation of codecs are used for distribution purposes therefore, used in streaming platforms like Youtube. Conversely, codec like JPEG XS, targets professional environments like live production or broadcast where high quality video data is contentiously sent from venue for example a stadium to the studios and to the viewers without any latency and quality degradation. #videocompression #codecs #broadcast #liveproduction #Compressiontechnologies #H264 #JPEGXS #tech

Norsk is working closely with AMD to empower broadcasters and publishers to do more with less. More: • Higher throughput • Video transcoding and enrichment with Norsk on high-density hardware, the Alveo MA35D, so you can free up CPU resources • Increased channels and streams per card Less: • Lower cost • Lower power consumption • Lower latency #livestreaming #highdensity #lowlatency

With the right software (Norsk) and the right hardware (AMD), broadcasters and streaming publishers can reach their full potential while keeping costs and power consumption down.
