    "abstract": "This paper describes some important criteria to consider when selecting a video encoder. In addition to discussing features, it will outline the practical tests that users can perform to assess the relative merits of MPEG-2 encoder products. There are a variety of encoder designs but also a correspondingly wide deviation in the picture quality for a given bit rate. We are now seeing some admirable devices that go some way to measuring picture quality, but they only tell part of the story. This paper will explain how to augment objective measurements with additional tests and feature analysis. It should place the buyer in a better position to unzip the hype and fully evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of an encoder.",

Since joining DiviCom, he has focused on marketing encoding systems, including DiviTrack, a statistical multiplexing feature of the MediaView MV40 program encoder. Previously, Brydon worked for the ITV Network Technology Centre in the U.K., where he led the hardware approval tests for the ITV Synchronous Digital Hierarchy inter-studio network. He also developed and approved picture quality tests for PAL decoders, aspect ratio converters, videotape recorders, disk servers, and noise reduction and satellite news gathering equipment. Brydon received a B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the Robert Gordon Institute of Technology in Scotland.",
