Course detail

Video Technology and Multimedia

FEKT-PVTMAcad. year: 2016/2017

The course called Video Technology and Multimedia is focused on teaching the principles of processing of analog and digital video signals . Attention is paid to the capture, transmission and display of digital 2D video signals. Principles of MPEG and H.26x video compression standards , principles of distribution of image data through various data networks and principles of recording and processing of video editing suites are explained in detail. The last part of this course is dedicated to the processing of 3D image data and the MPEG-7 standard used in multimedia databases.
