Abstract :
Compression of motion video and hi-fidelity audio for real-time playback targeted at a number of different playback platforms has entered the domain of big business. The choice of architectures for this compression is varied. The most versatile solution for compression uses a general-purpose supercomputer-class computer. This choice allows for the highest quality moving pictures expert group (MPEG) compression by providing the mechanisms for processing of video and audio to follow any number of tunable, user-definable, customizable and computationally expensive operations.<>
