Abstract
This paper addresses the cascaded encoding-decoding cycles involved in broadcast contribution services and production chains and evaluates the performance of the High 422 profile of H.264 in terms of both video quality and bandwidth requirements. Several encoding-decoding concatenation processes are common in the production workflow, involving different format conversions, such as 422 to 420 chroma down-sampling, image resizing, and pixel shifting, which all significantly increase quality losses. Exhaustive simulations using three multigeneration encoding-decoding cycles are herein carried out using the High 422 profile. The results show that close to 1 dB quality losses and a 30% bit rate penalty are obtained for the third generation. With the aim of comparing the performances of the 422 and 420 H.264 profiles, the experiments were repeated for the High profile (420) of H.264. The results show a worse performance for 420 encoding, requiring increasing the bit rate by up to 15%, compared with the High 422 profile in order to achieve the same video quality. Thus, broadcasters and network operators can reduce their bandwidth estimations for contribution links and information technology networks.

bio
Juan José Anaya Luengo received a M.S. degree in telecommunications Engineering from Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM), Spain in 1989. — He began his career as a hardware designer engineer in the R&D department of Telettra España. In 1991, Alcatel acquired Telettra, and Anaya joined the R&D Radio access department, where he became the technical manager of the designing group from 1999 up to 2001. — In 2001, Anaya joined Sapec as technical manager, designing a complete professional video encoders system with proprietary technology for contribution links over PDH, SDH and IP, starting with MPEG-2 and then, with H264. He participates in several national and European projects related with video compression, UHDTV, 3D, multiview and transmission.

bio
Damián Ruiz Coll received a M.S. degree in telecommunications engineering from Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM), Spain in 2000. He is a Ph.D. candidate in computer science at Universidad Castilla La Mancha, and completed a doctoral research stay at the Florida Atlantic University (FAU) during 2012. Ruiz is working as a researcher at the Mobile Communication Group (MCG) at the Institute of Telecommunications and Multimedia Applications (iTEAM) in Valencia, Spain. His research focuses on low complexity algorithm for new video coding standard, and high-efficiency video coding. He is a member of DVB, FOBTV, MPEG and “Beyond HD” of EBU. — Ruiz has more than 15 years of experience as R&D engineer at the Spanish public broadcaster, RTVE, and was involved in R&D projects related to HDTV video coding. He has participated in a number of ad hoc groups at the European Broadcasting Union organization, including HDTV production (EBU/HDTP), HD contribution codecs (EBU/HDCC), and chairing the distribution scalable video coding (EBU/DSVC) group.
