Abstract: Practical high-definition television (HDTV) broadcasting has been an objective for television engineers for decades and is now feasible through the use of the MPEG-2 compression algorithm. The source bit rate can exceed 1 Gbit/sec and the target rate for transmission is less than 20 Mbits/sec thus requiring a reduction ratio of more than 60:1. Implementing MPEG-2 for HDTV is a significant technical challenge because the processing speeds involved are high and particularly affect the motion estimation and compensation part of the process. This paper is concerned with how implementation issues affect the performance of MPEG-2 coding for HDTV.

bio
Gordon M. Drury holds a bachelor's degree in electronic engineering and a B.A. in humanities. He has worked in the telecommunications and broadcasting industries for over 30 years. — Drury began his career in 1967 working in R&D for telecommunications, including early compression systems for television. From 1974 to 1990 he was with the IBA in the U.K., where he headeded projects in digital transmission and compression of television signals, digital video and audio recording, and source coding for digital television. — During the 1980s Drury was a senior member of the development team studying HDTV and its practical introduction. He served on a number of CCIR (now ITU-R) and EBU committees. He is vice-president of technology at Tandberg Television, responsible for new business development. — Drury has presented numerous lectures and seminars on broadcasting technology and has published over 90 papers. He is a Fellow of the U.K. Institution of Electrical Engineers.
