Abstract: Due to the large savings in bandwidth that MPEG-4 AVC compression provides over MPEG-2 Video, content providers are now, or soon will be, migrating to MPEG-4 AVC for distribution to local broadcasters and service providers, as well as for contribution backhauls. MPEG-4 AVC enables improved picture quality of existing services or additional services to be provided, or a combination of both. Migrating to MPEG-4 AVC introduces many changes to the programmer's infrastructure. The “HD challenge” is discussed, along with a review of how MPEG-4 AVC compression improves upon MPEG-2 Video. DVB-S2 modulation is overviewed and the bandwidth efficiency gains one obtains when it is combined with MPEG-4 AVC compression is explained. Migration issues to consider are discussed including the support of legacy MPEG-2 Video receive sites and the impact of multiple decode/encode stages (concatenation).
