Abstract
This paper outlines the history of video compression, emphasizing how the concepts we now apply in today's digital world also applied in earlier work on analog television. The paper describes how analog techniques such as gamma correction, interlaced scanning, vestigial sideband transmission, and the transmission of reduced-bandwidth color components using a color subcarrier can be interpreted in terms of video compresion concepts. The basic principles of digital video compression are also outlined and are traced through the generations of standards including H.261, MPEG-2, H.264/AVC, and HEVC.
