Video compression hardware implementation using programmable media processor

The contribution deals with the real time hardware implementation of the video compression algorithms. The real time media TM-1300 IREF PCI bus board used for research and education in Laboratory of television technique and video technique FEEC BUT is introduced. The different standards used for coding audio-visual information in a digital compressed format are presented in this paper too. Besides the MPEG family standards and the wavelet-based compression, the 3D-DCT transform is outline as well.
