Digital HDTV using MPEG 2

When HD-Divine first demonstrated a digital TV-system it was a terrestrial 27 Mbit/s HDTV-system. Since the ISO-standard MPEG 2 was agreed we have been working on a new version of a baseband unit including coding and multiplexing. The video algorithm utilises features of MPEG 2 with Divine-specific optimised motion estimation, decision criteria and regulation to achieve high picture quality. The audio coding follows the MPEG 1-layer 2 specification with flexibility in number of channels and quality.
