    摘要: A rate control system suitable for use with a digital video transcoder, such as one conforming to the MPEG standard. The proposed rate control system starts coding with any reasonable set of assumed Group of Pictures (GOP) parameters, thereby avoiding a processing delay of about one GOP which would otherwise be incurred to extract the complete GOP structure information from a pre-compressed bit stream. In addition, the system avoids the need to store the data corresponding to the GOP, thereby reducing the memory required for transcoding. Encoding of a first picture in a sequence or GOP begins without a priori knowledge of the picture type of subsequent pictures. A reasonable set of GOP parameters is assumed to determine an encoding bit budget. The bit budget is gradually corrected as successive pictures are coded according to their picture types. Changes in the GOP structure of pre-compressed bitstreams can be addressed, for example, when switching channels, inserting commercials, and the like. Target rates with incorrect starting GOP parameters will converge within a few GOPs.

    摘要: A system for converting the color format of a digital video bitstream. The system accounts for the allowable formats of the pre- and-post-conversion bitstreams, including quantizer precision level, and whether luma and chroma data have separate quantization matrices, or share a common quantization matrix. In a particular implementation, an MPEG-2 4:2:2 P bitstream having a color format of 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 is converted to a MP bitstream having a color format of 4:2:0. Coding efficiencies are achieved by using the luma quantization matrix to re-quantize the chroma data, and re-using luma motion vectors for performing motion compensation of the chroma data. Further efficiencies can be achieved by representing a 4:2:2 reference picture in a 4:2:0 format for converting inter coded frames, and changing the position of a pixel downsizing filter and clip function. Adjustment of the quantization precision is provided as required. A transcoding function can also be achieved.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for determining timing information from an MPEG-2 stream carrying Advanced Video Coding (AVC) content is disclosed. The method includes receiving an initial access unit from the MPEG-2 stream, and determining whether the MPEG-2 stream contains a temporal picture order count (POC) parameter. If the temporal POC parameter is contained in the MPEG-2 stream, the temporal POC parameter is used to compute a presentation time stamp (pts) for a next presentation unit (m).

    摘要: A method, protocol and apparatus for transporting Advanced Video Coding (AVC) content, e.g., using MPEG-2 systems is disclosed. Specifically, the present method is related to the carriage of various flavors of AVC streams in a uniform fashion over MPEG-2 systems (e.g., both transport and program streams). The method includes generating the AVC content from an input stream, and thereafter transporting the AVC content in a transport stream or a program stream over MPEG-2. The AVC content is generated in accordance with at least one constraint that is associated with the transport stream or the program stream.
