Implementation of MPEG4-based transmission in DVB-T technology

Implemented in the 1990s, the MPEG-2 standard as one of today's most widely used image compressing methods provides the basis for baseband data transmission in DVB technology. However, the requirements of the current multimedia applications exceed the capabilities of MPEG-2 systems. On the other hand, these requirements are the driving forces of the MPEG-4 related developments worldwide. Our aim is to contribute to these activities by elaborating procedures that are more effective than the image compressing methods used in MPEG-2 systems, as well as by integrating them into DVB systems
