Network Traffic Engineering: Why MPEG-TS Is Still The Standard

MPEG transport stream (MPEG TS) was designed in the 1990s to deliver continuous video and audio over unreliable, one-way networks, such as satellite, terrestrial RF, and cable, where packet loss and corruption are expected. But it is still prevalent in…

Standards: Video - High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC)

Designed to halve the bitrate of AVC while supporting resolutions up to 16K, HEVC represents a significant leap in video coding efficiency. This guide explores its profiles, tiers and levels, and examines whether it can overcome the challenges of entrenched…

Standards: Video - Advanced Video Coding (AVC)

AVC remains one of the most widely deployed video codecs in the world, but navigating its profiles, levels and signaling mechanisms is far from straightforward.

Network Traffic Engineering: RIST & SRT - The Success Of ARQ Based Protocols

IP networks are inherently unreliable. We kick off this series on IP Network Traffic Engineering with a look at how RIST and SRT give broadcast engineers user-configurable control over the latency-versus-reliability trade-off for real-time media streaming.
